Phew ... How can I start?
I remember that day from start to finish. I did not eat anything until after the game, I was so stressed I couldn't describe. I hated that it was so quiet around here, things were about the local league, etc, not about the last game of the season in the Premier League. The tv shows on the sport channels were about other things, so I spent all day long on the forum and on Twitter.
I remember at some point I was afraid that united might win 10-0 at Sunderland and win the league. I was so stressed, haha, my mind was going off. I remember went at my parents house to see the game because I had a different network provider at that time, so I was not in the mood to watch the games on rivers and have a delay. Not on that day.
Then the game started.
I remember I was sitting in the bed and not on the couch, I was trying to find the perfect place to sit for City. I remember that I sat on the bed at the 6-1 trashing, but also at 0-0 with B`gham one year earlier, so I was trying to find the "win" spot in the room. I am no superstitios, but that day was a totally different situation.
Rooney scored - fucking hell, how the hell that happend? Sunderland were resurrected under O'Neill, fucking get a draw at least.
Then Zaba scored. I erupted, shouted with all my lungs, cursing, etc. This is it, we won the league -
Then a black hole came. I mean it, a really fucking black hole that ended with Mackey celebrated like they won the league and with tears in my eyes. No fucking way, I cannot believe this. I remember that frame with Bobby Manc shouting: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fucking hell to everyone. I find it funny today, but then, at that moment I was like him. For 5 minutes I was cursing and shouting, then I sat on the floor and watched in vain.
At that moment I was towards the end of a relashionship so my gf at the time was texting me and was more and more annyoed by all the nonsense that happend. I was looking at the tv screen and I was genuine trying to understand what is next for us? I have given all hope away. I was just trying to understand how the hell I can survive this? How the hell can I move on after this?
Then Dzeko scored. I was more annoyed now. Typical. The knife was even deeper now. I was blaming the divinity: What have we done to deserve this? How can we suffer like this?
In the background, the stadium was erupting, de Jong just started another chance for us, then the ball goes to Mario and I hear from the other room shouts. My father Is not a City fan, he supports the local Steaua team, but dislikes United, always did, because of Red Nose. So I hear him shout: GOOOAAALL. I feel my heart skipping a beat. I have a tv delay of 1-2 seconds. Before I realise that, I see the ball at Sergio who just passed Taiwo.
After that everything goes blank.
I think I was making sounds like a seal. Trying to shout goal, crying and having no voice at the same time. For 3-4 minutes I was crying my heart out. Cried like a kid. Rivers of tears. The best moment of my entire life. I just hope that at some time, maybe in another lifetime, It will replay that day on a bigger screen and I can watch myself how I acted from the start towards the end of that historic day.
For a foreigner, seeing City as much as I want is something a bit much, time, money and distance play a role, but still I try to get to see them at least once per year. On that day, on 13.05.2012, I was there. Every single fan of City in the world was there, Neil Young kept Serge balanced when Taiwo went at his feet and MVF stopped Paddy Kenny on reaching for that ball. That was divine intervention.
In the words of a gentleman, look what City has done to me, to us. How can we live without them? How can we imagine a life without them?
GET IN!

Half their team were celebrating. SwP was in the changing rooms with the boys celebrating haha. Ned was probably trying to hang himself somewhere.

I always loved the reaction of the Sunderland fans when the news came through and FergusScum's 'gracious' reaction to that.
