The moment the ball left his foot, time stood still n it seemed silent until the net rippelled and I was engulfed by people I don't know in a tidal flow of emotion. I ended up several seats away n remember shouting in tears to my mate "we only gone n won the fuckin league"....best day of my life

If they could get Kun and David Silva over together I think it would bring the house down but seeing either of them again at the Etihad would be amazing.Its hard to really put into words what he's done for our club and the memories he's given us. Hopefully the club get him over for a game soon and we can give him the send off he really never got last season.
Being a Blue of a certain age.
My journey as a City fan started a lot different to youngsters supporting us today.
When i was a kid it was Rag shirts everywhere.
I still proudly wore my City shirt, and dreamed that one day we would be where we are at now. I never really expected it tbh. I was both jealous of our neighbours, and hated their fan base, that constantly took the piss out of us at every opportunity. Much blood was spilled back then in School Yards.
So many years of pain, up, and down, like a Yo-Yo, boardroom drama. We were referred to as the Soap Opera Club.
Still we all kept going, narcissist the lot of us :-). It must be said our fan Base has always been incredibly loyal. The journey we took nearly finished Newcastle off .Not us... we broke records for followings at some of the worst grounds in England. Back in those days I went home and away. I wasn't at York away though :-)
Rags hung that timer Banner at the Swamp. Sure it was only a Banner, some will say just a bit of Footy banter. For me it was a constant reminder of under achievement. Every year they added a new digit.
Then that goal came..............A grown arsed Man sat here was crying like a Baby that day. I never ever thought in my life time we would win the League.
Strangely It took me straight back to Maine Road in my Mind, as a young Kid playing Footy on the Croft in an imaginary City side kicking the Ball at the blue exit doors from all angles celebrating scoring City goals that won us Titles.
Kun literally made my dreams come true that Day.
I saw that banner ripped down.
I will love him until the day i die,
Thanks for making that Kid dreams come true Sergio.
Tearing up again here :-(.

Two legends
I was so excited when he signed - all the reports on him suggested he was a good striker who was ready for a new challenge and the question was whether he could carry on scoring in the Premier League. That first match showed he was up to it - two wonderful goals that acted as a prologue to the goals he would scored - 6 yard box and 25 yard screamers.
And what a player we had - every sort of goal possible - but more than that - the perfect player to grow and develop with the club. We owe him so much, but I think he was the better player for coming to us rather than an obvious route to Barcelona or one of the Italian teams. His achievements were amplified by being part of the growth to dominance of Manchester City.
and the goals - that one against United from Kolorov's cross (how did he get to it in the first place) the one where he ran across the United defence before crashing it in, the one against Liverpool after Bernardo's jinking run into the box, the hatrick v Bayern, the one that broke the record at Napoli, so so many - such a pleasure to watch him over the years. here's hoping he can find good things to do in retirement.

Just been a privilege to live through and witness the Sergio Aguero era. We've been so lucky, as most football fans rarely get to witness anything remotely on the same scale as that moment on May 13th 2012. It was one of football's defining and iconic moments and he delivered it.
