this a million times, what the fuck was he thinking :(

Might sound daft as we drew 2-2 and left staying up out of our hands, but this remains one of my best ever games. The atmosphere that day was unreal. Remember blue moon belting out about 10 mins before kickoff and I'd never heard it that loud before. Remember reading in the pink on the way home that Vinny Jones had gripped Kinky up against the tunnel wall and told him when he touches the ball he'd get his legs broke. With his first touch he banged a wonder free kick and ran past Vinny Jones laughing at him. Thinking of games like this one reminds me how awesome the atmosphere at Maine Road could be. This game was defintely "typical city" but not only for the shite we produced on the pitch, also for the brilliance we produce off it. CTID.

I think you're in the wrong thread mate.

Being relegated as defending champions (and weren't we top scorers as well?) would have to be at the top, you cannot get a better repsentation of "typical City" than that, it is the height of it.

Apart from that, in no particular order.

1. Fowler's penalty miss
2. Owen's winner at the Swamp.
3. Pearce's penalty miss
4. 4-3 against Tottenham, down to 10, best striker off injured, team in poor form, unbelievable.
5. Being the only side to beat Chelsea in the 04/05 season.

Other mentions to:
Beating United just days after losing to Wigan in a Worthington Cup tie.
Signing a player with an allergy to...grass.
Sacking a manager despite only having lost twice in about 20 games.
Robinho signing for us and then getting us confused with Chelsea a couple of days later in an interview.
Owen scoring a hattrick against us despite not having managed a goal in open play all season (2002/03)
Fulham's comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and ending up staying up.
Having the chance to go top at Christmas, City being in great form, Everton having not won in 7 and, yes, you guessed it, Everton won.
Setting record for least number of home goals in a season.

Re: Your top 5

1. Allowing Michael Brown - on loan from City - to play against us for Sheffield United..... result - SUFC 1 MCFC 0.
Scorer: M Brown.......

2. Doncaster in the League Cup
3. Oldham in the FA Cup
4. Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup
5. Lech Poznan away, Europa Cup

Oh god, there was a time when every ex player who played us scored. Remember that?

Francis Lee Derby county scoring against us and what a goal it was
Lee Badbuy scoring against us
Signing Trevor francis and he scores 2 on his debut but is out for most of the season with injury eventually selling him to sampdoria
leaving Clive Allen to rot on the bench
Steve Daley trumping Utd over transfer fee because Swales wanted the glory ...............ooops
Signing BALL,CLARK,ALLISON,COPPELL, REID,Letting NEAL takeover FOR A BIT and letting KENDALL go was a mistake but number one was letting SWALES TAMPER with the club he loved so much but destroy so much in the time he was there........................................typical CITY!!!!

QPR's other goal was even more typically city. QPR got a free kick, Margetson handed it meekly to their players, who then took a quick one and scored

And if that wasn't enough, wasn't it an ex City player he handed it to? (Mike Sheron)

Tommy Hutch sums it all up for me, Corrigan had Hoddle's free-kick covered too.

I remember keegan making Ali Bernarbia team captain just before the start of our 2nd season in the prem after promotion.

We played Mansfield Town away in a pre season friendly,great away turn out,all pissed,basking in the sunshine..Ali played,then walked off the pitch at the end and immediately. announced his retirement from 1st class football.

Typical city.
