Three for me I think, yesterday Covid and Keith Cuss. I’d long since given up on Withdean for the league cup win!

4-1 at the Goldstone in December 1979, a few days after the Boxing Day mauling of Palace. Gerry Ryan ran the length of the field before scoring at the south end. We put four past City on three occasions during our four seasons in the old first division (twice in the league and once in the FA Cup) so of course we signed their goalkeeper (Joe Corrigan).
Remember going to that game. Happy Days

It’s absolutely glorious that if you mention the Keith Cuss game, a game played over 35 years ago most notable for a 41 year old man doing a back header, and everyone could tell you the opponent, score and wether they were there.
I served my apprenticeship at BCal with his son, Simon.

And 6 times.

3 for me. Withdean, Covid and yesterday.

My dad (who never normally misses a game) is sitting at 1 with just Withdean having somehow missed both Amex wins AND the 1-1 draw (which is one of the best games of football I’ve ever seen).

I normally used to stand on the south-west terraces but for some reason I was in the north-west that day, so right behind the great man when he stepped into Albion immortality.

3 for me too - the Withdean League Cup penalty win, the Covid special and yesterday’s. All were pretty special, but last night’s definitely feels like the best one

That was the first one for me. Was on holiday in Spain for the Withdean one.

I’ve seen them all dating back to our time in the first Division in the 80’s with the only exception being the league cup win at the Withdean. I particularly remember the 4-0 pasting we gave them in the FA Cup on our way to Wembley.

For me the next milestone is to beat them at their place. Since we’ve been in the PL the Etihad is the only ground that we’ve not won at now out of the big 6 / top 8 (if you add Villa & Newcastle into the mix).

In person, just the one - Withdean on a Tuesday night in 2008, after losing 1-0 to the nine men of Walsall on the preceding Saturday. A microcosm of life as an Albion fan!

Yesterday and the Covid game I watched, but didn't attend.

Once :)

There was a time just a few years ago when the City games were the only ones I didn't bother watching on the telly, so obvious was the outcome. But was buzzing for that one and thoroughly enjoyed it from my WSL vantage point!

Second time for me! 08’ at the Withdean in the Cup and then today. (Didn’t make the cut to attend the Covid game) and wasn’t born in before we beat them prior - so how many teams have you seen beat City (live)?
Me too

4 for sure. Yesterday, Covid, League Cup and Cuss. Doubt I was there in 81 but can't be certain as my memories as a kid of the few games I went to aren't that clear. I remember us scoring 4 but I think that was Coventry a bit later
