Winning away to Man City, 12/11/2022

[Jay Bee]

I know we have an On This Day thread but I reckon some things are worth a special mention

Four years ago today arguably our best PL win so far... at least the best away win.

Rico could motor couldnt he ! Josh

 

[NZ Bee]

Forgot about that very last chance, really should have been 1-3!

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Toney…light years ahead of our current centre forward…get him back

 

[kaebess]

That drop of the shoulder by Josh to give himself a space to deliver for Ivan, pure class and magi’s

Ps, 4 years

 

[KenCootesNephew]

I had a fiver on us to win at 16-1 (yes, SIXTEEN !)

 

[nocoat]

Swansea
Arsenal
City

Just one of the all time performances. crying in the office now

Well done. I got about 19 or 20 I think. Paid for the day out!

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this. Not long after, I was on an account wide Teams call (300+ people, the usual b***ocks) and we were asked to put in the chat something that makes us happy. Cue loads of pets, families, holiday snaps etc. and this from me.

I thought we had messed up that chance when Josh had to go back and get the ball.

 

[Paul_T]

One of the happiest days of my life, even made it onto MOTD in the celebrations afterwards which made my mum and dad very proud. Particularly poignant as my dad passed away the next month, so it was one of the last things we shared together.

 

[SQUELCH]

Got a video somewhere of the family celebrating. Will see if I can get it uploaded to here

Hoping this works. See attached video.

I will get round to getting this photo for us for my Bees Wall in the Summerhouse, even to the point of contacting the agency who took it but the memory of seeing it happen in the moment will live with us forever. One of the best ‘limbs’ moment ever experienced.

One of the best ‘limbs’ moment ever experienced.

The ‘limbs of the season’ competition is now closed.

 

[AJ]

Fantastic, my glasses ended up near the players as i was part of the crush down near the advertising boards having been sat some way back in the stand...not entirely sure how i moved so fast but fortunately a steward retrieved them for me. What a day, what a game, what a memory!

I was trying to find pictures of that day but having no joy. Coulda sworn the club posted a few crowd shots around the time but maybe lost in a website upgrade? Or just me not being able to find the right section?

Unfor bloody getable

 

[Plymouth Bee]

That video Emma posted on Twitter came from a much longer video posted by a young Scots City fan. The whole thing is well worth a look and he was clearly very taken by the Bees fans' celebrations.

Loads of videos on the original match day thread IIRC

 

[Simon C]

What a day? Saved a young'un from getting kicked out in the first half for giving a steward some grief, missed Foden's equaliser in the beer queue, stood with nocoat and druggie, celebrated like a loon when IT scored

That Brentford team that year will take some beating as my #1 ever. Had a bit of everything including enough of where we'd come from to appreciate where we were

Here's one, showing the three levels :

Lost my glasses,
With my arms round Ivan’s neck
Fantastic day being a that day.

 

[South Acton Bee]

was at a friend's wedding and managed to watch some of the first half on Sky Go before the service started.

During the service, I was on kids' duty, looking after a 2-year-old and a 4-week-old, so I had to keep popping outside to check the scores.

Just as we got to the "I do" part, my mate, who was sitting in the service, was looking over at me, trying his best not to celebrate because I'd just popped outside and seen us go 2-1 up!

So, when it came to the big moment of the bride and groom kissing, my celebration was actually me pointing at my mate and giving a fist pump for going 2-1 up, while desperately trying not to give away that I was celebrating the football!

Absolute scenes.

Thanks for sharing.

I've posted this before but this is the appropriate thread...

This was Man City's home record that season in all competitions

 

[super J]

I always find it funny that Haaland was the closest player to Toney in the box for the winning goal, how on earth did he end up there?!

Greatest result in our history for me. That City side under Guardiola were something special, won the treble that season yet it was no fluke result, we were the better side. Raya's distribution to Toney was on another level that afternoon.

It is one of my life’s regrets that I didn’t go to this game. Had such a sh*t time at The Etihad in the previous season, I couldn’t bring myself to travel.

Only the second PL game I missed. Will always regret it.

I was never able to go to this because my dad had been very ill for some time and we lost him on the morning of the match.

When I say lost him, I mean that literally, my brother called in the morning to say he'd been taken into hospital overnight but no one knew where! We spent all morning tracking him down, eventually finding him in Stoke Mandeville - he was ok, we took him home and I got back to the car not long after kick off. Driving through Princes Risborough, Ivan Toney scored as I passed my brother so shouted out of the car window to him. Weird looks.

Had a great time in Manchester staying Saturday night. My wife wore a scarf that night as we went out to celebrate, that prompted several comments from Citeh supports. I must say they were mostly along the lines of "you deserved it". The worst bit i think was the 10 minutes that were added on. Was wondering if we could hold on, didnt need to worry we should have won 3-1.
