What if Sergio had gone down and we were all sat there waiting for Mario to take the penalty.
I don't think I could have dealt with that.
Imagine if there was a VAR check too.

Good shout mate, i bet they also went through the emotions !Anyone met a QPR fan who was at the game that day? I've never heard what it was like to be there, from their perspective.
I always shudder watching it imagining Sergio putting that shot wideYou couldn't have written it any better. For the rags to be celebrating and think they had won it made it all the more sweeter, but it was fucking awful at the time until Agueroooo did his magic.
So many little sub plots. Things you look back on and wonder what might have happened if things had have been different. What if QPR didn't find out they were safe? What if Nasri realised it would be a QPR throw and kept the ball in?
Nothing will ever beat that moment.

Waved my dad off at Piccadilly approach - he looked like he’d just done 6 months at Passchendaele.That day was madness
Walked back into town afterwards and it was eerie, everyone was emotionally exhausted

Can we change “them” to “those” in thread title please - Serge deserves our full, grammatically-correct respect.

What if Sir Joseph of Barton hadn't been the horrible little Scouse **** he is.

About eight of us to The Oxford up by Whitworth Park and when we sat down no one said a word for a good minute and a half.

Always wondered what happened to that young chap caught on camera thrashing the seat behind him with his red and black scarf when the score was yet 2-2.
Like to think that the club sent him a request for compensation. Every little helps…

What would have happened if we didn't get the win, Mancini would have been sacked, players would have been called bottlers and mentally done with next season's challenge under a new manager, 100% Pep or Pellegrini would not have come 2 seasons earlier.
Also, the fans' reaction to losing the title to United and another season of them ramping it up calling us bottlers

I thought this was going to be one of those posts about doing too much acid as a kid?
I know they were avoiding relegation and what have you, and they went wild at the final whistle too, but I bet they got caught up in the sheer madness of the day and the City fans. Never heard an account from their end thoughGood shout mate, i bet they also went through the emotions !

We probably would have won the game sooner!

And cue the tears in 5…4…3…
The best vid made of that day.
This is the one I always go back to, usually at the start of a season to get myself revved up for a new campaign.
I'll never forget the way it was like all the breath went out of my body when Sergio scored and then rushed back in so I could scream.
What a day it was.

I'm convinced it would have sent us back 5 years, or we never got Pep...What would have happened if we didn't get the win, Mancini would have been sacked, players would have been called bottlers and mentally done with next season's challenge under a new manager, 100% Pep or Pellegrini would not have come 2 seasons earlier.

Yeah, I think the owners would have cracked the whip and manager and some players would have left
Mancini only lasted another season, the cracks were there and from what we now know about that players like Joe Hart and Kompany and some others had a major voice about Mancini getting the sack
