Emotional moments courtesy of Manchester City.

I had a tear in my eye at the last game of the old Kippax.

2-2 vs Chelsea.
 
good topic, i was upset and confused when we sold Gary Flitcroft, was probably too young understand what was going on really! Was completely deflated when i spent the day in the gym purposely away from the tv when ipswich played away to charlton in 2000, week before we beat blackburn.. Charlton were already up and ipswich needed win to take it to last day. More recently, cried outside wembley before the semi against united, think it was a mix of nerves, excitement, fear and booze
 
Great topic

For me personally after many years of pain was the moment of watching sky sports news on transfer deadline day when we would usually expect to sign someone who we could only ever dream of and then the news came in if the takeover and the signing of Robinhio...wasn't what I as expecting and boy how the life of supporting city changed within the space of 10 minutes...took me a while to get over the shock
 
Outside of the major moments as a blue, I was in tears when we beat Spurs away in 2003, I was in a pretty low place in my life that weekend for reasons I won't go into, but me, my missus, and both kids were at whl, and to see us win there 2-0 was great. It was only 6 weeks earlier we'd lost 5-1 at home to arsenal, and 3 weeks earlier we'd lost 5-0 at chelsea away.

We only won 6 games after Jan 1st that season, but in typical city style we'd won away at spurs and liverpool, and of course lost our last ever home game at MR, and qualified for europe because we were the nicest team in england.

That spurs away win will always be in my heart though, for very personal reasons.
 
City made me cry for the first time when they sold Waggy to Wolves and then again on all the notable wins, losses, transfers, injuries, glories and debacles since. Since we won the cup V Stoke it has actually got worse! Man City making me cry as a kid and as an old codger! Even the thoughts of the King's return v Newcastle and Aguerooooooooo have set me off again. Out of them all I do find it very emotional when one of my Blue heroes passes away and this is happening far to often for me these days. RIP all of you who have given me so much.

When Yaya scored against Stoke followed by the final whistle was pretty special. Took me 34 years to see a bit of silverware being lifted knowing that this would be the first of many...... Special times we are in at the moment ( and the foreseeable future).

The final whistle of that for me... I've seen us win things before, but for this one.. so special for me personally...

You see (some of you know) my younger brother had died a couple of years previous, having never seen City win anything, despite having a season ticket for years...

In that cup run, we 'did it for Neil' if you remember... well, I also 'did it for Tony'... I carried his mass card which had his photo on...

When the final whistle went I held it aloft with my mates... (all post on here, so they know).. the emotions of that I can't begin to describe...

I carefully inserted his photo /Mass card behind and between the cladding at the rear of Level one at Wembley... it will be there forever, or until they pull it down...

Sorry if boring, but that is my story. And that was my most emotional moment ever watching City

For me, having to wait for two hours to hear the result of the QPR match, knowing it was 1:2 with minutes to go. I live in Germany and had gone to Berlin to watch the German cup final the day before. Desperate to get home to watch the match but ended up sitting in a jam for 7 hours. My mate was following the score on his iphone but with about five minutes on the clock he lost reception and we were stuck there without a signal thinking QPR had won for about two hours. Had basically reconciled myself the disaster of it when things got moving again and we got reception back. 3:2. Just the best feeling ever.

(Was nice to come full circle: my first ever match following city was the derby in 1990, and as far as I remember we were leading 3:1 with minutes to go. Was following it on the radio and called up a friend - City fan from Rochdale - to congratulate him, by which time we had conceded two, and it ended 3:3)
 
For those of us of a certain age, who 'grew up' watching Colin Bell, then being present at his come back game was something special. But for sheer emotion nothing can match that feeling when Sergio scored. The relief, the excitement, the joy, the pride and just about every other emotion known to mankind were on show in that split second. Whatever this club goes on to achieve in the future, and there will be many moments along the way to savour, to win the title, from the rags, in the manner we did, with the world watching - Stupendous !
 
Timing ejaculation to the moment the commentator shouts "Aguerrrooooooooooooo". Totes emoshballs.
 
I can remember playing Liverpool at Maine Road in December 1989 just after Mel Machin got sacked. I am sure it was before Kendall was appointed and it seemed like a last hurrah for that team before the pragmatic football played by the ex-Evertonians that arrived shortly after.

From memory City tried really hard but went down 1-4 to an experienced pool side. I had high hopes for that City team and they died that day
