I thought it was quite boring outside that short period between August and May.
Me too. The week before that game the rags beat Blackburn in the last few minutes after we could only draw with Sunderland. At that point it looked like they were going to do it easily and their fans were gloating like fuck. Our West Brom victory coupled with their Wigan defeat a week later was the next turning point which gave us some hope. Can’t imagine another season being like that one although the Liverpool title win in April 2014 probably comes second.I hit a low point around the time of that Emirates defeat. Not just in terms of City, but also more generally. A rare bad patch in my life.
As Martin Tyler would say before eating a barm.It was stupendous.
Where to start, the introduction of Sergio in the very first game, the optimism after the 5-1 at spurs, the 6-1 at scum and their fans saying youve played no one yet (lol).
West brom wasting time so bad in the 0-0 followed by the offside 1-0 defeat to sunderland in stoppage time. The stress of that 3-2 home win against spurs with mario in trouble, defoe missing a sitter and finaly that last minute penalty, thank god we had mario to take it.That defeat at arsenal and rags taunting us with that no togetherness rant and Mancini reflecting the pressure by admitting they have everything and we have nothing.A rag colleague gloating about how no ones beaten fergie at mind games yet. That fantastic run in and finally realizing we could do it after the 2-0 at newcastle. All this and losing the carling cup semi after that unfair richards handball, that third round fa cup game to scum 3-0 down and Vinnie sent off and still rallying to almost draw, exiting champs league with 10 points, trouble with Tevez. Then finally that game, that in itself encapsulated the whole season in 93.20 minutes, hope, stress, controversy and lastly unbelievable elation, this is how I remember it. Can any scum fan have ever felt the same, I very much doubt it.
That nasri goal against Sunderland was so important.

I was in the Gents after the Sunderland game when one of their fans says to me that a point each was no good to either of us. Sunderland were in their annual relegation fight.
I just nodded, felt too downhearted to even ask what he was doing in the City end.
Turns out he could not have been more wrong as they stayed up and did us proud at the Stadium of Light when Sergio scored.
Funny old game.
We rescued a home draw against Sunderland at the death in both title winning seasons so an acceptable lapse :)Wrong season lads.
