Poznan coach Jose Maria Bakero is the proud owner of one of the Blues t-shirts illustrating the terrace craze.
Blues fans wowed the world with their rendition of the fan celebration at Wembley and now according to the News in Poland the circle has been completed.
Bakero said he had been given the shirt as an Easter present by a relative of his in Britain.

‘Presents’ of a more expensive kind are in the thoughts of the British press with the Mail on Sunday picking up on the theme that Carlos Tevez could be a £40million departure this summer to Inter.
‘The Milan club will try to offset the cost of that deal by selling Holland midfielder Wesley Sneijder for around £30m, with Manchester United a possible destination,’ reckons Alex Montgomery.
That is also a story backed up in the News of the World; though remember their website has now to be paid for.
In essence their stories today hint that we are resigned to Tevez leaving the club in the summer, but are likely to use Inter’s interest to try and prise Sneijder away from the Italian club.

They also reckon the Blues are lining up a GBP15 million bid for Everton defender Leighton Baines and that Udinese striker Alexis Sanchez is also on the shopping list.

Steve Millar in the Star on Sunday also reckons a fresh striker is on the way but he believes it will be Napoli star Edinson Cavani. Just one of many names linked with City in a media merry-go-round that will spin faster as the summer looms.

It wouldn’t do for a day to go by without Mario Balotelli making into the papers and Steve Bates in the People obliges.
‘Balotelli has been given a minder to keep him out of more trouble – Roberto Mancini’s teenage son Andrea,’ reckons Bates.
‘But the move has caused surprise and unrest among some senior Manchester City stars who believe Italian bad boy Balotelli is being given preferential treatment.’

Elsewhere in the same paper it is said that Fulham are plotting move for Shaun Wright-Phillips, that Mancini snr is keen to sign Celta Vigo's Denis Suarez, that Roma’s Daniele De Rossi has emerged as a potential transfer target as has Lyon defender Aly Cissokho.

And just for good measure Sven Goran Eriksson, the Leicester City manager, will attempt to sign Greg Cunningham on a permanent basis in the summer.

Now Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson knows that Manchester City are a big club - Roberto Mancini
Italian manager insists that when his Red Devils counterpart congratulated him after the FA Cup semi-final, it was not just out of courtesy, but also out of respect
Roberto Mancini insists that Manchester City have made their arch-rivals Manchester United show them the respect that goes with being a big club.
Last weekend the Eastlands outfit booked a place in the FA Cup final at Wembley by beating the Red Devils in the last four.
And having been congratulated by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, the Italian believes that City are finally beginning to be perceived as a genuine threat for honours.
"Sir Alex offered me his congratulations after the game at Wembley and that was very important and very kind," Mancini said, according to The Mirror.
"He now knows that we are a big club because he is a clever man. He understands football very well. He knows that ­Manchester City has changed a lot over the last year.
"I don’t know what he has said about our club in the past, but if you want to arrive at the top there is only one way – and that is to work very hard.
"The only way you can change the mentality of a club is to win and that means working hard over a long period of time.
"It is impossible to bring a winning mentality to a club in one month or even six months. Of course, we need to work even more but we are getting better - and he knows that."

You've really got to hand it to Bridge... a year on and Terry's left hanging again
A season on from the non-handshake between Wayne Bridge and John Terry following allegations of a relationship between the Chelsea captain and Vanessa Perroncel, Bridge's former girlfriend, the moments before yesterday's game offered a chance for a rematch – and a change of tactics from Bridge.
Last year, when playing for Manchester City, Bridge moved to offer a hand, only to pull it back at the last moment.
This time, with him at West Ham, he suddenly took a deep interest in shaking the hand of a mascot being taken down the line of players by Terry.
By the time an enthusiastic handshake had been completed with a Chelsea-shirted figure of about four feet tall, a rather larger one - in the shape of Terry - had once more been left with his hand hanging in the air by Bridge, as the home crowd's jeers almost matched that of the cheers from West Ham's travelling supporters.

PMSL at Wayne Bridge, Well done I say.

De Rossi and Baines would be nice

Not that I really give a toss, but how is Berbatoss all of a sudden regarded as a failure, when he's the prem top scorer despite never playing. And by the same reckoning, why is Woony still being wanked over.

De Rossi is a top player but I don't think we have room for him unless Bobby feels that Barry's best years are behind him. If I was an Arsenal fan I'd be pleading with Wenger to sign Rossi, he'd improve them beyond belief, just what they need.

Sneijder and £15Mil for Carlos? Yes please.

I think if we are to lose Carlos this summer which is looking more and more likely then as he will without doubt be going to a big european club we must use him in a part ex deal for one of their top players as in the case of the snjeider rumours and also ensure we get good value in the deal. Any other suggestions for a part ex? Kaka has also been mentioned, not really sure that would be a good move for us but a playmaker is definitely needed

Anyone see Leighton Baines get swotted away by Valencia yesterday? Embarrassing defending.

Yes and I fear he'd join the list of failed left backs to have played for City.

Yeah it makes me laugh when I read these "Tevez to Inter" "Snjeider to United" headlines......if Tevez goes to Inter then I would imagine that we would be ensuring that Wesley comes the opposite direction but certainly not headed to Salford

What idiot from the News of the World wrote that utter shite about upsetting the rags by wearing the Manchester crest in the final?

Obviuously another lazy hack who has no clue that as the only club within the bounds on the City of Manchester, we are the only club that has the right to wear the coatof Arms. The rags, being from Trafford have always needed to apply for permission, which in the past has been granted.

"WE'RE MANCHESTER CITY...WE WEAR WHAT WE WANT"
"THEY ARE RAGS...THEY WEAR WEAR WHAT THEY'RE TOLD THEY CAN"

I disagree, he looks like someone who could barely lift a bowling ball, but I think he is a fantastic defender, and a threat on set pieces. Get him, move Kolarov to a backup midfielder and emergency left back and it works well for me.

Kolarov will get better. This is his first season in the premier league ffs. He showed his quality against the scum.

I am not worried about Kolarov, I just think Baines is better and Kolarov is suited for midefield. First season or not, he looks like a heavy train when he starts running, eventually he gets to pace. I am not sure what another season in the prem will do to fix that.
