Nice post mate and glad you and Dad enjoyed your day at The Etihad.My first game live and I don't think I could've chosen a better one. My dad is a lifelong City supporter and as he retires next week, I thought it would be a nice present to give him a ticket to this game, the first for him as well. I've supported City all my life but I became a real hardcore fan listening to the City Gillingham game on a crappy real player stream back home in Sweden.
We were crying several times today because it felt so unreal being there with fellow Citizens and to see heroes like Vinnie and Kun score was just unbelievable.
What was sad was that we booked through an agency and got premium seats at 93:20. Around us were only a bunch of tourists that were more interested in taking selfies and film the game than actually supporting the team. When I sang Blue Moon (the proudest moment in my life), people stared at me as if I was mental. Not that I'd care anyway. When the person next to me said 'Our nr 25 is quite good, who is he?' I was about to freak out.
Thankfully, I was sitting quite close to south stand and that made me so proud. You got me laughing a lot when you sang 'sacked in the morning' to the medical team, hilarious!
All in all an absolutely wonderful experience and I thought the back four was great. Mangala seems like he will become world class and Sagna was impressive as well. I just hope that you keep up with the good atmosphere and that the stadium will keep it's core of real supporters. You will make Etihad a fortress!
Finally, my name is not a dig to Irishmen but a reference to 'noir' and film noir where everything's quite dark and depressing. That was how it felt for many years supporting City, but the future is blue, no doubt about it. Thank you City for everything!

Don't know what you lot have been sniffing but that was crap!!
Four bloody chances wasted before we scored. And what the hell have we beaten? Don't give me this "we beat the reigning champions of England" crap because the reigning champions wouldn't start a guest player who had such balance problems that he fell over every time he ran. And the reigning champions wouldn't take 70 minutes to register a shot on target. And the reigning champions wouldn't lose three nil. Would they?
And scoring from bloody corners. What's that all about? And we're too bloody predictable; 3-0 last week, 3-0 today, Silva's corner - Vinnie's head - goal last week, Silva's corner - Vinnie's head - goal today. And Mangala's twin brother is much better than the bloke playing last season (but he should have buried that header.
And then Dino recognised Costa's balance problem and thought an elbow to the head might cure the congestion in his inner ears. And why not; after all we know Jose doesn't like regular doctors.
And how do I change my user name to "Priced out of East Level 2"?
And the traffic wasn't any worse even though 7,000 more were there. And it looked fuller at full time that usual. And the new tier looks pretty good and the joins will look better if screens are installed.
And Jose is cracking up big style. And Fabregas is a cheating little shit.
And let's face it: We were bloody magnificent.
