Back in the late 70s early 80s i used to Watch Liverpool, United and Everton (Kendall's mid 80s team) and appreciate brilliant football. I was slightly jealous i suppose and wanted City to share some success by winning a cup, that would have done me as the 76 League cup win was a distant memory as a 12 year old lad. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd see us playing like we are and winning trophies each year for the last 11 years. I still have to pinch myself every now and again to realise I'm not dreaming.

We won't always be winning trophies but for now they(City) have surpassed all my hopes and dreams. Loved the club just as much back in the day of winning F all though.

The three quarter final games against City stand out for me,Lee and Summerbee were outstanding in the first two.
 

Anyway, I know 2 true City fans, lads who have been with them through the ringer and honestly, I'm made up for them.

Haaland isn't of this planet, he's Michael Jordan mixed with Lola Bunny in Space Jam.

I used to love the night games at Maine Road mate, there was always something special about them.

A cracking curry in one of the old skool, tiny curry houses in Rusholme, a few pints of Holts, in the Albert, off Wilmsow Road and then a walk to the ground, dodging the bricks that got lobbed at you on the way.

It really was something to look forward too.

I still pop into the Albert when I`m in Manchester, proper back street boozer, with a real mix of patrons - " wanna buy a lap top mate " lol

Maine Road, the good old days, even when we were bad.

Alas.

Thanks pal.

The tourists have been coming gradually year on year since we first started winning trophies in 2011, especially for Champions League games. I've had a season ticket for many years but I've had to give it up due to cost this season, I just can't afford it. Still go to odd games though and i have a ticket v Brighton which I'm looking forward to.

I miss going to home league and cup games but the club don't care if i don't go because 'Johnny come lately' glory hunter will take my seat and a lot of old skool blues have been and are being priced out, sadly.

Thing that annoys me the most is the club sell plenty of match day tickets to online ticket agencies who charge a small fortune, hence us dubbed as the 'Emptihad'. And i get cheeky young know nowt upstarts tryna take the p!ss when they don't go to watch United and Liverpool themselves. Lol.

Still have to my knowledge the best fan chant anywhere, " If the Neville's play for England so can I, " lol
If you're old enough what did you make of Rodney Marsh, because to my memory, in the 70's City were a very good team at that time.
