Just sent this my Dad, I’m sure it’ll resonate with some of you!

In these moments I think of City fans like yourself, born in 1970 and your earliest football memories will have been from just after we were good, from watching us in the 1981 FA Cup Final (MacKenzie’s goal was better than Villa’s) to watching David twatting Pleat celebrate our relegation, to suffering under Swales, to suffering under Franny Lee, to watching Alan Ball instruct his players to keep the ball in the corner during a 2-2 draw only for us to need a win to stay up, to watching us batter Stoke on the last day only to go down anyway and say goodbye to Kinkladze, to watching that Jamie Pollock own goal, to watching us lose at York away, to watching big fat fucking Bob Taylor put Gillingham 2-0 up and Tony club shop fucking Pulis celebrate on the touchline, to watching Dickov scoring passed both Andy Goram’s, to watching Goater scoring with every part of his body other than his actual foot, to watching City house an Arab and a Jew in midfield and it working brilliantly, to watching City starting with a hilarious strike force of Wanchope Dickov, to paying money to Prem Plus for a City vs Wigan game only for us to be 4-0 after 20 minutes and making me watch it as you’d paid for it, to watching us get taken over by tax dodging Thai bloke and still getting battered by Boro 8-1, to finally winning the lottery with Gods own club and winning the fucking lot, we’ll see things they’ll never see, you and I are gonna live forever! Dont forget the 6-1
I swear you’ll never see anything like this ever again, so watch it! Drink it in!”
