Has the last month been the best in your life??

[Whether or not]

Brian?

No, but if Brian wants to make a contribution I’m not proud.

I’ve had better times overall, but this is high up in football terms. 2012 the highest light for me; back from the dead.
City are back, City are back, whoa-oh.
Never forget: Football doesn’t matter.

Be difficult to think of a better month, in all honesty I don't think it's actually sunk in yet what we have done.

The turnaround can be pinpointed to Liverpool at home. 1-0 down and Grealish runs back and does that tackle to stop Salah. A few minutes later and we equalise. We’ve only been losing a match once since them for 1/2 hour in the Bernabeau (a game that matters anyway)

Said a couple of times that, for me, the standout moments of this season were Grealish tracking back against Liverpool and Walker against Real. There’s a connection running through this team, this club, this manager and us the like of which I’ve never experienced before. Football’s cyclical and it won’t last forever so ‘drink it in’ and enjoy every moment!

I don’t believe I’ve ever cried at football but I tend to hate defeat more than I love winning.

It's a funny thing, but the great sportsmen — I mean the ones at the stratospheric level — all say the same thing.
Becker said something that really struck me. He said he didn't remember the victories, particularly (this is a guy who won Wimbledon at seventeen!). He only remembered the defeats.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Correct. We treat football as so much more than a game. And I'm as guilty as anyone in that regard; watching that game on saturday night was pure torture. But it really is only a game. Shankly was wrong all those years ago; it isn't more important than life or death. Okay; taking my serious hat off now; yeah, I've had worse months following this club.

:-D

It has symbolic importance. It is invested with symbolic importance. The way for some people, painting might be. Or for others, politics.
As such, in my view, it's not more important than life, but it's every bit as important as life, because it is life. We are the symbol-making animal.

Some friends of mine — good friends — have no interest in football whatsoever, or any kind of organised sports, and I think they are really perplexed by my engagement with it. But because it's me, although they take the piss sometimes, they basically respect it. It's very mysterious to them.
As for being fanatically attached to a particular club — well, it's obviously an atavism of being part of a tribe. For all I know being part of a herd of monkeys (herd? I don't think that's quite right…) back at the beginning of time. Think the beginning of 2001 A Space Odyssey. Think the animal bone being transformed into a football as it rises into the air in slow motion…
(Being a bit jokey here, but also serious at the same time).

Has for me. Since that Real Madrid game it has just been incredible. The collective joy on the parade last night a thing of beauty.

I've had a shit last 3 months in pretty much all other aspects of life apart from footy.
For reasons beyond my control i had to miss Wembley and Istanbul. The last proper game i went to was Arsenal. Since then i hadn't really felt i was 'involved' with the glorious end to the season. I'll go even further and say i was sulking because i'd missed out celebrating with all the other Blues.
On monday the trams and buses, or more precisely, lack of, had me turning for home 3 times on my way to town. I was walking back towards home when a passing Blue said, ''It's the other way mate.''
I had a word with myself, turned around and marched the last 2 miles into town. I will thank myself forever for doing that.
Finally i was surrounded by Blues enjoying being Blues and i dived in head first.
On the way home i felt a monkey had been lifted off my back and i could finally feel part of what is without doubt the best season i have ever seen.

I don't know how anyone can enjoy the final weeks of a season with titles/relegation at stake.

The last month has been a horrendous, stomach wrenching nightmare until the final whistle.

I've absolutely loved the last couple of days and will bask in the glory of our achievements all summer but then the pressure will start to build inside me again.

Yep, I really don't know why I put myself though with it. Every Saturday waking up dreading the worse, I've always been told to enjoy it, but when something is at stake, I just cannot at the time and only enjoy it when it's over, watching the matches back on TV or end of season DVDs.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

In a footballing sense, yes. Very much looking forward to the end of season DVD. @trevorcitytilidie will you have anything available for this?
