Goal of the day on the OS is Petrov v Man City. I used to love MP, outstanding attacking winger, completely bereft of defending but wow he scored some great goals. He was around during City's 'exciting but not quite enough to win the league' period, also featuring the likes of Elano, Robinho, AJohnson, Skol, Ireland. Exciting time, we couldnt get it done though.

And the rags-slayer Geovanni :shhh:

That period was about right in terms of being good, but not so good that it wasn't exciting when you win.

Vlad Weiss reminds me of Petrov too.

Geovanni, wow forgotten all about him!

Who was that fucking CH we had from Portsmouth (I think) welsh guy who broke some cunts jaw with a horrific tackle? He was hated from then on, by all. Ben someone?

Also, seems odd to say, but we had D Seaman for a while?!

Javier Garrido - he was another one from that era that wasn't quite good enough. Happy days!

That era was fun, and particularly for having what looked like a fuckig brilliant midfield of johnson and irelandinho, but garrido was fuck awful. Remember when we got dry fisted by chelsea? He was the main culprit for the majority of their goals that day.

Ahhhh Garrido, another player who was shit but I so wanted him to be good. Flashes of good, nothing more.

Seems a 100 years ago that Sven was here too.

Bojanov...would have been a great player for us! Desperately unlucky.

Yep, I was there at El Gamper.

It was Zlatans first game for Barca too.

We defended most of the game go be fair and Petrov scored on the Break.
