It hasn't sunk in yet

My very very first game at CoMS was against Olympiakos in the Thomas Cook Trophy in 2005. If I remember i think a certain yaya toure was playing for them that time. To go from there to where we now has been a fucking rollercoaster. This doesn't feel real to me.
toure scored, ive just looked it up, i thought the thomas cook trophy was years before the etihad :)
 
I want to watch it again, I don’t want to watch it again. The biggest night of our matchgoing, matchwatching lives, and apart from Rodri’s strike, who can say they enjoyed that match? What a battle! This is something to savour for years and years, but for now…it’s almost too much. The lads fought their lives out there and prevailed to bring it home to sunny Manchester…and I feel like the guy who has won the lottery and wants to stick the ticket in a draw and forget about it for a week because it’s all too overwhelming! Cannot wait to get back to the Etihad and normality, now it’s off our backs! Joy, relief, exhaustion, quiet satisfaction, vindication…don’t know quite what to feel!
 
Looked at our Wikipedia entry for the Cup Winners Cup 1970 and it’s already been updated!

I've been awake since 6am on Friday morning. I'm absolutely shattered. Stood up on those shuttle buses for 3 hours last night. Landed in Birmingham an hour ago. On the train back to Manchester now and straight to the pub. Parade tomorrow and then sleep for a week (wake up for an hour at 9am 15/6/20)
 
I’m still here nice glass of red! Was last night real ? Or did I dream we won the big one?
 
Literally shaking when Rodri thunderbastarded in that goal. Couldn't believe it. And then the saves. Then the whistle. Spent most of yesterday walking round a wreck of anxiety and today we're floating in the clouds. It's immense. 100pts, Domestic Quad, Treble, Most Goals Scored. 93.20. Honestly feels like the FA Cup won us Manchester, The Premier League, England and the CL the continent! 31 years supporting this club. Seen us down fighting for our lives all the way to scaling right the way to the top of the pyramid. We bloody deserve this!

We truly see things they'll never see Blues!
 
Still in pure disbelief, just cannot put into words how I’m feeling. Couldn’t participate in the festivities, as I’d had an operation on Thursday. Had to celebrate with a coffee, will remedy that when I’m back on my feet haha. Still very emotional at the final whistle, wishing I could share it with my Grandad. He always maintained, “don’t you worry, they’ll come good one day”.
