to you Justin and we've got Cameron Sven was the manager in charge when I went to my first city game so whenever I think of City I think of Sven that's a lovely sentiment and of course a lot of people will be in the same Bo and I I am also in that regard because I remember one of my first game away games being the 81 so that was very fun which we'll certainly get on to towards the end Matthew hi canel is free at last 22 million pound good deal uh yeah um fre good no is free he's saying he is free now he's free from the shackles of Manchester City that's what he's say say it was more the opposite way around yeah we've we've we've done well there to get to me we three of him yeah that's that's exactly what it is oh and right 8 minutes I was sorry I was timing some personally how long it took Oasis to come in the combo and I've just got it 8 minutes do you want to discuss I'm not going eat and park I am I'm gonna try to yeah good luck to you mate with all that I mean I know day before it's a day before my birthday so I have to yeah mustn't have been available that's only thing I could think of I'm the co-op I just don't like eating pack I think he's trouble I think it's going to cause major issues security is crap around there people hiding it it's full of idiots n I'm going to card for Edinburgh yeah we'll see maybe I'm unfortunate and don't get a ticket for the other ones but of course I was incorrect last night I will hold my hands up and say I got it wrong because I thought it was going to be the Definitely Maybe album you did yeah it did I will I'm a man of my word I will hold up and say that I was wrong I sorry but I didn't want to get my hopes up that was what it was I didn't want to get excited think that Oasis was coming back after all these years and it he said it they said if we win four in a row he said if we win four in a row they'd do it but he said if we won the Champions League they would do it yeah they weren't really speaking then though it's just nice that we've gotten back together maybe see him back together at the had at some ways as well and uh yeah I can't wait now hopefully it's not it lives up to the hype and you know it's not like the storm roses reunion which let's get take you first yeah yeah how much you think they're going to be around I'm going to guess anywhere from like 100 to 140 quid I've heard they they starting at 80 to 90 and then going up from there is what I heard that's not too bad to be fair that's that's been offered three tickets already by someone I know no for wembler 700 pound can you pass me their deails I'm not well see I'm I'm away for some of them I'm away for a lot of the Manchester ones so it's actually quite decent because I want to I said I won't touch Ian Park I've had a bad experience in Ian Park I can't say I've been to to be honest it's just full of idiots and there's trouble is it's a public park and it's so hard to try and Ground Control everyone in a park um yeah potentially the best Tuesday ever Canelo has gone now to Saudi Arabia as well I'm just excited man the Oasis is back the music that we all grew up on oh well I did anyway and you know it's it's I never thought in my lifetime I would say it let's let's just be honest there I didn't think we would ever see Oasis coming back into the Glory Days of the best British band there is see I've seen them twice don't rub it in saw them at Main Road in 96 well I saw Oasis and Bon Joba when they both did Main Road the you know the Super Sonic tour and then did thead one which do you ever remember I was there the night do you remember don't he got filmed for the DVD I was on I was in the MOs pit anyone who knows what the MOs pit is you know what it is obviously you get there four hours early now does anyone remember the barer break him Li him come on and everyone just went if anyone's been in a mosit for Oasis they just tile wave to the front and everyone got crushed it was a young girl who got injured Sadler and they brought the barrier and leam basically can I swear on yeah of course can his exact words were get [ __ ] back and be a while we're not starting and he literally held the console for about 15 minutes oh what's going on but it was amazing because they finished with rock and roll star I'm listening to rock and roll star live in the etad with the lights and the lasers were just unreal you love to see it I'm I'm looking forward to it I'm trying going to try my best at 9:00 on Saturday morning and uh you'll certainly see my uh rage on soci social media if I do not get a ticket because I am not going through secondhand sites to try and recover one but Oasis is back Manchester City at top of the league canelo's gone gan's come home sounds like a perfect start to the week for me um we've got wow a perfect turn to the week I know we've got a our first ever Super Chat in the building mcfc thank you ever so much for that that means the world um that wow um yeah uh I don't know what to say really I'm not used to getting these um hello Luke hello Martin did you see what Tom me tweeted any news on a signing on your end Tom me's teasing now Tomy is teasing um yeah it's def def itely uh interested in what he has put and we will wait and see I don't know go on maybe think bigger maybe start thinking bigger than kyogo Tony no Tony's Chelsea bound anyone on Tony's C Evan Ferguson I got that name the same day as I got the G again news see I don't know if anyone in the chat is it comes in my spaces I did see I like to do this because I don't put stuff on Twitter so what I like to do is when I do with spaces I just very subtly all on streams Chuck a name and see if anyone's noticed now I chucked Ferguson in last week and no one noticed it so I was quite pleased with that one but Evan Ferguson so much been on the list for a while I've also been told that K Calis is also on it yeah I I don't know the one I'm trying to figure out is who the H Mendes client is I don't know who the H Mendes client is there's a lot so SL if you're trying to guess um but we'll wait and see good won't Sterling and we need I need to end that right away Raheem Sterling he's not coming back to Manchester City Football Club no I think that's United he's United bound which do you think it ruins his legacy I do I think it ruins his career I don't understand what United are doing if they're trying to do this Sano St I mean how many Wingers do Chelsea need yeah can if you're Co Palmer genuine question if you're Co Palmer yeah you've gone to Chelsea you had an absolute amazing first season yeah and then the following summer Pedro nedro Neto comes in and a potential of Jayden Sancho I think I think Cole Palmer first name cole Palmer's the first name on that list though let's be honest no and he may be but you know what it wouldn't surprise me if Cole Palmer gets shafted in about a year you know why it's homegrown profit well ped 40 million their profit but you know what I mean I just feel I just feel yeah I just I can see p being shafted at some point well we'll wait and see it's definitely an interesting conversation to have next year um and yeah is it's one of those if it happens it happens if he if he goes toel I don't get it London by I know but I don't I don't get Chelsea's plan here no one gets Chelsea's plan I don't even think they know themselves nam I understand when we got Sancho was it QPR we got him from or was that Sterling was it qier or Watford no was Sano from it was Sancho I think Sancho and Sterling was from Liverpool wasn't it because Liverpool no Sterling was originally QPR oh Sterling was originally QPR yes then then he went I'm trying to think wasn't Sancho originally up it was it was it was it one of the London ones anyway ditch I don't know I just find it does it ruin his legacy no because I think Sterling was it Watford thank you I knew it was knew it was Watford or QPR I couldn't tell which one it was the the thing Raheem stal was City f is m m you love him I think he deserves more respect than what he's given do I think he left the club in a good way no but I think I I don't think sterling sterling to me doesn't seem sentimental you look at the way he left Liverpool it wasn't great it wasn't the best exit out of Liverpool to was if you remember it refused to sign his deal wouldn't sign a new contract and it became a bidding war I'm I'm GNA be straight with you I think Sterling's just the guy who's in it get as much money as you can get trophies get out I don't think he's got an attachment to a club yeah I I think it's definitely a case of we we knew that from when he left City Sterling has no loyalty to any Club Sterling is there to do a job get paid and do the best he can and that's it I don't think there's uh there's much more than that to be honest yeah people asking about would would yeah it doesn't matter how much clubs want we've got a city have got money they've got a [ __ ] ton of money they can roll around if they wanted to don't worry about any fees if City feel the Fe is right they will go yeah but don't ever worry about how we spent listen we've not touched anything from this summer well there still net value of around 150 that's after I don't think I think I had a look in you know the top transfer Spenders of this window and I think we're like 14 15 way down the clubs have spent big this summer um but who knows maybe we can get a mar signing just to piss everyone off and uh I always say opportunities Arise at the end of a window when you don't expect Rino now that was one no thanks well that was one well going back to them times we are going to start oh here we go here we go my favorite I love this we are going to look at the 2007 2008 season it was a year where we moaned about Stewart pace is abysmal home record and not scoring a goal in 2007 at home or winning it game Sorry it was boring as why why why you doing this to why you because put David James up top when you have John Mackin on the bench we lose the game to Middlesboro to get into Europe not long before and Robby Fowler missed the penalty Robbie Fowler missed the penalty we just it it was an absolute hell can you think of anything else that was so weird that day can you think of anything that was very weird and we've never done it since let's see because this is the kind of thing sorry I am a bit of a weirdo when it comes to Memories go on go on inform me because I'm I could be a all mate to be honest M the only time we've ever played Omen in awake yet ah yes yes no yeah that is yeah remember it I've never thought of that yeah the re Thomas well dark blue Blacky sort of color yeah yeah yeah that was pierce was an absolute no it wasn't a rabbit it was a horse it was his daughter's little good luck charm of the horse yes was it a horse's foot or something like ho no it was no it was a horse it wasn't just a very small horse or pony pony just before we go in this is my cousin's partner um well husband now uh if I've not mentioned it before um he is an Arsenal fan but he's saying hello Luke from Alfie and olle letting the kids watch before bedtime they one of them wants to become a YouTuber now now he's watched the stream Lang I do apologize on my language then he's just as bad as us so don't worry but if it's near your bedtime Alfie and OE get to bed soon but thank you very much for watching weird though that season when it we went from Bernardo kada to georia samas yes the forel and Andy coold and we couldn't score the D gold yeah and then uh and then we made a few more signings so obviously F fox in shatra um was he Tai was he Tai or Philippine he was the Tha prime minister yeah and some very very suspect things went on years later but of course oh love time it was very very crazy yeah like beyond belief saying there 10 goals in the league at home all season on the PA that is mad that is mad you know what was mad and and I just want to give a little bit of background to how bad we were at that point the reason the Takeover happened is because we were on the point of going out of business we were going into administration because the cor Bank of called all the loans in City you City basically were owned by JD Sports in an Ence John W David Mak um they were the guys who found who were running the club at the time and we did a lot of business with the court Bank on balloon Street and basically we basically maxed out our overdraft maxed out everything we had to sell right Phillips if you remember to Chelsea for 21 million yeah just to stay afloat um had no nothing to spend we were still paying off the Robbie Fowler situation with his wages and the fee um David Bernstein had left due to that W had come in done a magnificent job keeping us a float and then taxing came in which was Stefan Balon at the time was on our board was the financial advisor I think he was the actual Chief was he the chief executive at the time what was he at the time I can't remember Stephan boson was on our board at this point yeah because he did he facilitated the taxing Shinra take over um yeah and then it was very late in the window if you remember very very late three weeks before the start of the Season wasn't it that sang came in um and faty yeah uh of course we were all very excited I remember obviously Sven coming in just had previously been England manager had a lot of offers from clubs in Europe as well not just Manchester City from watching the documentary and I don't think anyone could quite believe that he' come to be honest I couldn't back then as a kid just knowing him from the England manager job to then turning up at Manchester City one day I was a bit shocked um it wasn't something I was expecting especially with Stewart Pierce previous um I show me age now I was I was 27 at the time you were what I am today nearly I'm still only 26 but it was bad it was and of course it came in it made four signings um Valerie banov that was in one day that was in one day Rolando bian Javier gido and vedan shaa shaa went on to have a very good career in the Premier League um not just for Manchester City but also for Spurs um not many people seem to remember that I don't think either um but yeah four signings um Valerie bov for me looked looking back um in looked like a very very good player but unfortunately injuries completely ruined was he sign from Fiorentina as I remember no I think he went go to I know he did his Cruise [ __ ] in the derby two Gam in which that was it was the end of him yeah sadly it was and he he you know he excited us at times you know it looked like a very very good player we had on our hands um but yeah I'm just looking here he came from Palmer um pal oh no yeah he did come from Fiorentina sorry and then he went to Palmer I I remember as buying we bought mtin we bought 10 eight 10 players Martin Petro Alano Alano jelson Fernandez the young Swiss midfielder he's still playing to this day I think as well you know we only bought him at 18 he was a b when we I think he's still playing we bought harier gido as you said Charlie charuca we bought orando biane for 8.8 million from some Italian Club soon soon reana want to say I think yeah it was a bit of a Mad Season .8 million there was a lot there was a lot it was basically a whole new team that we bought oh I'm sure we bought Casper schmeichel yes or was he already there Joe har was it for, I think P bought him just before from shwb yeah um benjani later on and oh yeah har redn telling to get to get to the airport and hurry up and uh you know we missed three flights already and he said I didn't want to leave well thankfully he left as we'll discuss later on but yeah it was a bit of a Mad summer um a lot came in a lot of money was spent for us anyway um you know a club that languishes in mid-table um so yeah it was it was it was a crazy summer now looking at the season as a whole um I do have some little little bits for us to have a look at Martin um if you would if you know we can take a look so the season stats these are all curtesy of Stat City as well so if you haven't checked them out I will add their Link in the description um do some amazing content for all us blues um to check out uh so we had 45 matches we won 19 drawn 11 and lost 15 which if you give us them stats now we'd say that's a bad season but this was a very very good season for us um we ended ninth in the Premier League um you know looking at some of them teams you know they'd like this form back the likes of Everton Blackburn Rover and the bsouth um some may not like to see where they are today um the likes of uh Fulham and Newcastle but and Spurs even an 11th but yeah looking at that season as a whole that was a good season for us Martin don't you think think it was season ProMed I think it was also the first season we finished in the top 10 I believe in the top half well for a while we we did finish I'm sure we finishing the top on Keegan as well um is all we've played since Keegan to be fair yeah it was there was a over the club due to pace and I don't want to speak Hill of people who but Pace had Su the life out of the team the Takeover it happened we were we were promised Millions upon Millions at the time it wasn't billionaires it was millionaires multi-millionaires rather than billionaires um he came in and he promised the world obviously you'll go into it later on what eventually happened and killed it all um but yeah there was all by the way we've got to talk about the emergency obiously Michael Johnson as well yeah I was just to get oners because he came onto this scene and he was what what Yaya T became we thought he was going to be my dad's words were was as close to Colin Bell going to get with him I watch the documentary back today and I don't well I do know happened uh and I'm not going to go into it because I don't want to do that on players um sadly the demons the Demons of football got a hold if there the best way I could put it is if there's ever the best example of too much too soon yeah he was it wasted potential that's so that's so sad to say there's too much too soon and I think looking back I think because of the situation we were in as a fan base I think we went a little bit over the top with him and it went to our heads it went to his head it went to the club's head and that injury killed him he never came back from it and yeah it was yeah it's just it's a sad story when you look at what's eventually happened to him yeah it was it was tough and of course um it is what it is and you know hopefully now he's you know on the men and you know he's doing something with his life I think the last time I heard of him he had an estate agents with it in Manchester or somewhere nearby um so you know whatever he's doing it's such a shame that a player of his caliber could never reach the potential because that could have been one of our the first ever Superstars for the club he PHS Colin Bell I'm going to be straight with you luk I think he could have been bigger than than Phil Fen had he been used way I'm gonna be honest with you pep would never have used him in the way Spen used him well I mean he did that make sense I mean Capello was a big fan of him constantly coming to watch I don't think he ever got an England call up um I could be wrong I can't really remember to be honest but there was always a lot of people watching him and I think other clubs were watching him as well and like we said even Sven said it in the documentary he signed in for Leicester and he just wasn't the same player unfortunately it all said I think I think there was too much pressure put on him at too much age far too much pressure we had a lot of young exciting players you know we had Steven Island back then you know um he was another exciting one we had a lot of kind of different Dynamics in that Squad back then when you had the likes of Richard dun the old experienced head and then you had some exciting youngsters the likes of Michael Johnson Steven I share you funny Steven Island story from That season it's not about his grandmother is it that he said died three or four times that that was that that was the exact same season yeah I remember that ringing he kept no s you you not he knew he absolutely knew that his grandma hadn't died and his Grand I think one of the grandmother had already died I've never known a player of about 15 grandmothers I mean remember I know how we got caught Sven sent flowers the club sent flowers to the family and they went what you on about and I think the family were a bit confused on why you sending me flowers I'm not dead I mean I'm sure so can't me BB M or someone in the comments I'm sure it's weent flowers and he got caught that way he it's just the gust of him to even try and attempt it but of course this season just it just brought excitement man so then brought something back to the club that we hadn't seen in a good few seasons since Keegan we were playing football we were enjoying ourselves and we were I mean at one point we were top of the league and we were thinking what's going on a few games in you know we had we had I was at the West Ham game that's what I was just about to get on to that first game of West Ham away at up Park where the hope is there it's a new season it's a new manager we didn't know what to expect and then the next thing you know Rolando bian puts us one n up and then Dar was it Darius Vel who got the set no it wasn't was it was it Vel got the second yeah yeah no no it wasn't it was giovan Giovani sorry and he came up with a lot of clutch goals that season um which we'll get on to in the next slide but NE Manu has run down the right and then see him again with his um oh what what did Chris Kamar say with his oh my God something leg telescopic leg that was it when he extended his leg out to pass it and it was his telescop basically did a rabona did a rabona Down Wing pulled it back turn C turn totally yeah C turn totally lost control of the ball and basically stuck his leg out as much as he try Stretch Armstrong to try and tow pooke it into J his J was right was right in front of us as well at the way end because it was a baking up day I got sunburn I had hair back then I wasn't bold um Martin with hair love to see that yeah I have hair but yeah it was a great start I remember Al Alano all we talked about on the coach back was Alano yeah I think Sven gave him the freedom to go and play as well didn't ask him to do a job particularly just let him go out and play and I think even Alano attributes his kind of success in the Premier League short Liv but success um down to the ability that Sven just let him go out and play didn't ask him to do much else and that was a good thing about Sven Sven sometimes just let players do what they needed to do and you know unfortunately there was sometimes systems like in England with the golden generation he tried to shoe horn players in but thankfully at city um and yeah beyond belief we did stay in the top four for quite quite a while I think until was it top six until New Year and then we top we were top for the first four games because I remember the Derby game first one at home that was remember Sven coming out you'd honestly thought Pelle had walked out on the pitch there was that emotion behind him and it was like you said earlier it was more of the pinch yourself because we couldn't believe at the time that spango and Erikson former Lazio manager sorian was it Sor but former England manager because if you remember in our minds that was the second England manager in a row we had Keegan that game was that oh he's leaving England G to full coming to was and then sweno and Erikson and that was like the first proper Stella name in a while after Keegan and I think it was the pinch myself moment yeah and then we we beat them one nil obviously with the goal which was just ex Exquisite from M that was when Michael Johnson put himself on the map with the outside of the foot against Derby at home yeah to the nor stand yeah that was that was if anyone plays football you will realize how hard that is to do with that kind of power you can do it with a lot of finesse but not power um but um Dash that was the season after um that was the 2008 2009 season under mugh um but we definitely will be doing a stream reliving that one because that will be very very interesting and apparently when I was not talking about the 11:00 stream oh you pluging your stream here Martin are you doing no no no no about when I was outside the at 11: pm on that day oh right oh the H oh the uh dildo incident yes the uh yeah the one that I got in trouble for on lb you brought it up I didn't B all brought you did no h brought it up actually there was an the everan report of the it was me it was me people have yeah no that's that's the streaming itself because me my daughter and my son were literally cuz I just way off top of game but I was watching Sky Sports News as you do on that day came through about a takeover it came through that another club coming for um Rino and I didn't know at the time I didn't have any sources of anything and it was just get down and I just said to me son should we go and when I got to we parked up at the at the city of Manchester at the time and yeah all hell broke loose it was I've never seen partying in the street than what I saw that night and Rabino thought he was uh Rabino thought he was signing for Chelsea then man united didn't have a clue who man city was and that's what the whole fun was about because that guy unfortunately is currently in prison now I think he got charged this year for I won't say what the crime was because it's disgusting but I do wish we had signed him oh it was the biggest mistake we should have signed somebody else for that money we could have signed a lot better that was a present that was a present to the fans and that was Shake Mano saying I'm here and of [Laughter] course oh Steve Martin ordered a 12 inch but got the wrong type whatever you're into Martin but whatever you're into you don't need to tell me but um but yeah obviously it was a great season 20072 2008 for us um in no particular reason because we did it twice the double over United a league win Home and Away against them lot with the iconic benjani celeb and an absolute screamer from Giovani what do you think this no it wasn't the Turning of the tide but do you think it was that statement of we're here now I know we hadn't been taken over yet but this was some statement from the club we hadn't beat him at Old Trafford since 1974 and we hadn't done the double over him since 1970 we' been waiting a long time Martin I'm not can you still hear me yeah yeah yeah I'm not it was weird because I remember the da and I remember the the atmos the best by the way best atmosphere ofab have ever been in that one which one the home away the home and the away one um but it was at the time as a club we were still in that let's just beat United twice we were still in that M we were in that as long as we beat them it didn't matter that was our trophy back then I know that and because that's their trophy now yeah exactly that's what I mean we we were very different back then it was a very different club with a very different mentality with a very different mindset we were everything that United were not and we were proud of that one back then and I just remember M Richards um everyone just being amazing Richard done as well the the double tackle on TZ yeah the Richard dun and yeah it was it was a great day a lifelong City fan as well you know getting on the pitch to beat United of course you know it was I see beyond belief does make a good point but I don't believe it they were distracted with the Munich commemoration we blindsided them at the swamp I think we were you know there was a lot of concern that City fans weren't going to behave before the game I don't know if you remember that obviously you know but I think Sven brought a kind of class for us to go there and just you know be exemplary obviously guests you know commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster you know we behaved exemplary and as a result we got a good result on the pitch in my opinion I think yes yeah we did definitely um think I don't think they were blindsided I think they you know they're a side that under Fergie wouldn't have got blindsided by something of this can I Stray with you they were in the attitude of we can just do you know the attitude when you say just turn up and you beat them like he used to do with Spurs all the time where he'd walk in the changing room and go for [ __ ] sake Lads it's Spurs and disappear yeah yeah you know that's how United treated us that day they thought we were just turn up smashing yeah but it was weird because I mean we didn't play United till February I mean there was a lot that had happened see I we remember being I went to the first defeat when we were I'm sure it was Arsenal way I [Music] remember um sure it was sure the first defeat was arsenal we beat West Ham we beat Derby we beat United and I'm sure we went to Arsenal and that was the first one could we because at that time every time we played arsenal we got wallets four five sixes we got good hidings against Arsenal at that point and I'm sure we only got beat one nil sure we only got beat one nil and we sort of came away of well we didn't disgrace ourselves and that was the big thing from that that game I remember coming away we didn't gra ourselves but I remember this season of not being if you actually look back at it Luke I don't know if you remember it it was never a massive goal Fest we were one of the lowest goal scorers in the league well you look at the goal difference there our goal difference was minus eight you know 454 53 against so you look a lot of our wins one yeah yeah it was by the by goal we were winning very rarely we beat anyone three and four on the span it was all about just get the job yeah it was get the job done I mean I'll be honest with biane was a failure after that opening goal against West Ham you never saw him again yeah but bian just failed um it was probably the only one out of the Spen signings that I'm probably gonna say majorly floped B out of his control bosov could do nothing about M Petro had a great season I remember the game against Bolton where he turned it on do you remember the Bolton game he absolutely ripped him he he was a proper Winger was Martin Petro he was just get the ball run cross with his famous short sleeves in the rebot glov oh he was he was the Bulgarian wizard for me I loved Martin Petra he was I think he goes very underrated in City well it tell you some mate he was part of the vent company testimonial which tells you where City actually rank him yeah he was he was incredible and you know it's nice to look back on these players but obviously that second Derby game um just kind of the one at the Old Trafford um with the Munich air disaster looking back at them goals it didn't seem like Darius wanted to score the first one um because he puted the ball wide I think the keeper Palms it back into his Steven Island missed it first it's saved Darius Vel shoots the keeper doesn't realize he's going wide Palms it back in and eventually finishes it puts us one n up and then benjani with the iconic celebration a ball in from Martin Petro that's why I was segue into this um his left foot swung it in benjani gets the flick on and we're two nil up and he does the I won't dance but I'll do the icon IC celebration he's like this this this and this and he didn't want to be there no he didn't so if anyone doesn't know remember that was a deadline day signing yes and it it was 11 I'm sure that was in 11:45 p.m. that was it was a major late it an hour before the deadline no it didn't get announced till after the deadline we weren't sure whether the deal had even gone through I seem to remember of were still do you know them deals that you don't know have gone through until after the deadline yeah it was one of them deals but it was also a case so if anyone's not lived if anyone's living under a rock and does not listen to Harry redn transfer stories go and listen to him because not just the city related ones but the ones like regarding for Paulo futre um which is very very funny you know he's got all sorts oh he's near signed edin Hazard and stuff like that for Spurs but the one with benjani benjani was an average Striker he wasn't world class he wasn't League two standard he was just an average Premier League Striker and he got a phone call saying City he want to buy benjani for 9 million pounds Harry redn eyes little apparently to the point where he's got to go and speak to benjani and say you're going on a plane to Manchester we' Soldier 9 million pound it helps the club a lot and so on now when Harry rnap gets to the airport after he sent him benjani has missed several flights and he's saying I do not want to leave I don't want to leave you Boss I like Portsmouth I like you but red naap is pushing him out the door as far as he possibly can to the point where he then makes sure he gets on the last flight but all he forgiven as soon as he SC this goal against Man United and I think I actually seen him at um Wembley for the FA Cup game the loss to man united he was actually at Wembley that day which was mad he's Bal now he doesn't have the long dreadlock but yeah he was he was a character let's just say I think he he enjoyed himself yeah but after that he didn't didn't really do much did he no um Ben Jani was a win one we bought we bought Ben Jan and we also bought um the guy on L what was it called Belgian lad scored at Newcastle and scored at Fulham oh my God why is his name going out my head my mind's gone blank come on beond Bel you can help us with this one or what the frig was it called was it Emil and P no yeah Emil and Penza thank you was it right there we go yeah yeah that was another Kiki mampa and everyone as well yeah lot a lot of them were the season before though I think a Penza was brought in the season before he did get used a bit on the SP but I remember there was a few where because it was the first time we had the um we had the very iconic that we had that purple strip kit we had the white with the blue sash yeah um and we had the blue one which I didn't I didn't like the own the own kit on SP I'll be honest with you it wasn't it was dead short if you remember yeah I remember the best best kit under seven was the uh I remember the um white one was it the away with the little Sash on the shoulder yeah I love that kit I'd love to try and find him now but the size I am I think I would have to be paying a fortune for him I think I looked I think the only time I remember questioning them was we got was it Chelsea we got slapped or was it out where was it we got slapped home 31 to Arsenal no we got slapped away somewhere I'll have a look I'm sure it's Chelsea and I think we got slap five or six we got absolutely pasted yeah it was a way to Chelsea think here now um so yeah it was it was Chelsea Chelsea beat his homeing away because I remember when because I always look back when when was that turning point and I'll be honest you I think taxing I think with his with with his investment I think he thought it come in I don't think it was Europe I think he was aiming for going for the title I think he thought you remember taxing he was a bit of a bit of a top bow about then he thought he could come in whack a load of money down because I remember going to the um do you remember that the GMX at the time you call the gmax then where where the introduced man and brought all the signings out on stage I was there that night with my dad oh yes I remember tax saying we've got big big plans and there was a real well it turns out wasn't M either let's be honest because there was some DOD well I think that's what he remember he was at every game and then round about Christmas taxing stopped coming all of a sudden I don't think he the country was he and that was what was going on his assets got frozen he got told and I think I think thenen was sacked a lot earlier than people realize well if you watch the documentary back he knew at Liverpool away the game before people already knew that he was gone because I why we all save Sven I think at the time taxing you he he had to sell because I believe that they were already working on a deal behind the scenes I know the deal got done very late with shap man saw but I think they were thinking wearing the wearing Mage because I again we were in major problems at that point I think by about April time there was rumors out of City need to do some or we're going bye-bye we were seriously owing money all over the shop because taxing wasn't paying because I remember we owed I think we still owed about 50 million quid by the time taxing had left because he hadn't paid he had kept up with the installments so we still ow money on bian we still ow money on Milano there there was major problems and there was cracks evolving from about March April time I remember that and there was rumors going down of we're in trouble here we're in majorly trouble we don't know who we've sold yeah and of course no one back then did you know you didn't have your um you know owners check or your due diligence as much as you do these days if we did we probably wouldn't have had him in the club no you all you have to show was a was a bank statement and also your kind of assets and things like that yeah maybe St confirm more that but no I believe there wasn't there wasn't any um what do they call due diligence there wasn't any of that back then it was you came in but but despite all that we didn't have a leaky roof while we didn't need have a [ __ ] owner so we didn't near we nearly didn't have a club we nearly didn't have a club at the end but after all the glory of Sven helping us do the double we rode our luck and as we discussed there the time was sadly coming to an end save Sven now this all started going around at Liverpool away we were desperate to try and keep him and then obviously several things come out before the game away at Middlesboro that was my first experience of away games very traumatizing for a 10-year-old child not going to lie or a nine-year-old child it was tough it's something I get reminded of every day because I live in the area it was tough do you think the players struck do you think they went on strike I was just about to go into this cuz this quote here on Paramount Plus's documentary of Erikson two days before done the captain came into my office and said we will not play that game as a protest against Sinatra I said that you know we have to go and we have to play Manchester City then went on to lose that game 81 because nobody wanted to play the fixture in the first place of course Richard dun got sent off we were all hoping and praying that we'd get to Europe via Financial fair play that didn't happen because of that red card I think it did no it did actually didn't it it still we still got enough points to get through to financial uh not Financial Fair Play Jesus we've got 115 charges of those um fair play rules I think we that was we got to you season M us came in and we were in we were in the U yeah that classic game against Hamburg but that's another time for another day um but yes safe Sven we all tried our best to keep him we all wanted him to stay and then that game at middles happened I think he already knew he was sacked oh he knew 1,000% he knew it just seemed whatever Bor shot on target went in I mean they scored some screamers with Downing Adam Johnson the less you say about him the better um and Fabian rocken back's 40 yard free kick that went top corner I mean there was some good goals in there but one of the biggest Premier League that's what I was just about to say one of the biggest Premier League flops who was bought for 12 million pound even got a hatrick that day guy we nearly signed we were after him yeah from herin ve he was from yeah because guess who his striking partner was who we B who oh Samaras yeah the Greek goddess we were gonna buy both and uh yeah it it looking back at it of course I got absolutely tortured around living in Te side which is completely fine because looking back in hindsight look where we are now we're winning trebles they're struggling in the Premier uh the championship but that was a tough day that was a day it was a tough day but it was UN this is what I mean I I never get triggered on the only the eight1 because I know what was going on behind the scenes I know what was I knew we were the players were being defined yeah because I was straight with now Richard got sent off on purpose Rich yeah Richard went balls to you I'm going we were down to 10 men you know if for some weird reason we were playing Michael Ball I don't mean the singer singer might have done a better job with all due respect right in front of you I mean Jesus just you gotta remind me of him that's fullback we ever signed Jesus the starting line of that day was Isaacson sunji High shaa done Paul Island Fernandez Petrov gido Vel and Ben jany none of them wanted to play for that man not Sven but faxing Sven was loved Sven was absolutely loved by that football club and by that players and that day was a defiant slap in the face to tax and and get out of our club we don't want you you've ruined it and sadly we didn't know at the time Fuller that there's more at play than M the ey yeah it was it and then of course it all came out that fats in Shinra wasn't as honest as he first seemed shall we say you remember the talk of his was it his daughter was going to take over yeah I think his daughter's now the prime minister of Thailand see this would have been a great sh to St Bon he would been to tell us the juicy details behind this he would have but I don't think I'm big enough for Stefan to listen to I'm truthfully honest no but serious I think tax did taxon end up in prison um I'm trying to look now um because I'm sure taxing was one of the main reasons why they had to do um fit and proper owners tests sh tax was one of the very first people that made that eight days ago faxing to receive certificate of Innocence following his release under Royal pardon he was sentenced to eight years in prison Money Talks Money Talks H in a minute that's like Donald Trump becoming the prime minister of America again sorry the president and pardoning himself out of his own bloody issues it is it is and his daughter is also Prim I knew his daughter was involved in it and you money talks but of course he left in a cloud of controversy seven was no longer manag and the rest is history can I ask a question go on do you think it bothered him by the end you remember him when he went to Leicester he completely flopped no and he was never the same again do you think do you think the way things ended at City really affected him more than he believed no no I think his batshit crazy decision to go to knots County didn't help no yeah I agree with that I think that's partly a big reason of it but you never know he maybe just was coming to you know as most managers do coming to the end of their kind of tenure and you know success he say you know he's been around I remember Casper shich I remember Casper shamichael going everywhere he went everywhere count for four games everywhere yeah and then stayed at Leicester for a very very long time I never met him and I'm I'm you know it's an awful way to go out I in caner it is obviously it wasn't it wasn't a it wasn't a prolonged one and by that I mean he didn't have to sit for years with it and years he didn't Suffer Well we don't know if he didn't suffer or not but you know you know what I mean it was you know some people cancer and the suffering years with it it was quite a an aggressive form it seemed he battled till the end he was a real hero and a warrior and you know I'd just like to say he wasn't just a great football manager from some of the stories that I've read about him he was a great person as well and that's what a lot of people can take away from this stream that yes he gave us a success in the hope that potentially for me if that season didn't happen we probably wouldn't be where we are today in my opinion so we have a lot to thank him for for the hope for the dreams that we now are reaping the rewards of but also just being in the presence and having a manager who was also a great man he was a great person so many stories of him being welcoming and of course the story that I put at the start you know speaking to the older gentleman who said don't care about what the Press say we don't want Europe just beat United twice and he did he lived up to his word and unfortunately the great man is no longer with us he passed away yesterday at the age of 76 had a good life that's a very long time these days and uh yeah I mean there's not much else to say mtin is there he no it's a sad loss to football it's a sad loss to football really not just a Manchester City Football but I'm glad he got his last dream where he got to manage at anfield I know yeah was big Lio wasn't he time from a football point of view when he did it but he managed to get it done and it was I would have loved to have had him back at the atad yeah and there was there was talk of it there was a plan for it but he was too ill apparently to to come uh fortunate I'm sure we'll have a good you know once we're back at brenford at home I'm sure there's going to be a good I'm sure at brenford there'll be something they'll do something for brenford if 1894 or someone someone will do I'm sure the club will do a minute Applause or silence because he is part of the city family I don't care if you only been there six months to a year you're still part of the city family well like I said he gave us hope Martin I don't know if you agree but he gave us that hope of what we he gave us light he gave us he gave us a [ __ ] of light in a dark time yeah and that was something and let's be straight as much as we all moan about taxing and and you know some didn't weren't keen on spent it wasn't for those people we're not where we are now because this is that was the Catalyst for the Abu Dhabi United group takeover that was the Catalyst because people want to call tax in a lot and I get it you can do but taxim was the guy who went out and got these guys along alongside you know he went and did it they went and facilitated it when they could have gone to B they could have gone to Everton could have gone to Newcastle they could have gone wherever we weren't the only party in town for the shap mar for Abu dhab yeah like Beyond Bel says we're still on the rid Sven started so thank you for that Sven and that's the way I think we're going to look on it Sven Sven started this Sven gave us and this why I don't fully kill I don't fully kill mat either mat helped along the way of this well it's like I said to my who's a new Castle fan Sean who sometimes comes in the Stream when you get taken over you got have your M you've got to have your M it's a process there's too many fans Luke that think you get taken over and within a year the league just lands on your doorstep people forget it took Manchester City four years took us three years to get a cup took us four years to get to a title we'd have been happy with that FA Cup like big St said on the lad Bible I would have snapped your hand off for an FA Cup title in my lifetime because we were never getting close to one and no and you know when you think about the absolute GFF and I'm going to go back to before you were probably born I remember the swes and the Francis Lee stuff and things can change because we we got 12 we've like I said we're the only Club as a fan base who can protest the chairman out protest for Franny Lee to come in and 18 months later be protesting for the exact guy we protested in and we're at the front protesting that he gets out I do feel Lally I'm going to be straight with you we are literally The Original Soul poer club we were cuz we went through it all we went through we were so close to buckets outside the bloody main road we were close to buckets outside the at we got screwed on the stadium deal originally because of the Cel yeah we weren't allowed to build anything that's why it looked like an NCP car par for 5 to 10 years cuz we couldn't do anything with it we couldn't do a Dicky bird we couldn't even advertise outside it if you remember yeah without without Manchester Council having a Soo in it I remember I remember right at the start as well see still seeing the remnant of the Athletics track for a little while yeah and it was it was a mess and wasn't done the right way and it was it was typical sitter it was typical sitter and this is why I've always said this is so mad but this is why I cannot [ __ ] a moan when we when we lose or we draw a again can't do it people need to remember that because I because when I've sat and I watched his get beat six seven and eight by middles bro beat by Wickam nearly go out of business on occasions have more owners and chairman than soft mix you know we had more managers than any one we were going we we were the so popular Club but it was all fun times and it still is we're still riding that train and I think if we went back to them days tomorrow we we'd be absolutely fine we'd still be there enjoying ourselves but that's that's just my opinion yeah and IOP you know sorry for the family of Ericson DS and prayers are with them um nowhere to go I hope he did go peacefully in his sleep but not just a sad loss to say it's a sad loss to the football world because we forget he was a great man for our country as well he was the first guy to go and get revenge on the Germans not just that we went and did him in their own back in their own backyard and did him five any manager who makes Emil hesy turned into a world beat get credit off me sunshine and EM was not be sorry yeah he was a great go he was a great guy for Leicester and did okay for Liverpool but come on he he wasn't earing Haren we thank you all for it so much just before we do wrap up Martin I do want to read out the final Super Chat from mcfc sorry it's took so long to get to this um I just wanted to get through obviously the tribute to Seng gor and Erikson before we started talking about transfers again um because I feel like we talk about transfers a lot and you know this stream is it's a bit different because we like to go down memory lane sometimes and you know this is kind of pivotal because unfortunately like we said sang gor and Erikson has passed away and we owe a lot to That Man From the Bottom of our hearts for this club it's the hope that he give us to what we've gone on to achieve but Pedro gonalves is an attacking midfielder that plays as a Winger also we are looking for that mold instead of a natural Striker maybe he's the Mendes player couldn't tell you maybe we'll start to see some news today maybe tomorrow um leading up to the I'm of the opinion when may let K go too late not for us but for Celtic to let go well Celtic were in the market but I think they were more for Matt O'Reilly weren't they because Matt O'Reilly has gone to Brighton now I just think think we've left it too late it's way down because that's an easy deal to do and for us to not have done that he telling me we've moved somewhere else and that name we don't know yet I'm sure we'll start to hear it tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised but and expect nunz potentially leave now yeah um that is Atletico w't be Liverpool I know won't be Liverpool um Athletico was showing big interest um it will be a loan deal if it goes out Ma's 1,00% stain put I've been told which is on on his on his EDB it by the way on that one I think it's absolutely fine I think he'll come good I don't see where he has the minutes that's another time for another we'll see we'll see we we'll we'll we'll discuss it soon Martin because uh and we've got a few people requesting are you doing a space l to Martini no I'm going to do one tomorrow I do apologize I'm just starting some stuff out um in a rage that's what he did he smashed it up in a rage because no be honest with you I'm straight I spilled a drink over it and it's snacking it up and it's now in the repair shop I I was meant to get it back today it's j back tomorrow so tomorrow there will be a fan calling show at 900 pm might even see and then we'll do we'll do a space tomorrow hey you're always everyone's always welcome have you got anything planned for the rest of the week over than just tomorrow Thursday Friday Thursday Thursday night chat where we're going to do round up of the window because I think we'll be done by Thursday night I don't see a scar I am off work like I think I discussed you in private so yeah than yeah that'll be 93 9:30 Thursday we'll be also doing the West H Show preview and then there'll be a West Ham post match Saturday night yeah are you going I'm not going to West no um by the time i' realized it got I didn't realize it had gone as low onto the point by the way just SAR on that in it we how the first away game well first proper I know we started at Chelsea but any it we that West Ham got quite low in points I think half five is that what you think no but it got really low it got to like 2,000 points I think he I think it's just an anomaly I think he'll yeah it's I've never seen it get that it a tough one to get to for a half five kickoff to be fair yes true true true it is um and I think times I've gone and complains that it's like nine quid a pain I want to be doing that at hour five on an evening plus it's a [ __ ] be as well in it yeah well there's still the Athletics track kind of thing in it that's what I hear about it and for me it would take it would take me like I wouldn't get back till like four five think it have seven you're not getting back till five six hours later yeah I wouldn't get back you got out of Center London no no that's wrong when you get out of center of London because that is proper London London is you know that's Olympics yeah that's Olympic it's a lovely Stadium outside it's a lovely Stadium went there lovely Stadium I managed to get in the lower te for that one though
