Manchester City 2000-2010

[10.Goater_Legend]

Thought this would be a good idea for a thread, all your favourite Manchester City memories of the last decade that really has been an important one in the history of our great club.

1. Your top ten favourite players of the decade?

Robinho
Shaun Goater
Eyal Berkovic
Richard Dunne
Shay Given
Marc-Vivien Foe
Nicolas Anelka
Shaun Wright-Phillips
Martin Petrov
Paul Dickov

2. Your favourite match at Maine Road?

Last derby at Maine Road beating the Rags 3-1

3. And at Eastlands also?

Hamburg for me last season, was a turning point for the club imo.

4. Worst memorys of the decade?

The sad loss of Marc-Vivien Foe, the relegation in 2001 aswell as pretty much the whole of the 2006/07 season.

5. Best atmosphere at a game in the decade?

Rags, Maine Road, 9th November 2002 followed by Hamburg at home last season.

6. Worst players of the decade?

Laurent Chavet
Bernardo Corradi
Ousmaine Dabo
Georgios Samaras
Steve McManaman

7. Biggest waste of money?

Matious Vouso.

8. Signing of the decade?

Shay Given.

9. Favourite moment of the decade?

The takeover in 2008 closely followed by getting promoted at Blackburn in 2000.

10. Manager of the decade?

Big Joe Royle for me after the work he did getting us back up from the third-tier.

11. Finally player of the decade?

Richard Dunne.

[Colin the King]

Nice idea mate, there's certainly been a lot to talk about this decade.

1. Top Ten Players:

Shaun Goater
Ali Benarbia
Shaun Wright-Phillips
Richard Dunne
Eyal Berkovic
Paul Dickov
Marc-Vivien Foe
Craig Bellamy
Sylvain Distin (silly comments after leaving us but he was a great player and his partnership with Dunnie was brilliant)
Nicolas Anelka

2. Favourite match at Maine Road- It's a toss up between the last derby and a game against Watford, in the Championship, when Ali B was just a joy to behold...I mean frighteningly good. Always sticks in my head. Also Southampton was an emotional day even if the result didn't go our way.

3. At Eastlands- Definitely the 4-1. I've never felt such a rush go through me as when Shaun belted in that fourth. Amazing.

4. Worst Memories- Relegation in 00/01 was a bitter pill to swallow, but at least we came back and haven't looked down since, Foé's death was horrible of course and away trips in the freezing cold to places like Boro, West Brom and Bolton weren't the best either. For me they were actually more disappointing than the Pearce era because we should have been doing better. In 06/07 our squad was gash and just staying alive was a relief.

5. Best atmosphere- The two derbies in 02 and 03, Hamburg in the UEFA Cup and more recently Chelsea the other week. The place was red hot that night.

6. Worst players- Ousmane Dabo, Shteeve Mcmanamanamanamanaman, Matias Vuoso, Corradi. I actually thought Samaras was half decent!

7. Biggest waste of money- Vuoso or Bianchi (£10 fucking million)

8. Signing of the decade- Given, Bellamy or the return of Shaunie

9. Favourite moment- The 4-1 at Ewood, what a brilliant day.

10. Player of the decade- Torn between SWP and Dunnie. So both!
