Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

+33 GD is insane!

Closest this year is Spurs at +18

We were smashing anyone and everyone who rocked up at Eastlands that year

If memory serves me right, Sunderland we're the only team to take anything away from Manchester that season, and they were on for a 3-1 win until 2 late City goals snatched a point.

Nearly right

We were winning 1-0 and then Sunderland scored twice late on and Nasri equalised very late. He also had a chance for the winner shortly after as well and at the time I thought it was game over for the league that year because it was the game directly after the defeat at Anfield.

Thoughts on Aguero being linked with a multi multi million pound move away?

Cashing in on him would have been an inconceivable notion a year or 2 ago....

Can't see any links for that. Can't see it happening. Hope not anyway.

Ah yeah, was behind the goal for the Nasri goal and then subsequent miss. Wasn't it a howler from the Sunderland keeper? His miss was dreadful, and yeah I was positive that miss had cost us any chance of winning the league. Thankfully, I was proved very wrong

It was during the Agueroooooooo!!! season that we drew 3-3 with Sunderland with a couple of late goals to save our skin. Proved to be crucial in the end 😃😃

The equaliser was a howler yes

We've had some canny games over recent years!!

You are right and I was thinking of the more recent one. Sunderland were the nemesis in both 2011/2012 and 2013/2014. We only dropped home home points in a total of 3 games in those 2 seasons combined and 2 of those games were against Sunderland and also lost the aways 1-0.

you are't wrong     Was it a sequence of 1-0 to sunderland 4 times on the bounce at your place until Aguero went mad last time?

Aye you kept us in the league for 4 years.

The 3-3 in 2012 when we were 3-1 up.

The Desmond 2-2 in 2014 when you were 1-0 up and we went to 2-1 but you should've won.

Think it was NYD last year when you were 2-0, we got it back to Desmond but Fat Frank made it 3-2.

League cup final in 2014. When we were 1-0 up but Yaya decided to unleash his right peg and end our dreams.

When you list them like that it makes you realise there have been loads. Even in the Aguero 4-1 last year Sunderland took the lead as well.

The LC final was a good one. Sunderland were so good in that game before, as you say, YaYa did a YaYa. Nasri's goal was brilliant as well

I'm rooting for Big Sam now anyway

[hhyftrftdr]

Yeah I've always preferred Sunderland to Newcastle. Think the fans are much more down to earth (from the ones I've encountered anyway), and you guys were gracious in defeat after the League Cup final (I live in York so had to share a train home with loads of your lot!). Only been to SOL once, and surprise surprise it was for a 1-0 defeat a few years ago. Think it was during Mancini's final season? Had a few beers in Sunderland afterwards before getting a train, again some good chat with the locals. Beer was bloody cheap as well!

Hope you stay up as there isn't enough northern away games for my liking

Im actually from Newcastle and have lived here for all of my 25 years. And the Newcastle fans are portrayed terribly in the media. We both just want 100% effort and players that are approachable and not prima donnas off the pitch.

Unfortunately I can't see us staying up this year. But I've said that for 4 years now so who knows.

Can't fault effort this year at all. Even under Advocat the players were still I giving 100%, just no quality. The cheap beer isn't quite enough to attract the top players.  Saves Adam Johnson a fair few sheets on a Friday night though.

Oh yeah, I don't think every Newcastle fan is a police horse punching lunatic.

Maybe just 37%

I was staggered there was no stream for the game yesterday and swithching between the radio commentary on Radio Norfolk and Radio Manchester was a throwback to the old days. Felt strange not been able to watch the game.

Seems it was pretty straightforward and good that Aguero is getting back to his best.

Yeah, we settled for Soccer Saturday down the local. A City friend of ours owns a pub and he can sometimes get these foreign broadcasts (we saw City away at Palace in September and that was a 3pm), but yesterday the only stream of it was from Albanian television and he couldn't source it.

Big few weeks coming up; important league games including Everton, Leicester and the spuds at home, 2nd leg against Everton and the tie with Kiev all on the horizon. Games like those could shape our season....put some wins together and we're looking at a serious title tilt, the league cup final and the quarters of the CL. Consistency is gonna be crucial from here on in.

A nice away day in the FA Cup please. Sheffield Wednesday, Hull, Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds would all be agreeable.
