It has to be the strangest tactical change I have seen in my life. Hey we need to win this game, I know sub a CM and put your goalie up front. Utter madness but pure City.


Remember that game well.

As for James up front, it worked, caused utter panic for no apparent reason and wasn't it him who got brought down for the penalty at the end?

Same here, thought I was going to get killed when we went one up. Then the aggression turned into a massive piss take as they put five past us.

One of my most memorable one was away to Villa in the cup several years back, we were all over them but managed to be one down on 90. Lee Croft busted a gut to win us a corner, duly put away by a very young Micah for his first goal. Mentalness I've not see equaled till Aguaro's league winner ensued. Missed his famous MOTD interview though.

Another one I'm surprised hasn't come up is the 4-3 against spuds.

This was like the wild west - proper moody atmosphere all day long. Remember Curle bottling his penalty & that kid Ricketts(?) who went to Bolton scoring their winner. Also remember Cardiff coming onto the pitch & running towards the away end & Phelan being the only player to stay on to come through the Cardiff fans to applaud us


Nathan Blake?

Got bummed 7-1 and Dunnie sent off, remember it more for the fact that it was hot and sunny in Manchester, T-shirt weather and everyone in shorts - fooking -1 up in that shite hole, old mans cock of a place! That stupid tune they played each time they scored was the only thing keeping us warm to dance to until the pigs started to wade in for the sake of it (think one bald cunt of a pig lost his hat and started to wave his stick around like a tosser) until we scored and celebrated like we'd won the league!

Tossers went down that year i think, no big loss to entertainment and a crowd that made Wigan fans seem committed.

Score line was shite, pigs were wankers but ended up being like a party atmosphere!


Think they went down the year after - that was the only game where Alfonso Alvez played well for them as local legend goes - the weather was cracking the flags when I left Darlo, remember getting to the ground & realising I couldn't see the top of the transporter bridge. Proper kicked off as well, police were always wankers when we went there & it just ended up with flying seats & general bollocks. Is that tune not called Pig Bag or something like that - can remember once being delighted we'd got a 0:0 there - horrible horrible ground, was there when Tiatto had a goal disallowed for Huckerby (?) being offside - utter shite!

@GaryJamesWriter: On this day in 2000 – Goals from Goater, Dailly (og), Kennedy and Dickov bring a 4-1 promotion-guaranteeing win for MCFC at Blackburn.

Now that was a memorable game. I'd love to know how many Blues were actually at that game - either in the stands or on the hill watching.

I was in the top tier of the away end and remember seeing Blues everywhere in the rest of the ground. Once one was spotted, the rest started emerging, taking off jackets and coats.

What a day to signal our come back to the big time. Obviously, we then got relegated, but on that day 'City Are Back'.

Great shout Paddy, I remember thinking at half time if we concede another I'm offski, there had already been a little bit of "banter" before the game and I didn't fancy a further repeat walking the mile or so to the tube. As it was we scored and the rest was history, we stayed in for a full 30 minutes after the whistle watching the match/goals giving it large to an empty ground!! I'm lead to believe that for those Blues who left after the whistle there was considerable "banter" with the natives...............fucking detest spuds fans
