Your top 5 "typical City" moments
- Thread starter Prestwich_Blue
- Start date
1- Having produced potentially the best centre midfielder since Colin The King only for him to rupture his cruciate ligament and never play properly for us again.
2- Get rid of Swales to replace him with 'Forward With Franny'.
3- Announce that we have just signed the first £10m player.
4- Get taken over by a billionaire only for him to have his assets frozen.
5- Richard Edghill arguably one of the worst right backs I've ever seen steps up to take a penalty against Gillingham, the crowd announce in a chorus of groans 'what the fuck is he doing' only for him to cooly clip it in off the underside of the bar.

That missed pen by DV against the scum at Eastlands, if he'd of scored that to make it 1-1 that entire shit season under Pearce might, just might have have been forgotten !

1. Me missing the Huddersfield 10-1, making the effort as a wee nipper to watch them play the return game at Leeds Road because we were going to "do them again"...we lost 1-0
2. Every time an explayer scores against us......or an explayer we let go scores (this sends my Dad nuts...when hes watching Soccer Saturday and Chris Greenacre scores against Halifax...he goes on about City selling our best players!!!)
3. Cup shocks against lower league teams...so many to list...actually should we really call them shocks, when you expect them???
4. Not signing Figo and "dirty old man" Ryan Giggs after we had them on trial
5. Valeri Bojinov - was going to lead us into the promised land, did his cruciate in his first start. Played for a matter of minutes. (not pulling up any trees in Italy is he??)

Haha, some great 'moments' in this thread. I'll probably be repeating a few, but these are just since I've been supporting us (circa. 1998). These are my 'City defining' moments:
1. Losing to United not once, not twice, but three times in the last five minutes... in a single season.
2. Being 0-3 down away from home to Tottenham, down to 10-men, then staging the most unlikely comeback in cup history.
3. Being 4-0 down to Arsenal at home around abouts 2001 I think. The Arsenal team that day were playing some sublime football, us City fans came up with one of the best atmospheres ever that night. Such great chants as "We want five." Ole-ing the passes Arsenal were stringing together and making fun of David Seaman's pony tail.
4. Jamie Pollock scoring such a convincing own goal that you could have sworn he was playing for the opposition.
5. Stuart Pearce missing that penalty, the keeper told him he wouldn't try and save it. He just had to get it on target.

was also the game we took Claudio Rayna off for Nicky Weaver and David James Super Striker with his silky skills won us that penalty !!Niall2407 said:Robbie Fowler when he missed a penalty in the last minute against Middlesborough. That penalty would have put us in the UEFA Cup, which at the time the UEFA Cup seemed like a million miles away from Man City ever competing in it
