Most complete performance I have ever seen was the 1-0 victory over United at the back end of the 2012 season. We have had bigger margins of victory over them but to stop them even having a shot on goal in a game which was an almost title decider was a phenomenal achievement. Just a complete professional performance from the 1st minute to the last.
The 5-2 is still probably my favourite City match of all time for enjoyment. Two teams hell bent on attacking it was like a game of basketball. Ille Dumitrescu was outstanding that day and on a par with Henry as the best opposing player performance I have seen.
Newcastle 3-3 Still get goosebumps watching kinkladze leave the three or four opposing defenders on their backside when we were attacking the Umbro Stand. Such a shame his shot flew over the bar as it would have been an incredible goal.
I remember the 1-1 with a Quinny header when we played them off the park only for Rush to score a tremedous volley. The headers memorable as it appeared a clear cut chance but Quinny headed it into the ground and time stood still as it tricked in off the post. The 2-2 I remember White scored two great Lobs?
Probably worth chucking in one of the 4-0s against Leeds and our 2-1 win at Villa park live on Tv when they were going for the lge and we had not won away for ages. Peter Reid with the winner.
At the age of 6, that 5-2 against Spurs was my first real memory of going to a City game. Been to a few before that (first game was a 4-0 loss to Everton) but the Spurs game stands out for obvious reasons.

I'd agree with this, or possibly the first half against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the 2011/12 season.We played better in the 3-0 at the swamp in 13/14
Total domination from start to finish
The 10-1? Really? I bet there's been plenty of (top flight) games in the last five years where we've created twice as many goal scoring opportunities than we had in that game. Pretty much every meaningful attempt on goal in the second half went in. For me, that isn't enough. I don't think we played with a particular swagger that day, we were just ruthlessly efficient.The Huddersfield 10 - 1 for me. Their consolation was scored by an ex blue as well. More modern was the cup win at spuds with 10 men, or the 6 - 1 at the swamp. Silva's pass was awsome.
I'd forgotten the 4-0 vs Leeds. Didn't we do them by the same score 2 years running. There was a fabulous team goal started by Brightwell in one of them. Either way I've added it to my list. Cheers!
My parents wouldn't let me go to the 3-1 at the swamp so it's got to be the ballet on ice for me. Taking into account the conditions - the game would never have started nowadays - some of the football we played was unbelievable.Old codger here:
3-1 v United (A) March 1968 was the most complete (and satisfying) City performance I have ever witnessed, especially as we came back from a goal down and simply took them apart. I can still see Colin Bell's beautiful equaliser as clearly as if it was yesterday.
The ballet on ice in December 1967 runs it close.
