Can't believe exactly 20 years ago today I went to see Oasis at The City Of Manchester Stadium. And my best mate (who still is today) got so wasted he threw up in a bin on the concourse and missed half the gig!!! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

To be honest you'd know if you were at Pallett Park as there'd be people outside with buckets asking for "donations"

I like to imagine him shouting "Fuck you" to the prosecution just like Mancini did to his players after Jamie Mackie scored

Does anyone know why Alan Wilkie gave the rags a penalty against us in the 1996 FA Cup game? That decision still winds me up even today

One of my favourite City photos. I'm one of the kids(can't remember which one!!) sat on the wall near the union jack flag. There was definitely more than 52,000 there that day. Never seen the windy corner so full

Thanks Jo! I idolized him as a kid. My dad always said he was the best City player he'd seen since Colin Bell and we were both there for his testimonial in 96. Hope you, Paul and the rest of the family are doing well. 🩡

One of the greatest debates on bluemoon is still raging on after many years.

So the question is...

Muffin or Barm?

Being a North Manchester lad it's always been muffin

If anyone says anything else they are wrong!!

It’s time to bring back an old school Twitter classic.

It’s #FollowFriday! It would be great to build a big City community ahead of the return of the Premier League next weekend.

It’s simple. Repost this post and follow everyone who does. Start using the hashtag and follow anyone using it.

Much better thanks. Between 2019-22 I was in a really dark place. Still on medication but with the help of AMC, work, Dr and a great friend support network im coping much better. One of thing I've learnt is that it's okay not to be okay and don't bottle stuff up. Talking is the best therapy for me

Andy's Man Club | #ITSOKAYTOTALK ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity, offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online.

Can highly recommend Andy's Man Club as well. Went to their session a few times when I was going though a really bad period a couple of years ago. They are excellent and have partnered up with City as well

Used to love night games. Getting off the bus at the curry mile and walking down Claremont Road seeing a faint white haze in the distance getting bigger as you got closer. Then walking up the steps in the windy corner and see the pitch for the first time. Proper buzzing as a kid
