The day we won the Premier League (the first time), what was your gut reaction to Dzeko's equalizer? I felt quite pissed off about it. Just fuck off, I thought. Stupid dickheads, I thought.
Lovely words. That is exactly how i felt at the time too.
I'm glad you started this thread, because this is exactly how I felt at the time, and I thought I was the only one!
When we went 2-1 down, it felt like I was the only one in the stadium who thought we could still do it. The entire block around me were silent in shock. I was stood up screaming at the team, urging them on, I knew we could turn it around.
And then when Dzeko scored, weirdly enough I felt exactly like Pam and GX. I thought, what's the point, you've left it too late, you dickheads. If you'd done this 10 minutes ago we could have won it. Everyone around me in the stand got a surge of belief when Dzeko scored and was then urging the team on.
It was a strange situation because obviously looking at it logically and objectively now, we had far more chance of winning after Dzeko had scored. But while we were 2-1 down and it seemed like a lost cause, I actually had more belief. I thought it was my duty as a fan to keep supporting the team and urging them on. Probably borne out of the experience of blindly supporting us during the really bad years.
When Aguero scored, I genuinely didn't believe it was happening. It felt like being in the middle of an earthquake, or war zone or something, it was so incredible that I was questioning whether it was actually really happening.
