It felt unbelievable to be back today. I was in 116 instead of my usual 316 as I wanted to be close to the pitch for the celebrations after the trophy lift. It was a great atmosphere but I couldn't do every game stood up at my age.

I came down from tier 2 to block 115 to be with my son. I also can not do games stood up, but despite that it was very enjoyable.

Thought Sterling was excellent today, his pace was unstoppable, his runs open up gaps in opponents defence for KDB and co to exploit, I would seriously consider sticking with that starting line up next Saturday. As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Agreed he was good, Agreed his pace caused problems… would you agree 5 out of 6 of his attacks fizzled out without a meaningful pass being made ?

There’s a seat on the bench with his name on it next Saturday

You’re not his new agent perchance?

Would love to see him running at Azpilecueta after 60 mins of chasing Foden. Don't want to jinx it but can almost sense a pen coming our way!
 
The Boys in Blue never gave in, they fought to the end. Thank you City players, thank you all the coaching staff, thank you to every single person who works there especially tonight setting up for the presentations and thank you to all the fans especially the Blue Mooners. (John Boy did well didn’t he?)
I’ve just got in from the match, took so many photos of the presentation that my phone died! (It had 95% when I arrived at the stadium!) I’m on my iPad now while my poor phone gets fed! :-)

I am freezing cold, soaking wet, cried a bucket of tears because of when Sergio came on, when he scored the first goal, even more when he scored the second, when the players paraded the trophy and the top hat was put on when they said goodbye to Sergio. But I would not have missed it for all the tea in China as the saying goes!

Thank you everyone. The entry to the stadium was very easy, they checked my identity and my ticket, print at home, so at the first check I had to go in a different queue but it was an empty queue so actually no real queuing at all for me.
I am still excited and need to get warm and dry so off for a cuppa! Thank you everyone for your support this season I’ve had fun. :-)

Still the big one to come and I hope the fans who go over there make as much noise as we did today.
 
What a fantastic way to end the season.

Five wonderful goals, a clean sheet, a penalty save and a farewell brace from the club's greatest goal scorer.

There were some great individual performances, most notably Kevin, Dinho and Kyle, but the star of the show has to be Sergio on his last game as a City player at Etihad. Both his goals were brilliantly taken, but the header for his second was more reminiscent of Edin Džeko than Kun Agüero.

I loved the celebrations during the presentation; it was a lovely gesture to have Jonathan Bell bring the Premier League trophy out and Pep's tears, when talking about Sergio said a great deal about both men.

It was great to see both Buzzer and Franny in the stadium.

I just can't express how much I love this club.

Just to add to the Sterling debate. Thought he was decent today. Even in this poor run of form he causes chaos and doubt in the backline.

I think we have been spoilt be some outstanding not normal stuff in the last 10 years and we criticise players so easily that would be another teams best player. Sterling and Jesus are two of those players that if put in 16 or 17 of the other prem teams become their best players by a margin.

Also watching WNRH after full time and seeing Horlock, Dickov and Morrison talking, seeing the tributes to Kun, Colin Bell etc got me considering how other fans experience their clubs. I know everyone has an attachment to their team but i wonder if ours is different due to its extremes? I don't know if any other fan base can hold players like Goater and Aguero in the same regard - despite the huge disparity in their ability and achievement there is an equality in our experience of and love for both those players.

Also big shout to Brian Kidd - there are very, very few people involved in football with his trophy haul and history. He's been there and done it several times over. Huge respect to him

Kiddo. Manchester legend
 
Remember when we were 9th late November??

What a turn around! That “talk” by Ferni to bond them obviously worked.
I lost count the amount of times I was in tears today. When kun put in his first, it was like he was rolling back the years, un-complicated finish.
Today we proved we are worthy champions of the PL, yet some fans will always hate us. Fück them!
Powering into my second large glass of Sailor Jerrys and ice. Better not watch Peps interview again tonight, I’ll be crying again.

Onwards City, legendary stays awaits you on Saturday. Show the world just how good you can be!!!
 
Getting into the ground was a bit chaotic but whatever, difficult and unprecendented circumstances for the staff, so I won't be too harsh on them.
It was great attending a football match again, especially one so special.
I was there for Sergio's debut when he came off the bench and scored two and realised then he was a special and exciting player. Then to be lucky enough to be there for his last PL game where, you guessed it, he came off the bench to score two, well, I just feel honoured.
It was great to see the team lift the trophy at the end of such a demanding season but today felt like Aguero's day above all else.
What a player. The last of the 11/12 team. End of an era. What a ten years to be a City fan.

Really special day that. Took my old man who I have seen a handful of times this last year with him being so careful with the Covid situation. I had tears in my eyes most of the game as he is showing his age more and more. Will treasure today for ever.

That post making me shed a tear.
A day you'll never ever forget, Days like today are what life is all about spending these occasions with loved ones.
 
Brilliant City. Brilliant Sergio. I’ll miss him, and feel so lucky that I got to watch him for so long.

I thought overall Raheem was decent today, but he just can’t be trusted in front of goal in the biggest games. No way I’d put him in next week unless we’re winning and need more pressing in the attacking areas.

We look ready. Chelsea dont.
