It wasn't an own goal it was hand ball I think by Dunney. Must be a stato on here that can confirm?

I just had a look, that game is on the City Website 10th April this year. That was Dunney. Gary Speed R.I.P scored the penalty for Bolton. David James speaks about it. It happened in 2005. The game with the Jihai Sun own goal happened in 2003. There is a story I just found in The Northern Echo "A Victory for Magnificent Defence " Apparently Middlesboro didn't have a shot or a corner. Kevin Keegan is quoted as saying " It was an incredible match and it's hard to believe the result". Seems like despite all City's recent success there still remains an element of " Typical City"

You think all their Phuket Reds buy their shirts from registered outlets? :/

All their squillions of fans across the globe will be wearing knock off snide "Gorton Market" specials and the scum won't be making a single penny from it.

You answered your own question. “ Wonder how he thinks? “ He doesn’t that’s just the point. Brainless clown stealing a living.

I'm actually tempted to watch Rags v Villa on Sunday just to laugh at the vitriol coming for their Players, Coach and Manager by the entitled twats .... but we're playing down at Craven Cottage and still need a point?

Tricky one????

No it's not.
City are playing.
So they don't exist for 90 minutes.
After and before the game laugh away

Manchester City v Bolton Wanderers, 18 September 2005

11v11 football match report for Manchester City v Bolton Wanderers, Premier League 2006 , 18 September 2005

This was the one I was thinking about. I don't think Bolton had a shot on target until that pen. We all walked out in stunned silence.

Thanks, a similar thing happened in 2003 with a Sun Jihai own goal. Apparently they didn't have a shot or a corner all game but somehow still won the game.

The infamous Stuart Pearce season where we only scored 10 goals at home all season, and none after New Year’s Day, saw us amass 42 points. Rags are on 39 points with 1 to play… some perspective as to their level! They are at best on a par with us under Pearce, only they spent over £1 billion to get there.

Yep. It's hard to compare precisely across eras, but all the underlying data says this is a relegation standard team that might have easily gone down. Perhaps if there was a real risk they'd have put a bit more energy in the league and likely survived, but on raw performance they have been saved by the fact there are three worse teams.
