The best Youtube video ever >>>

I genuinely think that even in 40
Years time when I'm a right old miserable **** that video will still reduce me to tears of joy. They can never take that day away from us.
 
Without exaggeration I must have watched this vid a minimum of 500 times.

And , again, no exaggeration to say it STILL makes my whole body "goose bump" all over. And then the tears come. It's amazing. I honestly cannot imagine any event in our future, and I include winning the champions league, affect me so much.

In the space of 19 seconds from the throw in to the goal, my (our) whole life as a city fan was perfectly encapsulated. From utter , complete, life altering despair and complete tragedy, to the most euphoric, most unexpected, most unmitigated and complete, joy. All that and also the knowledge, the absolute certainty, that the city we fell in love with, that tripped us up time after time, destroying our weekends, annihilating our happiness week after week for (in my case) over 40 years was gone. Amd not only gone, but had Infact served only to make THAT moment all the sweeter.

Typical city indeed to kill you with the odd bit of hope over the years (Spurs and West Ham quarter finals), 81 cup final, promotions ("we're back") followed by relegations, some in utter slapstick ("keep it in the corner Lomas") had all been leading up to that Sergio moment. In one simple second all the hurt had meaning, and with that meaning, it disappeared, forever.

Perfect perfect moment. Perfect day. Perfect video.

Great sentiments. Whatever we do next, that day will just never be topped. Ever. There were just so many memorable moments that season: our first foray in the CL, (we were quite unlucky not to go through), the 5-1 demolition at WHL, 6-1 at OT, The see-saw game against Spurs at home, (2-0 up, then 2-2, Defoe missing a great chance to win it for Spurs in the last moments, then Balotelli winning it from the spot in the last minute), Tevez being banished, looking like he'll never play for us again, then returning, the derby to go top and take our destiny in our hands, won by Kompany. All of that leading up to Aguero's title winner. With all that had gone on before it, that moment was perfectly set-up. I get misty eyed thinking of season 2011-2012. It was simply wonderful.

Never say never. When the rags won Champs league in 99 could you ever envisage a time that we would once again become top dogs in Manchester? No one could have predicted what has happened. The same as no one could have predicted Leicester being favourites for the Prem while City and the Rags are scrambling for 4th and Chelsea are floundering mid table.
If I've learned anything supporting City for the past 40 odd years, it's that you can't take anything for granted.
 
I've probably watched this 50 times since it first appeared nearly 4 years ago now. I hope the person who created it made some money from it, because it's a great piece of work.

Can't imagine a football moment will ever better that Aguero goal. The noise was inside the ground was immense - it hurt my ears and I was making some of it!
 
does anyone know how to find the video of the old fella walking across the pitch to cowboy junkies Bluemoon ? i love that video
