[cheshiregreen]

Today has been a very good day for Argyle.

Truly outstanding result against Man City's young talent.

[PL2 Pilgrim]

Well done to the youngsters, super effort

Brilliant performance. Some outstanding individual performances from Ryan Law, Cameron Sangster, Mike Cooper but it is probably unfair to single out individuals because they all worked their socks off.

For a bit of context to this result, here's a Guardian article from relatively recently talking about the huge resources Man City are putting into their youth team - More England youth internationals than any team bar Chelsea, beating Man United at every age group and putting 9 or 10 goals past other premier league youth sides

Just caught up with this, amazing result ! I'm so proud and happy for the lads, they must be busting with pride right now !!

My partner grew up close to Maine Road, worked for City at one time, and is a diehard City fan (though she's been to a couple of hundred Argyle games).

First night of bragging rights in a 17 year relationship! Well done to everyone involved.

[Penmaster]

Well done chaps! Great result.

Proper job!! Not a bad day all round for all things Argo!

Well done to the lads. I wonder when was the last time an Argyle team played a Man City team in a Cup competition at Home Park

I can think of that great League Cup semi-final over 2 legs in the 70's when Argyle drew with Mam City at Maine Rd, then lost at Home park, with the away team including the likes of Colin Bell and Rodney Marsh both England internationals. Argyle, I seem to recall had stand-out players in Mariner Machin and Furnell in goal.

I cannot think of anything since. Any offers?

Didn't we draw at Home Park and then lose at City? Just been alerted to this, what a fantastic result for those youngsters. Well done to all concerned.
