I'm a Blue and while our success over the last decade has been beyond belief, and something I wish so many old fans no longer with us could have shared, the late 60s/early 70s will always be my favourite era. I was on the Kippax for this game as a 13 year old and also at OT that same year for our 4-1 win, something I never thought I would see again until our 6-1 surpassed it! The Kippax and Maine Road will always be my spiritual football home. Wonder how many others feel the same?

Hi John, well I'm a Red from Whalley Range, bit younger than you - lived almost exactly half way between Utd and City. Had loads of mates who were/are Blues and for me too, Maine Rd will always be City's spiritual home. Went to dozens of games there; derbies, City games, semi-finals, even a B International. There seemed to be a testimonial every season too in the 70's and 80's! And like you, I enjoyed (United's) Premier League success, but wouldn't swap my days following them in the 70's and 80's for those of the 90's and the noughties. Best of times!

Only 4 of the last 9 games were won and we ended up 4th on goal difference, only 1 point behind Derby who were champions.

@ Keith Spencer, your wrong mate, City should have won the league that season, 6 points clear with only a handful of games left, when it was only 2 points for a win. The signing of Rodney marsh, followed by only 4 wins in the last 9 games cost us the title. We finished 4th, only 1 point behind derby, who won the title. Great 70s footage.
@anthonyquinn60093 жыл бұрын
That's right Wayne. They were actually five points clear and had played a game more than their rivals I think. Even so, they should have won the league that season. There is no doubt that the Marsh signing upset the balance of the side and they lost a game or two that should not have been lost. Of course it was United who were five points clear at the end of 1971. I always recall Malcolm Allison in his Daily Express column predicting that they would fall away in the new year. Malcolm was certainly right about they lost about seven games on the trot in the new year and eventually finished eighth in the table. Malcom was though wrong to sign Marsh at the time he did. He should have waited until the season ended.
@onthekippaxsince753 жыл бұрын
@@anthonyquinn6009 even Marsh himself admits his arrival cost the league title. As Mike Summerbee said a few years later. Wyn Davies was with us then ,a tremendous centre forward who caused all sorts of problems for opposition defences, and was a great foil for Franny, who fed off his knock -ons and flick- ons, most of his 33 goals he scored that way, then the arrival of Marsh changed everything, with all the attacking play going through him, a quick attacking team suddenly became slow and laboured. Marshes signing came at the worse possible time, and certainly was a contributing factor in not winning the title that year.
@anthonyquinn60093 жыл бұрын
@@onthekippaxsince75 Indeed, Marsh himself admitted his arrival cost City the Championship in 1972. It was a bad move by Malcolm Allison buying him when he did. In fairness though, Malcolm did more right than wrong things for City. The sale of Davies early the following season was perhaps equally as controversial. Especially as he was sold to United. However, in his book 'Colours Of My Life' Malcolm states that he had to sell a couple of players who were "mixing it up in the dressing room". He states that he was told of this by Francis Lee. Malcolm would not name the players in his book as "they were both still playing". I cannot help but think that Davies was one of the players he was alluding to.

@Tavy, that's a bit harsh, Franny Lee was a fantastic player, and was a real thorn in the side of united in those days, he always played well against them, maybe that's why you dislike him so much? Tribal loyalties are definitely clouding your judgement. His hatrick in 1970 at the swamp contained no penalties, if we're talking divers, Ashley Young, remember him? How many penalties have the rags had this season? A ridiculous amount, last night's game proves they can't win a football match without being awarded them. Even last night's league cup semi-final, martial was embarrassing. Great City performance, in honour of the late great Colin Bell. RIP Nijinsky
