shandypants Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I think a great deal will depend on the attitude of the ref towards “tough” tackling and simulation. If he clamps down on the former and turns a blind eye on the latter, there’s a high chance that one of our players will be sent off. If the ref allows “tough” tackling and is wise to simulation then we have a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always disliked Man Utd and I remember City beating them in a midweek Cup game 4-0, watched highlights and was impressed with football City played, they had some great players back then, likes of Colin Bell, Asa Hartford and a bit later Tommy Hutchinson but my fav was Peter Barnes, he was unstoppable when on form. Francis Lee was one of my boyhood heros, scored a cracker of a goal for England against Wales ,had a soft spot for City buts its waned as now they have become so successful.

Same here. I don’t begrudge them the success; it’s the manner that they’ve achieved the success that turns me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have a solid and very large group of “traditional” fans but they seem to have also acquired a lot of plastic fans and glory chasers. Maybe it just comes with the territory. I remember seeing quite a few people wearing Blackburn shirts in the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally, your Citys and your Chelseas haven’t been at the level to win top flight championships regularly. City should be in a group, along with the likes of us, Chelsea, Villa, Spurs, Everton, Newcastle, Leeds and Forest that push at the higher end of the top division. Money has screwed that up now and we find the likes Bournemouth, Burnley and Brighton in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Uniform Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Used to really like City. They were a club like us had become a yoyo. Plus they had Shaun Goater, who was one of my favourite players growing up (my dad was a Rotherham fan). Can't really abide them now. Live in Manchester and my gf's family are all city. Went to the Etihad for a champions league game, it felt soulless. My gf's dad refuses to go and he had a season ticket at Maine road for years.

edwinowl Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Used to love away days at main road. Proper old footie ground that They just got lucky when their new owners came in and employed people who knew what they were doing. Difference being they could spend proper back then.

Our highest attendance was against them and they tried to stop up getting relegated in ‘70. I think playing the under 7s is harsh. Don’t they have any under 5s! obviously they're going for it.

HIGHERSTATE Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Last time we played them in the FA cup we went drinking at the Printworks. We were talking to some Man City lads and they said they still couldn't believe their luck at what was happening. And that they were just waiting for it to all go wrong. Maybe this is the time. Starting next Wednesday ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
