Classic thread.

Fabulous thread!

I think I went throught every emotion expressed here.

Typical City means something new now.

Dear City,
You did it to us at Newcastle in 68, it was the same at Bradford, then again against Gillingham...Why?...and why did you have to do it to us again today?

Why can't you just do things normally? Like other clubs. Why can't you let City fans simply enjoy what they are seeing without having to cause multiple cardiac arrests on the way. Simple stuff like scoring early, settling down, managing the game without any scares. Why do you have to commit suicide, die before our eyes, allow us to mourn our loss and attend the funeral...before popping an eye open, giving us a sly wink and shouting "Fooled Ya hahahah."

City, you are a bitch. I love you to bits, but today, I don't like you, I don't know if I want to forgive you. You are an addiction, you are bad for my health. You make me sing, dance, laugh, throw myself at complete strangers to hug them. I am happy when I do those things...but why do you have to put the fear of death in me and make me cry before I do?

I have supported you and put up with this for 56 years. I have allowed you to drive me to paradise several times...but why, why, why, why the fuck do you always have to take me via Hell first?

[Wonderwall]

fantastic thread, some classic posts which made me LOL with the benefit of hindsight...

And please everyone spare a thought for BET FRED ha ha ha ha, what a wanker

this puts perfectly into words the crazy things that have happened
I think at some point everyone felt like this is fantastic! but please never like this again
but we could expect this from city
and we're all supporting city, therefore we're all a bit of massochists I guess

and in a way this is the best way you can ever win a title
the fact that it pisses the rags off that we gave them hope makes it already worth wile
its a sports law that before the celebrations, there has to be agony
but when city is involved, the agony is more like pure desperation
and then comes the ecstacy

You know why. You wouldn't have it any other way either.

Imagine if the rags and us had both drawn or both lost. It'd be piss funny for a while, but then it'd be empty. Who wants the title handed to them? If I'd wanted that I'd have picked the rags as a kid and avoided all the heartache. If we'd never one the title/been takenover, I still wouldn't go back. Rags threw everything they had at us, it wasn't enough. They challenged right to the end, but so did we. Some fans pick the likely winners and back them, they get to ride on the coattails but it can never mean the same. We are City.

well, that's a very gracious post from an ussually great and gracious poster.
and that's also summing up why I love Man City and Sampdoria: the unique flavour to do it the hardest and fair way.

But, also please City, do it hard, harder but not as hard as You did yesterday! i'm getting old...

Having now watched the last 15 minutes of the game around 30 times - why do you think QPR chose to hoof the ball straight to Joe Hart (probably aiming to put it out of play) when it kicks off again at 2-2?

They were safe and wanted us to win?

Because the bolton match was over and they only got a draw. But that could have been at 3-2.

Anyway, there was definitely an understanding after the last goal.

[hyper]

That's pretty much as I saw it - just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. Also, SWP seems almost apologetic after winning that throw in just before the winner.

[ronk]

A draw still guaranteed them safety after Dzeko's goal. They were still playing for time and not allowing themselves to be drawn out. They were in no rush to take the throw and probably would have rathered not take it at all.
