Sergio scored the goal at 16:53

Thank You! Counting down now and reliving those minutes from head in the hands bewildered despair (later heard that Tyler was asking "where will they hide tonight?" about the City fans) to absolute delight, just stood and shouted amazing amazing when Aguero scored.

What's happened to Niall Quinn nowadays ?

All I remember is the rumble in the stadium and then getting piled on by absolutely everybody. Remember being sat there at 2-1 just absolutely devastated. Mate I went with though never gave up hope and as soon as we equalised he was absolutely convinced we'd win it.

I watched it on the telly on my own with an old dying cat in my arms so i was already very emotional , couldnt jump up or yell so i put sky down and went out in the garden and hobbled about shouting at my rag neighbour , then came back in and picked sky up again and flicked between all the stations on the tv for the reactions , i was all over the place in my head in more ways than one

A reminder that even in times of utter joy there's stuff going on to sadden us - but then the reverse is true, too.
R.I.P. Sky and Viva Aguero's 93:20 for ever & ever.

All these videos show us once again that Tyler said stupendous.

Was Quinn no?

My dad always says he was genuinely scared the stadium was going to collapse because the whole top tier was literally shaking. I was bouncing and hugging too much to care. All I could scream was “It’s gillingham all over again!!!!” to everyone.

watching it all back again, right after Dzeko scores the feeling in the crowd just builds & builds that City can still do it, you see people waving their arms & yelling for the players to go forward and get another ..

(i've since imagined that after Sergio's goal he immediately got the ball from the re-start and ran right through QPR for 4-2.)

I was watching on my own in our old flat in St Petersburg. My wife is in retail and was at work, which was probably for the best. I had Tyler's commentary so must have found some dodgy stream of the Sky feed on my PC, which seemed easier to do then. I settled down with a few beers and plenty of confidence.

I remember when in the period after QPR went ahead wandering round the flat, kind of dazed. Just couldn't process us not winning. Kept telling myself to remember the Gillingham game and that if we could get an equaliser, we'd go on and win it. I remember the chance that Balo had on almost exactly 90 minutes when it rebounded off him after Paddy Kenny parried a David Silva corner, and it went wide. I seriously wondered whether that was it, our chance had come and gone.

Then we got another corner, also down our attacking right hand side and again taken by Silva. This one has to go in, I thought to myself, only for him to put it straight into Kenny's hands. I gave up mat this point, and may not have been all that charitable to Silva: I couldn't fathom how such a great player managed such a poor delivery when the opposite was needed.

Of course, we got yet another corner almost immediately afterwards and Silva put in a great delivery this time, while Edin did the rest. Everyone knows what happened after that. I didn't go mad, just collapsed on the sofa with my overriding emotion being relief. That's maybe because I wasn't with anyone else.

I rang home soon after to share the moment with my dad. I'm glad we had that and other subsequent successes, because if there's anything worth sharing in the coming 9 days or so, he's no longer there to enjoy it with. Hope we don't cut it so fine, though, as I'm a decade older now and not sure my blood pressure would stand another finish like that.

I felt sick from the moment Cisse scored but was still hopefull. At 1-2 I was shouting for Sunderland to score and still believed. The moment that Kenny caught that corner I gave up. I was done emotionally and I couldnt bare to watch any more. Me and my brother walked outside the Blue Achor in London which was filled with hundreds of City fans. We both stood outside in disheveled disbelief. They done it to us again.

We heard the the equaliser and walked slowly back into the pub. Not really giving us much hope. We got back to our original positions about 10 seconds before aguero scored. Absolute carnage, beer and people everywhere.

I was on my knees, head in hand notnquite believing what Id just seen.. I kept repeating to myself.. I cant believe it, I cant believe it.. I can't believe it.

After 10 15 minutes of hugging everyone. I had to leave the pub to be by myself for a while. I sat down in a little alley and cried my eyes out.

So the Scouse Granny Shagger has kept this conspiracy theory to himself for 10 years, and only now can he bring himself to tell the world about it.

Rooney, 37, reflected on Kenny's goalkeeping during Man City's emphatic 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium which saw them win the Premier League title.

The Derby County boss found it 'strange' that QPR kicked the ball straight back to the City players following their equaliser, as they were trying to secure their Premier League status.


Rooney also highlighted Djibril Cisse celebrating with the Man City after the game despite being on the losing side with QPR.

“On reflection, Paddy Kenny should have done better for a couple of the goals. City get the second goal, and QPR kick it straight back to them. That’s never been questioned, which I find strange," Rooney said at the Premier League Hall of Fame ceremony.

“Djibril Cisse celebrating with the City players after the game. Listen, it’s a historic moment in the Premier League, and I’m sure if you’re not a Manchester United player it’s probably the greatest moment in the league.”

Ha ha a rag questioning the effort an opposing player put into a game, the irony. Kenny pulled off a series of great saves too in that game.

Cisse also smashed a goal in and took great delight in celebrating that too. He was celebrating them staying up and his French mates Nasri and Clichy winning the league.

Might have been asked, do we know the exact time the goal went in, not within the match, within the day itself, I can’t remember what time we even kicked of
