My old man got season tickets for us in 76 and said son this teams going places, have kept them ever since and two of his mates that dropped away and they've stayed in the family ever since with Charlotte, Naomi and Mrs 2112. His words back then are finally ringing true.
But its gonna be a great day for all of us mate....
Ive never been so sure of us winning a game before as I am tomorrow, so yes I will see you at the bar for a toast to the Blues and a Premiership trophy.
I've just posted this in a Kinkladze thread...
"A man that held the beacon of light around those dark days. As a kid he made the day special, the drive to Moss Side, the walk to the ground, up the steps to the North Stand and wait....Wait for that one flick, turn, drop of the shoulder, dribble and shot.
All of this whilst my Dad to the side of me knew the bad times we were in, shelling out money for us to go that we didn't have really. Hopefully Kinky put a smile on his face too as he did mine."
I think for a lot of lads my age (28), Kinkladze is one of the only reasons why we hold optimism in this modern era. But after Howard Webb blew that whistle at Newcastle, looking around the stands and onto the pitch, that feeling of optimism took hold and I turned to my mate and said "That's it for me." (meaning I thought we'd done it). It's completely new to me, but I don't feel awkward feeling this way. It's genuine, and I think at that moment will be the time I look back and say I changed as a City fan.
