Yes I think you're right, I was fuming. Europa league group stages?I think it was in Europe?
I remember being absolutely furious!

Both teams have the same amount of injury time though. Its no excuse if on team concedes especially when theres a bit of time wasting in the injury time.5 mins of injury time and they score in the 96th minute, sounds about right.
Vaguely remember but didnt something similar happen vs Madrid away. We got a corner, went over to take it, lined everybody up and the ref just blows the whistle. It was mad.I remember one game the ref let us take a corner in the last second, only to blow straight after the player crossed the ball. Can't remember which game, in the last couple years though
They will could be ahead anywhere from 2-14 points after the derby. I'm predicting it will stay at 8.City over the last few weeks have shown they are beatable. Their character can not be questioned though. Fair play to them.
Next two weekends are massive. If they both go City's way, then it's goodnight Vienna.

Not the first time either. People used to moan when we scored in the 2nd minute of 4 minutes of injury time or "Fergi time"5 mins of injury time and they score in the 96th minute, sounds about right.
Embarassing post im gutted they won again in 96th minute but common really?Whoosh!
Yes very few talk about the horrendous human rights records of their owners because of thrir project at the Etihad. But that doesn't make it okay.
Their brutal oppression of homosexuality and systemic abuse of female migrant domestic workers should not be overlooked just because we allow them ownershio of one of our clubs. Equating mediaeval, barbaric oligarchs with 'class' is an absolute contradiction of terms.' Don't be taken in by the propaganda exercise. They've spent £2billion of their peoples money on a plastic project to whitewash the brutalist reality of their regime. But as westerners who believe in freedom and democracy we must never forget the suffering of those being oppressed by the Etihad club owners at City.
Have to say I was surprised at the time that Ferguson retired that United didn't appoint a DoF, either the man himself or someone else within the club as he was effectively fulfilling that role already such was his status. It was always going to be a difficult transition going from a manager who'd won everything and been in place for 20+ years but I think it would've gone a lot smoother if there was an experienced head in place overseeing the long-term football strategy of the club. It seemed like maybe they didn't want to go that route because they didn't need a DoF when Ferguson was in charge but in hindsight I think it would've definitely been beneficial.It was so obvious they'd storm the league. Anyone with half a brain cell could see that from March onwards.
They went out and signed exactly who they needed, got rid of garbage squad players. People laughed when they spent £50M on Walker, look how bloody good he's been. They've got Bernardo Silva on the bench who would start for us for goodness sake. No point harping on about luck when they score these late goals, it wasn't luck when Fergie was doing it week in week out. Pep's football is just sensational, none of that parking the bus nonsense, I am incredibly jealous and there's nothing wrong with that.
Their heavy investement is really starting to pay off, from top to bottom they are an incredibly well ran team. I really wish we had someone like Txixi Bergistan who'd sit at the top and orchestrate everything that goes on with the squad. Wouldn't surprise me if he's already got Fernandinho and Toure replacements sorted already for next summer.
Remember Chelsea in 04/05 and everyone said they were going to have a blip, but never seemed to have one.
They did have a blip that season and it was during a period they won a lot of games 1-0 earlier in the season. Maybe this is City’s blip, but they’re still pulling out the results.
Uhm, what? That team lost two CL SF to a phantom goal and penalties, went out to the eventual winners after one of their players decided to get sent off in the first leg at home, then went one slip from winning the CL, lost another SF to a stoppage time goal and a dodgy ref, then finally won the CL. All the while, they won another PL title and finished twice runners-up to the best side(or at least most talented) of the PL era...I also remember that that team did not go on to dominate for years, in Europe either and were largely disbanded about three years later. People are getting too worked up about city. Clear favourites this year but there's no risk of prolonged success or dominance with short term manager at helm
Real Madrid away?I remember one game the ref let us take a corner in the last second, only to blow straight after the player crossed the ball. Can't remember which game, in the last couple years though
Not really. The team you're talking about won two titles in a row with sheer dominance. Then played second fiddle to united and by 09 were messing around with scolari as manager. They won the champions league 8 years later after lots of change. They did not develop into a totally dominant team the way it looked like they might while walking to two titles. Same will be said of cityUhm, what?

If it weren't for Cristiano fecking Ronaldo Chelsea win 4-6 PL titles on the bounce and probably grab a CL or two in process as well...
They didn't continue their dominance because 1) Cristiano-Rooney 2) Fergie 3) They sacked Mourinho at the beginning of a season for no reason 4) Bad luckNot really.

Chelsea certainly has an important player that guided them to win many games. it's not our fault that we have Ronaldo. I'm going with that by your logic, United could dominate the champions league from 2007-2011 in a row if it wasn't for a slip and Messi's team, Fergie's United had a two slip during the 2006-07 semi-final and 2009-10 quarter-final vs Bayern.Uhm, what?

The Bayern fans as well, they're hilarious in the gameweek threadsI think the only thing that annoys me more than the media creaming about them at every turn is the amount of Barca fans I have seen on social media adopt City as almost a second team. Considering how much many of them called PSG a petrol club/plastic club during they Neymar saga it's astonishing how much they lick City's arse. The bald cnut's fans really are a cult.
I remember Newcastle having a 12 point lead. I also remembered who finished champions.Remember Chelsea in 04/05 and everyone said they were going to have a blip, but never seemed to have one.

I’ve had people tell me in the past that I really am a cult. At least, that’s what I think they said.I think the only thing that annoys me more than the media creaming about them at every turn is the amount of Barca fans I have seen on social media adopt City as almost a second team.

Empty seats don't matter at this stage. These performances are what is sealing them the future generation of fans. They will have these filled in ten years time with real fans not fake stadium sellouts like they have now.Sterling bending a stoppage time winner into the top corner, mad celebrations, the stuff of champions...
.....in front of a shit ton of empty seats
Didn’t Txiki buy a bunch of dross for City before Guardiola came along?It was so obvious they'd storm the league. Anyone with half a brain cell could see that from March onwards.

Funnily enough, when we tracked Newcastle down, we also had a string of 1-0 wins.I remember Newcastle having a 12 point lead. I also remembered who finished champions.
Im older now. So remember. It's not Christmas yet. The fast dogs run early. Let's be trackers and run them down!
City will win it. But bite their legs! And if they fall pounce.
Didn't United also have a couple of games in hand when Newcastle was 12 points clear in 96?Funnily enough, when we tracked Newcastle down, we also had a string of 1-0 wins.
there were 4 (+2 mins) substitutions, 2 goals (+2 mins) an injury to Cedric (+1 min) in about the 88th min for a couple of min coupled with Soton timewasting for the whole of the second half, considering the goal went in on 95:04 I think if saved that would have been the last kick of the game.Well I for one will want to see the moment luck runs out and how they handle disappointment. Lets be honest, previous game a dubious penalty, deflection goal for the win. Now 5 minutes extra time (from where?) and then scoring the late winner in the 96th minute. This isn't the first time this has happened scoring goals in time added onto added time. Curious to know how long the match would've carried on if Sterling didn't score in the 96th minute.
I don’t recall games in hand tbh, I know Newcastle lost 4 games in like a 5/6 game period which allowed us to catch up and eventually overtake them.Didn't United also have a couple of games in hand when Newcastle was 12 points clear in 96?
Used to know a site that did historical week by week tables but can't find it.
Time wasting the whole second half??? Now I look at this sort of comment and really have to wonder whether City fans know anything at all about football. Why would we be wasting time the whole second half when we had gone behind after 77 seconds?? That's just asinine. Sure, we slowed it down. Sure, we were defensive and tried to hit on the break.there were 4 (+2 mins) substitutions, 2 goals (+2 mins) an injury to Cedric (+1 min) in about the 88th min for a couple of min coupled with Soton timewasting for the whole of the second half, considering the goal went in on 95:04 I think if saved that would have been the last kick of the game.
