13 May 2012: Aguero + Tyler's commentary

[citizen_maine]

Doubt it, as there's never likely to be a singular moment like that again...

Drink it in

Stupendous.

Yep, don’t forget Quinn’s legendary input

Indeed. “The greatest moment in football I’ve seen in Premier League football.

Iconic :-)

There was a series of short films made by City to commemorate this including one focussed on the media (see link below). Martin Tyler is interviewed in that, including his thoughts on how he commentated on that moment, and I always thought it was quite a good documentary.

I have this hung in my office at home.

It's great looking back but at the game it was bloody torture once QPR went 2-1 ahead. A bloody horrible day except for the five minutes of injury time. I've mentioned this on other posts about that day, but it was like watching the game in black and white and it exploding into the most glorious colour once Aguero's shot hit the back of the net. Total euphoria and a high that lasted all summer.

I only ever watched the whole game back once. I hated every second of the second half up until injury time (barring the Barton red card)

It made me relive the frustration and utter depression I’d got to by the 85th minute. The euphoria of it happening in replay wasn’t as high as it was live and didn’t justify me feeling that low again.

The documentaries about it are much better,

One of you lovely people must have the clip of the female reporter outside the ground whilst it is 2-2, only for a form of sonic boom to go off behind her as Sergio smashes the ball in?

Dear all,
Born and raised in Amsterdam, supporting PSV Eindhoven, opening a new thread on this Blue Moon Forum. Thanks!

Two of the most insane minutes in stoppage time must have been City-QPR match in 2012. For me, as a Dutch fan, I am mesmerized by Tyler's commentary. But, if I'm right when reading the comments, Tyler's commentary isn't your favorite? Did I understand that corrrectly? Is it because Tyler is supporting ManU (I'm assuming?). Or: what's the best commentary regardering these two insane minutes?

Greetings from Amsterdam!

Listen to any game we scored in in more recent times and the **** barely gets above a whisper, someone score against us and he has a screaming orgasm. Clearly either hated us, or was paid to hate us

I still squirm at the reception Tyler was given at the Aguero anniversary that City held at freight island..
Very small time
