How can we ever top that feeling?

[Im_Spartacus]

Snatching the league in the 95th minute is something that I can't see being topped. Perhaps scoring an injury time winner in the CL final against them would come close but still don't think it can top last sunday.

I dont think it would.

I can live without the champions league.........the league though, that they have won so many times, its priceless

[PeterParker]

Maybe what would top that will be the same scenario, but this time with the rags, instead of QPR.

Imho, that will be the creme de la creme.

I thought the last title match against Newcastle was the best the way we won on the last day 4-3 and would never be eclipsed, but Sundays game beat that feeling hands down.It was a very special day for not just us City fans but for all football fans.You could not make an ending like that up.
I'm still buzzing about it.

But as someone rightly pointed out we will never ever ever have to wait that long to do it in a way like that... Never.

I honestly don't think that can be topped. We overtook our hated rivals with the last kick of the season to win the league on goal difference whilst they were all celebrating what they thought was their 20th title.

Even if it was possible to win in even more extreme circumstances than that one, it wouldn't be for our first title, it would be for our second/third/fourth or whatever, which I think would make it less amazing than last week.

I don't mind it being the best feeling we can ever possibly have in football. I feel like I can die a happy city fan now I've seen us win it once. Any bitterness I've had towards them has been washed away now, because we've had our moment of joy whilst we at the same time inflicted the maximum amount of pain on them, and they can't ever take that away from us :)

Of course, I still hope we win the next 50 titles and they go bankrupt and cease to exist as soon as possible.

Would you really want them to cease to exist? Don't think even the most die hard fan would. The rivalry is what keeps the blood pumping.

Not only that but they serve as a filter to weed out most of the human shite from other clubs. If they ceased to exist, all the horrible cunts of the world would come to support us & others instead.

[Clowncrete]

It can't be topped, imo. Nothing comes close to kicking your rival out while they are celebrating. Those faces of manure fans at Sunderland standing dejected are priceless!!

[Blue Jam]

What I've been thinking all week is... THE RAGS NEVER HAVE OR NEVER WILL TOP THAT FEELING.

Put this to them. At work. In the pub. They will, if course, say, "Champions League 1999...", but no. They know, THEY KNOW FOR A FACT that the feeling that day can't have come close to Blue Sunday.

They know that they will never have the hunger that we had. They know that they didn't snatch a trophy from their bitterest rivals in such dramatic, impossible, unwritable, desperate, delirious fashion (while they were preparing to celebrate, while they were ordering foie gras and popping their bottles of crystal). They have never juxtaposed such desperate despair at 2-1 down at 90 minutes with such exquisite nirvana (Agueroooooooo!) in such a short space of time. They might not realise this yet, they are planning next seasons win - let's face it, even if they do - they will never experience this feeling.

Tell them this. Tell them, in detail. Tell them. They will go quiet for quite a while. They will, at the moment that realisation sinks in, know that they chose an easy ride. They will spend the rest of their pathetic, dull lives knowing, deep down, that they should have chosen the roller coaster ride.

Multiple relegations, spectacular catastrophes, decades of sneering and piss takes. All they were doing was feeding our hunger, nurturing our gallows humour. And now look at them. Defendriending us on Fakebook. Not responding to emails. We have the best humour, the strongest character. Now we have the best team. Not to mention, the finest moments in the history of football.

So, no, I don't think we can top Sunday. But I would say that, I'm soooo bloody negative!

And you know what? I wouldn't change a thing. We might have had our most exquisite moment, but there will be bigger, more spectacular achievements over the years. They will all remind us of Blue Sunday.

[Rag_hater]

I've more or less always enjoyed things more the second time round because of the reason that I am paying more attention to the pleasurable things that are happening with less worry.
Next time we win it will probably give me more pleasure or we might top it.

[Dronny]

#1 feeling - Aguerroooooooooooooooooooooooooo, City win in Fergie time to stop scum winning 20th title
#2 feeling - City winning it again with a nice little FA Cup double
#3 feeling - City winning Chumps league
#4 feeling - City winning title, FA Cup and Chumps League
#5 feeiling - Kate U's boobs bouncing up and down on my face while Halle Berry blows me non stop

[john68]

Why would any of you want to try and top it?

Just treasure it.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Winning the chumps league would top it.

No chance.

[blues-clues]

It's a very good point but I guess what is behind the question is a slightly disturbing feeling that no matter what we achieve from now on, nothing is ever going to feel that good again.

Having read the posts on here and thought about it for a few days I would agree with many, it was a the combination of circumstances and events that made Sunday so incredible. Only some of the individual components could happen again, last Sunday was like an alignment of all the planets and I just cannot imagine the circumstances where winning would feel better than it did on Blue Sunday.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Didn't think, in my lifetime, that 1968 would ever be surpassed but the events of last Sunday transcended that with a good deal to spare.

However, as a consolation, it would be nice to win the League again next season by beating the Scum in their own back yard and having the trophy presented to us, in front of all their moronic followers. Either that, or winning it the week before we played them at the Swamp and they then had to congratulate us onto the pitch, before the kick-off.

But no, I don't think anything will ever again generate such awe inspiring amazement, as last Sunday produced. In decades to come, people will still be talking and marvelling at it.

But didn't we think that after Gillingham?

[BobbyJ1956]

Going into Wembley station after the Gillingham match all singing "you can stick your fucking treble up your arse" was terrific. So was the pitch invasion at Maine Road after the Birmingham game the next season and the 4-1 at Blackburn to get promoted, and beating the rags in the last Maine Rd derby. Then there was Wembley last year, someone unfurling a banner at the end that said "35 years of pain washed away." But add all these up and they don't top how it felt last Sunday. I've watched it over and over, listened to it in four languages, think about it during sex, wake up thinking about it, find myself laughing in the street when I re-run it in my head. Even if City win everything in sight for the next ten years, even if they play like Brazil, the old Real Madrid, and the 1950s Hungarians combined, nothing will ever beat those moments on Sunday May 13th when Kun Aguero scored and when Kompany got hold of that trophy, deliberately waited a moment, then thrust it up towards the sky, the sky blue sky.

[branny]

How about beating the quiet ones in the CL final in similar fashion.

[Scatman]

It's the next hurdle on our journey. Best in ingerland is one thing, best in Europe is another.

We'll find a way to top it, no fear. This is typical City.

Absolutely not. This is the one. We've no rivalries in Europe; none like this one even if we did. This is the best thing that anyone at the club will ever experience. We could win everything in the same season and it wouldn't even come close to this.
