This day will live with me for the rest of my life, as it was the day that I realised that my 6 year old son would also become a life long blue.
I always encourage him to never give up in everything he does and hat he should always fight to the end, however at 2-1 down and with 4 minutes to go, I was the one slumped in my seat telling him it was all over!
Don't give up dad he said, I could see the tears welling up...what if we score? What if Sunderland score? He said. It's over son, it's over...I reply.
Dzeko scores and he's up cheering, while I'm still sat in my seat...We've scored dad, what's up?he asked.
It doesn't matter son, it's not enough, it's still over,I replied...
Suddenly NDJ has the ball and is advancing in slow motion,everything is moving in slow motion,until the ball leaves Agueros boot and the whole world explodes at lightning pace, I'm holding him in my arms and want the moment to last forever,we've done it dad he screams as tears flood out,It was that moment that I realise he is a blue for life.
He recently entered a completion on the City website, where you had to write a poem about anything City related. Unfortunately he came second place with this effort.
On a bright day in May
Manchester city came out to play
One more win was all we needed
Don't lose now, the crowd they pleaded.
After 44 years of pain
Could it happen again?
They came from wide and far
To watch City play QPR
Come on City one final push
Take it easy, no need to rush
Then just before half time, could it get any better
A wonderful goal from Pablo Zabaleta
The second half starts, and we're all in a daze
Cisse scores as we watch with amaze
Then Mackie scores another and suddenly it's 2-1
The league is over the trophy has gone...
It's finished at Sunderland united have won it,but wait a minute.
silva takes a corner, Dzeko scores and we're right back in it!
Surely it's not possible it's too late now...
Aguero,Balotelli,Agueroooooooooooooooo
It's all over and City have done it
I can't believe we've finally won it
Tears and laughter are all around
As we make our way out of the ground
We are the Champions,and dad lifts me up
To say I love you, we've won the Cup!
