Distin goal vs Villa

Bored and came across it on youtube

Some goal that was! I remember we were fantastic that game. But seeing the team we had 6 years ago compared to today is ridiculous.

Distin gets stick off us lot but he was a good servant to City in what were rough times, if memory serves correct he completes his whole contract and left on a free and we are his longest served club.

Still maintain that Dusty and Dunne at their peaks were the best CB partnership we have had.

It just worked.

They were great. Their partnership and the keeper behind them (James) were the best thing about the club at the time.

Loved that goal, remember watching it live.

Brilliant weren't they, so much more than the sum of their parts.

Agree.
It was really Distin who made Dunne look good and to some extent vice versa.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

They were a great partnership but only for a short while. For some reason, both lost it.

Dunne was a sensational 'back to the walls' defender. Yes he wasn't world class but he did put in some truly outstanding performances for us over the years.

Well remember that night. We used to have a good giggle win or (mainly) lose in those days. Everything went right that night. Even Samaras had a blinder as I recall.
