All our lives we have supported City.
There were far more lows than highs, but it never mattered.
We loved City, come what may.
Relegations were so hard to take, with those pricks at the Swamp endlessly gloating at 'lickle Citeh' but we persevered. We continued to support our Club through thick and thin. We never wavered, our love was true. We took the taunts, we braved the storm, we put up with the constant digs.
We sometimes wondered why we felt this way, but we never gave in. Somehow, somewhere in the dark realms of our consciousness, we believed. Half of us didn't even know what it was we believed in - we just believed.
We dared to dream, whilst others laughed at us and mocked us.
We blocked our ears, we dismissed their sniping, we knew that we were destined for success. This was 'God's own Club' we countered and we ignored the pain. They looked on and some sympathised, others empathised but all believed us severely deluded. We spoke and wrote about how 'the future is blue' and we knew that our time would come.
We always knew our time would come.
Well, guess what?
Guess what, blue brothers and sisters?
Our time has come.
This CITY is OURS. ;o)
Well Done, Brilliant post could not have put it better myself, tear in my eye watching City' s best moments of 2011
