5-1 against Liverpool
3-0 (or 3-1) against Villa same Xmas/new year
1-0 v Pompey (a personal favourite as it was the game that sent them down and the game I also discovered that my dad supported Pompey more than cov...”sit the fuck down” was the shout after we scored.
There are others.

off top of my head
1st ever game 1-1 vs whu in 1993 - roy wegerle scored
beating leicester 4-2 - seann flynn scored
losing to spurs 3-2 - sherringham scored a sublime lob. a gutting loss but just thinking of it reminds me of a day we were pretty much equals in a sense
beating arsenal 3-2 with robbie keane in 1999 - probably best game i ever saw live
beating wolves 2-1 westwood last min save in a packed ricoh
fa cup quarter final vs chelsea - sold out ricoh and a reminder of what we were and how exciting it would be to that again
checkatrade trophy win - feeling of winning this beats the playoffs a year later simply because i dont think cov would ever win something in my lifetime. final nerve wracking as well with that bigi block on line
playoff final win - a more important win, most important in my lifetime and a cov squad that will never be forgotten by me man for man.

I was at both them games also the atmosphere at the Sunderland night game was bouncing I think it was that game that got me hooked for life.

Being a you get fan my first season was actually 87 so the obvious but other games that really stick out where the villa cup game and the away thrashing... the time, the atmosphere and their reaction were golden.
Getting relegated there will also stick for the wrong reasons

There must be an error in these videos, they look ancient but we were in the premier about 3 weeks ago weren't we?

Totally agree, probably the best away day ever for me personally

He also scored similar goals at Forest, when we stuffed them 4-2, and at QPR. The QPR one was more of a lob from just inside their half which went sailing over David Seaman's flailing arms, setting a precedent for Nayim and Ronaldinho to follow in later years.

Yep, that’s the top one for me aswell despite seeing lots of the famous top flight escapes etc.

Adebola's solo effort at Blackburn. In fact, Adebola in general

And we scored first against Man United. I remember the newspaper reporting that 'when the cheering had died down to a crescendo'.

Same reason why I enjoyed Leeds 87 semi final more.
Hugged more strangers at the end of that game than I ever have at a City game!

Loads already mentioned but....
The Adebola goal at Blackburn was quality.
Beating Chelsea 4-1 whilst they were in our away kit.
Banik Ostrava and THAT goal from Tony Dobson.
Losing to Arsenal at Highbury but can still see Hadji’s last minute free kick hitting the bar.
Watford away last game of the season under Strachan. Atmosphere was class and again Hadji did a sublime bit of skill where he nearly scored from near the byline in their box.
Burnley away last game of the season when they had Gazza playing for them. Lee Hughes spent the last 5 mins of the game man marking him just so he could get his shirt. Had been in Blackpool the night before for a Stag Do.
Dean Holdsworth peach against Cardiff in the cup.

Watching from the North Bank at Highbury (with my Arsenal supporting mate) when we beat them 2-1 and Lee Dixon’s lobbed own goal over Seaman from 25 yards in the first few minutes. I think Furlong scored the second goal. How I didn’t jump up and get myself beaten up I don’t know...

That reminds me...another one for me was a 0-0 draw at Highbury. Dublin played centre half and oggy had his nose broken (again) by Ian Wright. In the 2nd half it felt like we didn’t get out of our penalty area let alone our half - they battered us. I remember Dion’s Telescopic leg clearing a ball off the line, seemingly in slow motion. We were right down the front so felt almost part of the action. Possibly the best 0-0 result I’ve seen.

this thread makes you realise that some of the younger supporters have been feeding off scraps as far as memorable games are concerned.
Same for me. It was the weeks build up both sets of fans and the confidence. Before the game both sides made plenty of noise and ultimately we played one of our best away games in years.

As we're at home on Boxing day this year, let's hope we get a game like the one in 77/78 season on the 27th of December. When we beat Norwich 5-4 on a freezing day, what a match this was. A group of us were in the West End still in the party mood, and we were treated to one of the most exciting games I'd ever seen. We still talk about it now and then as it had the lot !
Remember being devastated they got rid of Eric just when it seemed like we were on the edge of being a truly great team.
What ever happened to Bjarni Gudjohnsen?

the best game I ever witnessed at HR, followed by the 3-2 Christmas win over Spurs in 86. Think that was on 27th December as well.

Appointing Peter Reid instead of Eric Black is the greatest 'what if?' in my time as a supporter. Yet, when we gave Andy Thorn the full-time job, he did terribly and a lot of us would've felt that same 'what if?' feeling had he not been appointed. With hindsight, Eric Black should've 100% got a chance but the fact he never takes on a full-time role suggests something.

And there were some shocking results but they seem to get forgotten.

No getting away from it-I went and it was abysmal. I wish they gave Black the job again 2nd time as his name appeared every time another of our managers got the sack. We could then lay the Myth to rest when he turned out to be another Thorn and we could all shut up about him and move on.
