Aguero 93:20 8th Anniversary 16:53 Wednesday

Just been reading the BBC article. Not surprisingly, the same old emotions started all over again, culminating in the usual welling up of tears when Sergio whacks the ball past Kenny. Just can't do anything about it. The older I get, the softer I get.

Fine article, that. Tells how Richards & Lescott and Ned Onuoha (in the QPR team) saw the day, good takes on Barton being sent off and Mancini losing it on the touchline. I will be counting down the minutes to 93:20 this afternoon and remembering the utter despair & then the quite pleasant feeling that followed.
 
Best footballing week of my life.
Can remember that horrible feeling when Samir let it go out of play.Then the noise and the celebration after.
Six days later Hearts beat hibs 5/1 in the Scottish cup final.
Stuff dreams are made off.
 
Just showed it again on Sky.
It still gets the emotions running.
There’s something in my eye : )
I came home from that game an emotional reck and as I drove onto my street my wife had hung one of my City flags out of the window and it set me off again.
City you have ruined me.
 
I remember 2 bits from the match that stood out. I had put up with an elderlyish "supporter" behind me for a good 4 years. Boy did she moan. We could be 5-0 up and she'd complain it should have been 6. Early in the game she shouted out her first pearl of wisdom..."Get YaYa off and bring De Jong on". FFS. We needed to win the game here not hold out for a draw.There was stunned silence around me. At 2-1 down going into injury time, she unleashed another demotivating nugget. At which point I turned round and told her to shut the 'hell' up. Stunned, she replied how she'd supported the team for 30 blah blah years. I hit back "and I've supported them for 24, so either shut the 'hell' up or get behind the team...you're not helping". Not much of a contribution to what happened soon after, but I take credit for silencing one dissenting voice. She skulked away soon after full time and moved seats for the following season !!
