I was annoyed when Dzeko equalised.

I was thinking in my head. Where can I hide in this stadium until August!
I don't think I even twitched when Dzeko scored.
I made up for it when Aguero scored though.

Trust city to wipe away 44 years with, not just a normal run of the mill league title win, but one of the most famous moments in the history of English football

I guess it was never gonna happen any other way really

I think it was THE most famous. A moment in time that you really couldn't have made up but that City actually delivered.

It has to be.

Michael Thomas' goal for Arsenal at Klanfield was a moment-defining goal, but it pales in comparison to Agüerooooooooooo, IMHO.
 
The Aguero moment, the build up, aftermath etc could definitely be made into a film....this is/ was the most famous moment in British club football, even fans off other clubs say 'they' get goosebumps watching it.....the Aguero moment was defining for every football fan because it gives you hope, the thought that one day it might be YOU!!!
 
And another thing, two days later, my wife, daughter and I, wrote down our thoughts and feelings of the day, its incredible to read it back, the feelings etc
Three days later I was still getting palpitations thinking.....what if Aguero had missed......
 
It felt like I was watching Kevin Horlock smash it in from the edge of the area.

From that point, I truly felt it was happening. Just an eerie connection to the Gillingham game.

It's been talked about before, but what if the QPR player had been a split second quicker and took Sergio out. Penalty to win the league. I'm sure Mario would have stroked it in as though it was just another training penalty, but what would those 2 minutes have been like waiting for him to take it. Can't even begin to imagine it!!
 
Surprised by some of the response. I literally said out loud "game on!". I was dead certain we would win when he scored. Right up until then I didn't think we had any chance of scoring at all. Which is kind of funny now that I think of it. I
 
I used to run fairly popular football website MySoccerplace.net (yeah, yeah, I know, I didn't want football in it so those yanks wouldn't come for their rugby thing), lot of you probably watched highlights videos and downloaded full matches there, that's where this MSP is coming from...

I had fights (mostly) and (few) banters with Rags whole season on website's Facebook page and in 90th minute I posted a status - "I'm turning my Internet off for a week or two. Don't want to get eaten alive here." You can bet they loved each letter of that status and took piss of me immediately.

4 minutes later I posted just "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", and that was followed with salves of "fuck off you ****" :D

BTW, can't recall how I felt when Dzeko scored, probably "doesn't even matter now" but as final minutes were coming, I never thought we'd score twice, my best hope was ours and Sunderland's equalizer.

Mourinho's Inter did similar stuff in CL semis at Camp Nou. He said he instructed them to give them the ball as soon as they get it so they don't lose a defending shape.
 
Pissed off. Thought it's too late now. The only City goal I didn't feel jubilant about. Too late. The fans around me were aroused and interested but I didn't move an inch. And then moments later..........
 
It felt like Super Kevin Horlocks goal at Wembley 99.
Too little too late.
Then the euphoria
 
I couldn't get a ticket for the day, so me and a few mates went to mary D's to watch it. I lasted until the 70th minute and just couldn't stand it any more so se left and stood outside the stadium. 5 minutes later I just had to leave and go home. I was emotionally wrecked. I was in the back of a black cab just about to get on the M602. Me and my mate were sat there and we could hear the game in the radio very quietly. As we went up through the gears entering the start of the motorway at Ordsal roundabout, the taxi driver said "oh you have just scored". I looked at my mate, we made eye contact and just shook our heads, didn't even utter a word, we didn't need to. Sat in the outside lane of the M602, I stare at the meter, it was nearing £20. We had just gone underneath the famous Eccles Glass Bridge, and the taxi driver started saying "you've scored, you've scored". My mate mumbled to turn the radio up on full volume, I thought the driver was lying, and I would have punched the **** in the face if he was. The radio went up, and then it hit us what had happened. The taxi was ordered to turn around, and back to the Etihad we went. So basically, the length of the M602 my life had changed. The start of it typical city had kicked in, by the end if it we were champions.

Interesting but by doing that they have put pressure on themselves straight away whereas a conventional restart they could of gone backwards to the goalkeeper and run the clock down and no aguero moment.strange to think it was that decision at that moment that effectively changed the history of mcfc

Just think what you have gone through if he had gone down and it had been a Mario penalty with the last kick to win the league !!!
 
I was like Oh My God, how fucking cruel, typical City, so close, how can you do this to me you bastards... and then :)

get over it bollocks. I will talk about that day until the cows come home.

I had not given up hope even before he scored, because although we needed two goals to go in, in not many minutes, a goal at Sunderland was just as good for us as scoring ourselves. I knew I was clinging on to hope by my fingernails but I had not let go. When Dzeko scored we only had a couple of minutes left, but there were still a couple of minutes left at Sunderland also. I got excited when he scored, because there were still two chances for us to win the league: one by Sunderland equalising, the other a goal from Aguerooooooooo.....
