Remember walking up Joe Mercer way from the car park before the game and my mum went to go the other way around the shop "to see what's there". Having gone the other way all season, told her I'd throw her over my shoulder if she took one more step!
I'd felt sick all day, but my 10yr old daughter had never seen 'typical City' and was bouncing. At 2-1 down I recall her asking me if a draw was still enough and me watching the colour and hope drain from her when I said we needed to win. I just sat there, literally giggling, that no matter how much we spent, Typical City wouldn't die. Then Dzeko scored right in front of us...

'Look what it's done to me'. This will never ever get old....10 years on...my bottom lip wobbles and my eyes start to fill up.

Similar. . My son was 7 and when Dzeko scored and he cheered I bollocked him. Told him to sit down and shut up. It was almost better we lost than drew - Drawing meant we were only 1 goal away which to me would hurt even more, and I told him he was only cheering cos he was a little kid who knew no better. Turns out he did, and perhaps it wasn't my best ever parenting looking backRemember walking up Joe Mercer way from the car park before the game and my mum went to go the other way around the shop "to see what's there".

Who started peeling onions? This is a work of art mate. Well done. I presume that's your old man?

I was the same, didn't even get shitfaced afterwards!Before the Dzeko goal I can still remember the atmosphere.
For some reason we were all stood up except for two blokes in front of me who were both sat with their head in their hands.
Most people were silent but there were some arguments kicking off and a fight was developing nearby.
I could hear someone crying.
Then Edin equalised. It all got a bit agitated.
And then it happened. Sheer bedlum and chaos. An outpouring of raw emotion.
In the hours and days afterwards I was just numb.
Like the condemned man who gets a last second reprieve as the noose is placed around his neck.
Sheer and utter relief but almost impossible to celebrate it 'normally'.
Nothing will ever top it for me in all my years supporting City.
PS Thank God there was no VAR back then!
Tonight will be a glorified City Square evening I can imagine. Few highlight videos. Couple interviews.That's the lunch event. The evening one is for the 2000 £5 tickets. It says in the description for that one, a chance to have photos with ex players etc. I just hope after travelling 3 and a bit hours, I get to to have a photo with Sergio tonight!
