My mum still had a box of my stuff in the garage that included some of my City programmes from the 80s and 90s. This is where it all began… I've got that programme. I also remember going to Aldershot three, possibly four times in a season when we drew them in two cup competitions and one tie had 2 replays I think?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" was the general consensus from our lot, not taking a step back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, The Stockport Skins were tough but small in number. I worked in Greater Manchester and have relatives who are fanatical CityMancs. I can confirm they occasionally gave the Stockport boys a helping hand when big firms or those with reputations visited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unheard of, Dundee Utility were a firm made up of Dundee and Dundee Utd fans who teamed up to take on the much bigger visiting firms of Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts.

Yea same, I'd met a few on a stag do a few months prior as my mate had lived in Manchester so I had drinks with them before/after. Thought we were as good as many of lower Prem teams and thought we'd be on our way up That Sunderland game still gives me nightmares. I've no idea how that happened to this day. Pack own goal or something for the equaliser as well wasn't it? Completely de-railled our season (along with the Wolves defeat and the energy expended in the cup games) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack own goal or something for the equaliser as well wasn't it? Completely de-railled our season (along with the Wolves defeat and the energy expended in the cup games) We scored two own goals in that one. Each game in which we dropped points relatively needlessly put more pressure on the next game to attack it whereas had we got the results we should we could have in tough games been a bit more content with a draw away from home e.g. Wolves at home- should have got 1 to 3 points. 1 to 3 dropped. That feeds into later whereby Norwich at home we had a lot of possession and some chances but lost 1-0. Had we got the 1-3 v Wolves we should have for a bit less pressure won this game. Bolt on away on a Friday night, can be tricky- had we likewise got the poinrs we should have in the two prior how games- 4-6 IMO, a bit less pressure on tbis and maybe we can even counter them a bit. Sunderland in particular, two dropped-- bit more margin for error to maybe tough out a point at Cardiff and Preston as these were counter pressing sides even at home. Should have made playoffs anyway that season I think from where we were an hour in v Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I’ve got a lot of respect for PaulPowersLeftFoot who dealt the best ever crushing blow to a Gashead’s fragile mental state the last time we drew Man City in a cup competition…..

Pretty sure Jamie peacock played in midfield for them that day , can remember thinking he was going to be a really top player, he still had a decent career but not as good as I thought he would.

Yes we started game sharply from memory. Crowd were up for it, under the lights- Tomlin missed a great chance at 0-0. We score when on top and with the crowd 3veb more up for it after going ahead who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
