HELP! - May 2012 celebration videos (YouTube) - a question?

just took a half-hour to watch this again:

<a class="postlink" href="http://mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Match-highlights/2012/May/City-v-QPR-extended-highlights" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Match-highligh ... highlights</a>

Paddy Kenny playing like a man possessed, Barton doing his best to get three red cards, and that's before an utterly unbelievable sequence of events and emotions were released..

- what a way to win a championship...

Bloody brilliant. Cheers for posting it and making it easy. Nearly two years on and still chokes me up watching this. And I don't even know the fella. Can only imagine what it's like for his son, daughter, brother, wife watching this.

First time I've seen that one don't know how I've missed it before.

Thanks for the great start to the weekend....goosebumps, watery eyes and a slight runny nose. It just got to me.

The club could do worse than showing that on Sunday to the players, some weren't there and it sums up what it means to us middle aged and older supporters.
 
Fuck me what a day. It actually makes me upset that I will never experience a moment like that again in my lifetime. Fans of other clubs are starting to hate us now but I think if they watched the scenes from that day again they would realise that we deserve all this, just the pure emotions of the fans after that goal shows that.

Anybody else reckon there must have been loads of people in the stadium without a ticket that day and just seat shared, ie attendance over 48k? Just watched a few videos of the pitch invasion and despite the several thousand on the pitch there wasn't that many empty seats on the bottom tier.

Even if we won it the same way again this year (God forbid, my nerves or heart couldn't take it again), it can never be the same, can it? May 13th 2012, at 4:54pm, marked the end of a harrowing, painful, yet necessary, journey. A 44 year odyssey in the footballing wilderness. That's why winning it again this year (just two years on) just can't be the same.



I'll take it though!

yep even if its just as close and just as dramatic this year and it very well could be, that was the first ( for me anyway ) and won't ever be matched

Guessing that could be his son hugging him as they're coming off the pitch. And a haunting version of Blue Moon as well

Its the first time I have watched this since the match.

My video of the moment we won it will live with me forever.

That's brilliant mate. I thought I had seen every video of that moment but don't think I'd seen that one. Should be part of a multicam version with the one shot from pitch level near Mancini.
 
I've watched City for 25 years and nothing before or since has or will ever eclipse that moment. Gillingham came close but that is the single greatest moment in my life. Nothing beats it. I still wonder "what if". I still wonder if Aguero had gone down if we'd have got a penalty. I still wonder whether we would have scored it.

After the game was quite eventful for me. My mate who I go the games with lives in London and after the match he dropped me off at the pub before heading back to the smoke. Some hours later after consuming my own body weight in beer I wobbled off home, only to realise that I'd left my one and only set of house keys in his car. I live in an apartment block so there was no chance of breaking in. Very fortunately, my mam was able to drive me down to Birmingham and my mate drove up from London to meet us with the keys. Think I finally managed to get in about 3am, by which time the lack of alcohol had resulted in a mega hangover kicking in!!! What a day!!
