Typical City

[Socrates]

Wasn't that Bolton - and we hit the woodwork about 8 times before they got a last minute penalty?

Mind you that could be a completely separate game!

No, different game. Bolton game was at the reebok, dunne gave a penalty away in injury time. At least bolton therefore had a shot on target. We scored an og vs boro, they didnt have another shot in the game

Bolton was a home game when they got a penno in injury time.
Boro was at home too. Not one shot then in the last minute a cross hit the back of Sun's heel and went in his own net. Incredible.

That was the Sun own goal where Dunne missed his clearance completely and it hit Sun and went in wasn't it, not the one where Dunne kicked it against Sun and it went in, who was that against can't remember?

Being bought by billionaire Thaksin only for him to then have his fortune confiscated immediately afterwards was fairly typical City. Then we won the lottery and then were told we couldn't spend most of it. Typical City?

maybe slightly different - but winning that game at stoke 5 - 2 and still getting relegated

scroring what must be the best ever og - pollock

fuck me - there are so many i am sure if i could be motivated to think

3-0 down at half time, star striker off injured best played(arguably) sent off and win in 90

beating scum on the anniversary of munich.. "their special day"

Missing out on Berbatov............. and ending up with Robinho :)

Haha, that's quality. Our saviour and also our biggest 'typical' moment IMO.

Maybe the Yanks will decide to invade UAE whilst they're in the region pissig everyone else off, that would probably fit the bill. They'd probably class us City fans as terrorists or something.

the fact that there are several of those to choose from is pretty fantastical.

is this thread attempting to purge or temp fate?

karma doesn't like fucking with...just a thought.

I'm going to beat John68 to it, but winning the league in 1937 but being relegated in 1938 despite scoring more goals than anyone else takes some beating

Was talking about this in work today. We're also the only club in history to score and concede more than 100 goals in the same season, get relegated with a positive goal difference and have the record for the relegated team to have scored the most goals (89).

And they say we haven't got history!

Was the Bolton game the one where Sibierski hit the bar three teams with the same header?

He was good in the air you know.
As for the match, it was at COMS and was Keegan's last stand. Then Stu took over and we went on a bit of a run, and if I remember rightly the run culminated in Fowler's missed penno against Middlesborough.

Typical City? Ok, set phasers for Wist. Think I've been properly Blue since about 87/88.

By 1992, after all the vids watched, memories listened to, and dreams imagined, I was ready to believe we could win summat again. Still got the picture ticket of that FA cup QF, against Tottingham at Maine Road. Shezza and Vonky on it, looking mint.

Game started well; Mike Sheron scored the opener, and everything looked rosey, til we got dicked.

Spurs as we all know ran out four-two winners ( I think?!), and many people missed (we've got that) Terry Phelan's pitch-traversing wonder goal, which never got us back in it. I saw it, and saw at almost the same moment, scores of our fans pour onto the pitch, seemingly in an attempt to reverse our bad fortune, and call it off for a replay cos we should have gone through.

It didn't work. As the fans ran down the Kippax steps to get on the pitch, I looked at my dad, as if to say, 'Is this the moment where we join the pitch invasion and leg it on to the Maine Road turf?' A brief look told me to STFU, and we watched the mentalness unfold, and it was pretty shameful.

One of the police horses, whilst clearing the pitch of fans, shat and pissed in our penalty area. Can anyone else remember our goalie kicking horseshit to try and get it pitch level and playable? Was it Coton? Either way, it was typical City.
