Jealousy and abuse will not be tolerated.....biggrin

Went to my first game v Blackpool at Maine Road in 1961 with Bert Trautmann in goal.

That'll be the Manchester United fans on the way to the match from Essex.

Why do you have the worst kit in football?

Anaemic blue. I used to like the old "diagonal stripe" shirts from Malcolm Allison's days. Anything but baby blue with white shorts. A top team needs striking kit.

I like the blue (tbh), never did like the diagonal striped ones, but I did like the black and red vertical striped one we wore in the 1969 FA cup final against Leicester.

Some blasts from the past.

Where you there for this one. I can see myself, at 53 seconds in, towards the top left.

And then Tony Dorigo in the 2nd half, we just went utterly mental. Great memories.

Is it true you can't get a brew at City because all the mugs are in the stand and the cups at Old Trafford?

How did it feel to be an honorary Bristol city fan on Wednesday?

Yes, it was an exciting game for a neutral, Chelsea had a decent team back then.

Before Sheikh Mansour's money came in, supporting City was always been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, mediocre most of the time, but we have a very loyal fan base, even in the third division we used to get 30,000 in Maine Road.

Fellow Man City fan signing in. (45 years and counting).

De Bruyne by a country mile.

Kinky definitely....City fans worshipped him.

De Bruyne is a wonderfully gifted player though.

Yes, you played very well.

Your old manager Terry Cooper was one of my favourite players in the late 60's. One of the very first overlapping full backs.
