For some people I know that was the closest they came to having a washNot for a minute whilst wading through the piss in the Kippax bogs…!

Never imagined it and feel blessed to see it. Last night, after each goal, you could just see people craning their necks at the screens in awe at this pinball wizardry we're producing. It's not so much the silverware, but the chapter that's being written in the play. This is why when people call City fans 'glory hunters' it winds me up no end. How we can be glory hunters and have 'empty seats' at the same time? We are neither, we are a true people's club that came through and came good. Apart from the fact all the Rags my age I know only started supporting United in the early 90s, whether City are successful or not, they would still be my local team. They represent the streets I walk, but even that's only part of it. Winning makes following City easier it's true but that's not what's it's about. Whether you are from Gorton, Manchester or Gorton, Massachusetts, we all feel a personal connection with the colours and the story. And we should never feel guilty for being successful. I've told my kids, thirty years from now, when you're my age, Pep will have long retired and things may be very different, so don't think City is about winning by four, five, six goals every game. But enjoy these times because they will sustain you through whatever the future holds. How many Blues saw Bell and Summerbee as kids and never fell out of love however bad things became? These times are there to remind us how great we are, and how great we can be, even when we're not great!On the 1st September 2008 we all dreamed big, but did you ever in your wildest dreams believe we would see what we have in the last few seasons?
It's frikin ridiculous to think how far we have come from exactly 14 years ago today!
