Scott7 6,008 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 City destroyed Everton in under forty minutes with breathtaking football which drew admiring gasps from Evertonians in the stands. Sublime. They then retained possession with countless passes the length and breadth of the park for the rest of the game without seriously attempting to score. Christ, it was boring. A less polished spectacle, blood and guts, up and at ‘em, get wired in, thrills and spills would have been much more exciting but I am a dinosaur struggling in an age of sophistication. I didn’t suppose City fans could care less. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The first two goals were two of the best I've seen this season. Hopefully City thump United next week to wrap up the league title (my interest in English football has waned in the last few years but I still can't stand that team from Stretford). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,008 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 I like City from the old Trautmann cup final in which Bobby Johnstone also played and also Mercer’s fabulous team 1968. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Carlisle Utd v City in about '83 (old 2nd division) was the first game I ever attended. I took a liking to City because of the red and black shirts (blame The Beano and Dennis the Menace and Roger the Dodger's jumpers!). Strangely, the more successful they become, the less interested I am. Edited April 1, 2018 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police everywhere are like that. And some of our fans didn't exactly cover themselves in glory that day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I understand that but am suspicious of the "alleged failure" of the transmission at the biggest area in Picadilly Square,I viewed it on the large screens in another area.Still I suppose the riot cops in hiding down the side streets had to get their adrenaline fix and earn their money 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
