^became 15th club to win a UEFA competition (Fairs Cup wasn't one)...but that can't be correct as we have no history.

In all honesty, i'm not sure winning a European trophy qualifies a club as having  history, after all every club in the Football League has history of some sort, now if you said "our team has a great history in Europe " that would make more sense, just that it wouldn't apply to our club !

Exactly! Finally some one has realised that I was taking the <deleted> out of all those who say MCFC has no history - we all have history. ????

I do recall the early 70s - and was at Maine Road to see Greavesy's debut goal (and was it Ronnie Boyce's brilliant volley off Corrigans clearance)

Remember it being a miserable cold wet March day.

 

Two weeks earlier I'd been to Wembley for the first time - couldn't get a '69 FA Cup ticket - to see MCFC win the League Cup on a freezing day; lasting memory is freezing my nuts off and ice on the terrace steps making it very tricky underfoot.

 

Got to see the genius Greavesy in this game which is why I remember it well. Greatest English natural goalscorer of all time?

"Manchester City owners to add NINTH club to their portfolio as they buy Belgian second division side Lommel SK... with City Football Group to wipe out their debts of £1.75m".

 

Lommel borders The Netherlands. They were 6th in league 2 when it ended recently.

 

City have been sending lots of youth players to the lowlands. Expect to see lots having a stint at Lommel.

I've heard mrboj is a huge fan of that shirt.

Expand  

I emailed the club and that shirt has now been dumped for a different one.

 

Apparently what shirt makers and clubs do, is release piccies of prototypes out on social media and gauge feedback. Really cheap way of doing the marketing

Well I've held off giving you a dose of reality for a while.... but let's not be under any illusions, apart from Liverpool, this lockdown is next worse for City IMO.

 

For the players and coaching staff, it's extra time on top of the 2 year prison sentence which they are expecting to be served with this ban. Barca are sniffing around Guardiola, KdB has made his intentions clear....

 

And I'm sure that it would warm their heart to know that most City fans (allegedly)  would prefer to win the PL than make their mark in Europe.

If that Joan Laporte bint takes over  Barca she'll have Pep back home. He's had his fill of meat and tater pies.

Heard an interesting tale the other day about how a lot of City employees are off the books because they are employed and paid by the City Football Group. A paid up jolly to New York or Girona in the summer for a week of "coaching" sorts out the paperwork. Creative accounting I think they call it.

I really think you need to concentrate on United mate. The table shows you are in a worse position than us in every way.

Oh well. Lucky escape for RM ???? Would have been nice to have done something in the CL this year, with the PL being out of reach but if it's not safe, so be it.

Things could change mate but at the moment, RM would have to spend 14 days in isolation before the match. There will no doubt be some serious lobbying.
