That pic with the Good Sheikh centre looks as though they're watching the game from the Upper Bullens. Has that guy on the back row actually been scalped or is his head conveniently nestled in a head-shaped hole?

Ill be in Madeira with a wife who has just broken her foot in two places …should be a hoot.
Enjoy the trip bud.

Perhaps she shouldn't go to those places.

"This is a rare image. It was only the second time Sheikh Mansour had watched his team play since buying the club in 2008. He is next to City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak."

Oh yes, and somebody else reasonably important.......

went to the game and honestly dont remember much about it, watched it back in full last night for the first time, not our best performance but fair play to inter the almost pulled it off we defo deserved to win and that goal wow, but what i do have to say is how proud i am of the team the club and the fans im still on cloud nine, and i ask myself is this it is this as good as it gets will we ever feel so on top of it again.

I’m 65 in January; when I was 50 I hoped for a cup final. Never did I imagine what we’ve witnessed. I was in Istanbul, but I got very emotional at the fan park. You see my younger brother died in 2008 (the night we beat WHU in the FA cup 1-0j. I’ve missed him and yearned for him everyday since. The only success he ever witnessed was Gillingham and a couple of promotions. When the song ‘Stop crying your heart out’ was being played and everybody joined in, I lost my composure and had to be comforted by my niece, his daughter.

I have no great recollection of the match, just the goal and the torture of the last 15 minutes as Inter decided to play. Five mins to go, I thought of my brother and begged him to make City win, if he could! He came through, just as he did for us in 2011, 2012 and even last season v Aston Villa. At the final whistle I of course was delighted, but too emotional to savour the enormity of what our magnificent club had achieved. I cried for my brother and thanked him for looking out for us again. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that was my experience. 5 weeks,later, I now feel we have reached the pinnacle, our destiny and I feel complete now. Thanks Tony. X
