Happy Aguerooooo Day

Still, to this day, the best non-family moment of my life.

I wasn't there for the Gundogan goal due to other family circumstances (typical!) so I can't compare. But I just don't see how the Aguero goal will ever be topped given its importance and context.

Martin Tyler gets all the commentary credit but Peter Drury's is one of the best from that day too...'where does football go from here?!'

Was there for Gundo at Wembley, Rodri in Istanbul, Vinny vs both the rags and Leicester.
Nothing compared to this, and nothing ever could again.
 
We've gone on to achieve greater sporting feats but we will never again experience something as extraordinary as that, nor will anyone.

As has been said multiple times the noise was something different, it was primal; it was like nothing else you would encounter in a football stadium. The relief turning into unbridled joy and mayhem that ensued afterwards was the greatest celebration imaginable.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful little story about big love, it typifies the emotions felt by so many of us that go beyond football. It should be printed on cards to silence the nincompoops that say stupid things like 'it's just a load of overpaid prima donna's kicking a ball around'.

I actually missed the game as my daughter really wanted to go to the derby and I swapped my ticket so we could go together. I watched it with my nephew in a hotel in Guildford, he was missing his dad back in NZ, and I was missing my dad, who had recently died. Boy oh boy, what a time we had, laughing and crying, in between the final whistle and the trophy presentation, I phoned my mum, she'd turned off her TV and thought we'd 'mucked it up', I could barely get my words out for crying, telling her that we'd won, especially when she said 'they did it for your dad'.

Even though I missed the game, I wouldn't have changed the way I watched it, and who I watched it with for the world.
 
Best photo I've ever taken.

With it being our first prem title it is hard to argue against it being the best moment.

For me personally Villa topped it. I was there with my daughter and it was the first title she seen in the flesh. From a game perspective too, QPR had ten men and we was all over them, must have got 154 corners that game and constantly attacking. Villa game we looked dead and buried, hadn't created a chance and it was hard to see where one goal would come from, let alone 3.

Happy Aguero day though, what a man
 
Despite watching the goal a million times, I've just noticed something I'd never seen before thanks to those different angles.

Kompany makes a run off the ball in the centre forward position, driving towards goal and drags Nedum with him. That run means Nedum's then not quite able to get his tackle in on Sergio and the rest is history! Most of the time I just shudder at the idea of Nedum bringing Sergio down - he so nearly does, and us having to score a penalty to win it!

Can you imagine the panic we'd have all felt if that was the case?! Balotelli would have probably just backheeled it in.

Do you think we'd've been awarded one?
