Me and a mate got talking to two blokes the same age after the game and remember them being so pissed off with the way their club was being ran. I can vividly saying look, youve had the shit times but keep the faith itll get better I often think of those two blokes and hope their loving what theyve got now. Lucky buggers.Their takeover always makes me think what if? Maybe the expansion of Manchester airport with the added Emirates flights and new ground swayed Sheikh Mansour and his family to buy City rather than look at a certain club in B6. Good luck to them I say.Man City: Isaksson, Onuoha (Jihai 46), Dunne, Distin, Ball, Hamann (Sinclair 68), Barton, Ireland, Vassell, Samaras, Mpenza.Subs Not Used: Weaver, Dabo, Trabelsi.Man. City 11 from that day. Actually wasn't as bad as I expected pre takeover. Dunne-Distin was arguably the best CB combination outside the top 6 in those days and Hamann, Barton and Ireland were all decent midfielders back then.The less said about the attack the better though...I can't remember Dabo or Trabelsi at all. I know of Mpenza but don't remember him being at City.As for other games, I would be pissed off with that Kane goal being allowed to stand if I were an Arsenal fan.

During the pre season of 2004, Hatem was given a trial period at Arsenal by Arsène Wenger. Seemingly, he impressed the Gunners and a fee between Ajax and the English champions was agreed. With the transfer looking imminent, even Pro Evolution Soccer 4 included Trabelsi for Arsenal. However, due to personal reasons Trabelsi never fully signed with Arsenal and soon returned home to Ajax.
I was in a pub in Northampton yesterday, and got talking to the barman, who was probably in his 20s. He told me he supported Manchester City, and then immediately added - in an almost apologetic tone - that he's supported them since the age of 4.
Finally google calciopoli and you will be enlightened.

I think it was Damon, late of this parish, who said that a sure fire way to wind up any Man City follower was to look at them earnestly and ask who they used to support?
