Hi my name is Bob Ruediger, I'm an official City supporter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States. I started supporting City five years ago when my college roommate introduced me to the beauty of football, something that my American hometown had never introduced me to. I fell in love with City because of the connection to bands like oasis and the smiths, my love for the color blue, a lifelong hatred of united fans (the only football fans I had ever met before college, needless to say they were scum), the empathy I found for the loving and faithful fans and the way that their pain was relevant to my personal depression, players like Ireland, Petrov, Bridge, Elano, SWP, Richards, and, of course, Tevez, but most of all I loved the way watching City made me felt, pure happiness, a feeling I still only get during the ninety minutes a week I get to see them. Since I started supporting City I have not missed a single match, I cried when Crouch scored against us in 2010 out of true sadness, and I cried when Crouch scored again in 2011 out of genuine happiness. I love this club with all of my heart, I have no girlfriend because every girl I date can't grasp that City comes first. I got the crest tattooed over my heart last February because City is the only thing I love enough to conquer my fear of needles. Finally, even if City were to end up bankrupt, in conference, and without a trophy for the rest of my life I will still be here and I refuse to be buried in anything other than a sky blue kit when I pass.
