I think a lot of people forget that whilst they aren't the great side they once were, they still finished second in the Premier League last season. Second only to one of the best sides that league has seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once, it gave me great pleasure walking around in a City shirt. Especially after all the Man Utd 'fans' in the office had been begging me for tickets in the build up. Bloody hell yeah. I must have been asked five times by United fans, or been told that they were going just yet to buy a ticket, completely unaware that it was sold out. Then being told we would get battered even though they couldn’t name a single City player. They were nice guys but **** em. If they want to watch football in their Premier League bubble then they will miss out on nights like that. Yes it can be absolute shite some weeks but even if it’s every 30 years or so having a night like that makes it all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man United were a lot better this time last year- fielded a strong side too and Mourinho undoubtedly wanted to win that night. Tickets- remember varied Man Utd colleagues asking for tickets. Decent chaps but 4 at least asked me. To solve their query and perhaps put some business the clubs way I recommended maybe hiring a box, going corporate or similar- no idea if they followed through... Still, couldn't help them on the ticket front and even had I been able to I wouldn't anyway simply because it would have deprived a true City fan of this rare chance- and how we took it!

Garland-sweden Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Magic night, looked at the watch when Bryan scored. To early thinking to myself. Was in a bar here in Sweden. When Smith made 2-1 it was unreal but not. Bryans goal one of the best ever. The pass from Pack and then Bryan prepares with 2-3 short steps before hitting the ball. Wow, magic and I will never forget. That game was the best Ive ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about both assists were superb!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 This is what I posted on 21/12/2017. "Yesterday, I arrived 50 minutes early for a 2pm meet up with a friend at Cafe Nero in Clifton Village. Sitting alone in the corner, looking calmness personified was Lee Johnson. I introduced myself and shook his hand whilst explaining that if I'd known about all the distractions behind the scenes last season, inferring the Tomlin charges and Pemberton, then I'd have been more understanding and appreciative of his efforts. I quickly added how amazing it was that he was producing fantastic results, despite a depleted squad. He didn't know me from Adam, but couldn't have been nicer and told me that 5 under 21s would be on the bench that evening. His wife and daughter then walked in and I wished them all a happy Christmas. What struck me was his composed demeanour which has segued beautifully into the minds of his players, who are mutually unphased by any challenge put before them this season. And for that we are truly blessed. Thank you Lee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North London Red Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I remember Man Utd fans complaining that we were giving them an unfair allocation, especially after we gave Leeds all of the Atyeo for the league game against them a few weeks earlier. The following article appeared in one of the main Man Utd fanzines (sent to me by a friend who is a diehard Man Utd fan and season ticket holder). I think Man Utd had something like 9,000 applications for the game through their away tickets membership scheme - Ashton Gate is a ground they hadn’t visited for the best part of 40 years and their diehard away fans don’t get many new grounds to visit. For all their complaining before the game about the ticket allocation, their fans were generally very gracious in defeat - Red Cafe (one of their main message boards) had loads of posts saying we were deserving winners.

The walk back to the car is just a blur. Ended up getting interviewed for Radio Five Live went I got back home (I knew the researcher on the programme and he asked me to do an interview) Oddly enough got interviewed before the game !

06stanleyj Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Went into the Maccy D's at Longwell Green on the way back to Yate with my boy, just rammed with ecstatic City fans both inside & going through the drive thru. After the birth of my 2 kids & my wedding day this was the best day of my life, I will never forget the tears in my eyes when KS put that ball in the net & cuddling my son & everybody else around me, AMAZING EXPERIENCE !!!

He said `We were walking back to the car and my eight year old son said ``Daddy, this is brilliant, I`m so happy`` and I just burst into tears`. Moments like that night are why we keep the faith.

One Team Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 It was an incredible performance, result and night and up there with Hartlepool and Palace for atmosphere at the Gate. The result though eclipses all of the other games, particularly when you look at that United team. Perhaps not the best team but as players world class. And we beat them. I turned to my mate at the end and said “what the **** just happened?!”! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t celebrate, just stood there thinking “this is on”. Korey’s Goal was always gonna happen in my mind....I jumped around a bit, but it’s Bryan’s goal that gives me goosebumps. Completely agree with your reaction to Bryan’s goal . You’d think I’d learn for the second goal but instead I stood still with my hands on my head whilst everyone around me went mental . The guy behind me asked me to celebrate and started waving my hands around for me . I was still numb . When im having a tough day that two mins of highlights I could watch over and over again . Still gives me goosebumps . Thanks for starting this post - I’ve loved reading about everyone’s recollections and watching back a huge moment in our clubs history .
