I was annoyed when Dzeko equalised.

[mad4city]

I was sat in level2 family stand(back row)& after balloonatelli had the chance from the corner which paddy Kenny saved

I didn't particularly appreciate it at the time but, what I best remember about that particular save was thinking that it was one of the greatest saves I'd ever seen and wasn't that just typical of our luck.

Believe it or not, I know a United fan who is convinced that Paddy Kenny threw that game. Seriously!

You're a tad harsh on Mario, by the way. His introduction that day changed the game. They were terrified of him at the next corner, allowing Dzekoooooo to strike and well, you don't need me to tell you about his part in the third goal. Bear in mind, he was also motm in the 2011 Cup Final, too. A great player when he wants to be, is Mario.

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 c**t 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.

That story reminds me of a guy we met outside the stadium when we came out.

He'd driven up from London without a ticket, and couldn't obtain one on the day, so he sat outside.

Eventually, he'd had enough and decided to return home. Edin scored when he was on the Mancunian Way and just as he was passing the swamp Agüerooooooooooo happened.

So he decided to turn around, obviously. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met him!

 

[Silvas_Left_Foot]

It's strange, some of the moments from those last 10 minutes seem really clear and yet others blurry. Can remember the dzeko and being fuming that we were one goal away, after that my brother saying Gillingham to me and then aguero scoring, taking a couple of seconds to look at the linesman and then after that it's kind of difficult to remember!

 

[urmston]

One thing I recall from the last few minutes v QPR is looking around at other people in the crowd and seeing the look of absolute horror on their faces and realising that's what my face looked like too.

I remember thinking that I'd have a terrible memory to cope with for the rest of my life.

 

[m7mcfc]

I was annoyed when we thought 2-2 was good enough against the micky's. Don't get me started on the Full members cup final.

 

[SJC]

I know exactly what you mean Pam, I didn't even flinch for the goal. The 15 mins or so from there 2nd goal to the second before Aguero's goal were horrible horrible feelings that a football club shouldn't make you feel like. It's why football is the greatest game on the planet. I couldn't even breath in the stadium, I just wanted to get out and watch it back to make sure it was real.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I watched that match in The Green. Packed out with blues. Nobody reacted very much when Dzeko scored. It was just peope looking round at each other thinking "too little, too late". Complete pandemonium at the Aguero moment, though. If anybody's got any photos from in there from that day, or even better, a vid, if they could post them or send them in a PM, I'd really appreciate it. I have nothing except my memories (which will suffice till my dying day, need it be said…)

 

[arMOon]

When we were 2-1 down girlfriend said I was sinking further into settee as if trying to hide, then Edin scored and I was on my hands and knees in front of TV. When Sergio scored I booted dining room door open and just legged it round house, remember thinking ill fix door tomorrow(ODD),then I just stood in front of TV and cried.

great story that.
did you get in?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Am I only one who just knew we were going to do it after Dzeko scored?

 

[Blue Maverick]

Stood in the SS we didn't know who had scored I was sober as I'd wanted to take it all in was regretting it I kept looking at the exit thinking fuck it I'm off I won't be able to handle the rags id turned my phone off, my mate who was pissed as a fart just put his arm around me gutted, as I'm stood on the aisle and the ball went forward with De Jong it was like been pulled with him as the ball went in I end up about twenty rows down on the steps with bodies on top of me I just couldn't believe it. I remember coming off the pitch after the final whistle and I just sat in a seat on the front row as balled my eyes out the emotions had been too much afterwards I couldn't even get pissed I was in such a high.

 

[CelesteItis]

I thought come on there's still time.

Then Nasri let that ball for the Rs to throw in and I went berserk yelling at him (actually at the telly screen with the Argies' foxsport). On hindsight what Samir did, helped open their two banks as they had to move up the field for the throw in.

Next sort of blurry: NDJ had recovered the ball, moved slowly, passed to Kun, performs a one two with Super Mario, and finally total madness.

That's a moment nothing can beat it, greater than Escape to Victory for a movie.

great story that.
did you get in?

Yes. Sneaked in through the away section, so there I was stood in the second tier of the QPR away section cheering as the trophy was paraded around.

 

[mancunial]

I had spent the previous two weeks in Thailand on an absolute bender with two other blues, we were arriving home on the Saturday morning before the game. The problem was as soon as I got back I was being picked up and taken to Blackpool on a stag party then back the next day for the game. Now we had watched the united and Newcastle games in a bar in pataya but that story will be told another day. My youngest son and myself have s tickets in 110, my eldest grandson had been texting and texting me all the time whilst I was in Thailand to let him have my ticket for qpr, so I was thinking being a soft fkr ok al you were at Newcastle 68 let your grandson go. I got back from Blackpool still jet lagged and still pissed out of my brains. So my grandson went with my youngest son. I had this Thai girl messaging me all the way through the game when we were 2/1 down in 88th minute she said Buddha will make sure you win, as she said everyone was watching over there. I was crapping it every emotion under the sun, when Dzeko scored she text again saying, Buddha say you win this now, then bang the letting out of pure emmotion I thought nothing would top Newcastle 68 but this was something else, by the end of the game my jet lag and My head had cleared, I was just glad my son and grandson were there to see it unfold,it definitely wants to make you turn to Buddhism, it was a dream, did it really happen !

 

[BillyShears]

Was in the Waldorf. Let out a war cry of "remember Gillingham!".

 

[mancitypj]

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.

I think that was the reaction of a lot of people. My words were something like "too fucking late now".

^^^This^^^, I'm afraid.... should have had more faith!

 

[Matt.D]

Never saw it live, was pacing around from block to block. Some c*nt was running round saying United are drawing when Dzeko equalised so as soon as I heard the cheer was trying to get clarification of their score. Just got back to my seat in time for Sergio's winner.
