I’ve said this to a few people since coming home.
Since getting back I feel completely different. Not like a weight has been lifted per se, but an innate weird feeling like the pinnacle has been reached. Maybe along the lines of “What next?” Or “Nothing will ever top this.”
Sounds absolutely ridiculous I know. But in someways it’s like I feel completely differently towards everything. I blame Nevizade and its capturing of souls on that Friday and Saturday night.
Couldn’t agree with you more fella & I would gander a guess a fair few
Blues feel exactly the same.
We could indeed win another treble or even the unprecedented quadruple but I suspect last season’s triumphs will stay with us till our graves.
You’re right after getting over the line in Istanbul, I wasn’t the only one who broke down with relief as well as tears of joy.
Then onto the infamous Nevizade street where I met loads of like minded Blues who were great fun even the days prior to the match.
For better or worse Istanbul will certainly hold a place in my heart as a City supporter.
I can also predict having a large smile on my face well into my twilight years whenever I hear either Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere tune or Boney M’s Daddy Cool.
The latter was jovially played on the Turkish airline flight’s PA system by a cheeky young Blue half way to Istanbul.
After returning to these shores I’m still emotionally exhausted but content & extremely chilled about all things City most likely reaching its pinnacle as you put it.
Outsiders may hit us with further charges or rival supporters with snide & bitter remarks but they can never take away last season’s roller coast ride of fun filled memories & emotions.
