These last fifteen years

It’s been incredible and we are so lucky it happened to us
I can remember being a young teenager sat with my dad and grandad watching United tonk us 5-0 and whingeing about the bashing I was going to get in school ( I’ve always been the only blue in all my groups of mates to this day )
It led to my dad and granddad arguing after my grandad told me along the lines of “ you tell them I remember us beating them 5-0 at their place back in 1943 “ ( probably not exact but something like that ) and my old fella saying what good that going to do him tomorrow and rolling his eyes.
I remember saying I’m just annoyed cos they get to have all these great days and trips to Wembley and I’ll never see City ever win a trophy
So for us to have done what we’ve done in these last 15 years really was beyond my wildest dreams
The start of it all really does stand out more than the rest for me though, the 2 seasons we won the FA cup then the league will never be matched for me even if we won the quadruple
The signings, Agueros debut, the FA cup semi against United, the 1-0 Kompany header game v United, the 6-1 at the swamp, Newcastle away Toure, the songs, it was probably the happiest 2 years of my life
Since those days I’ve never called a player or manager or manager’s decision, I’ve had my opinions on who I rate or don’t and will give it on here but I will never in conversation say “ such and such was shit today “
There’s just so many positives to take from 99% of games it amazes me the first thing people want to do is criticise
Grealish was quiet today and had no effect on the game yet an 18 year old local academy lad just bossed the midfield, why would your first comment on the game be “ Grealish is shit “

You’re experiencing more than 99.9% of football fans ever will, appreciate it and enjoy it fellas,

A win today will destroy a few hearts around the league so fingers crossed, just hope he doesn’t start that fuckin Nunes, can’t believe we paid 60 million for that show pony
 
Regular parking spot at Goodison, Anfield, Ewood, Burnley and Sid James Park is usual.
Many City fans now have a regular parking spot at Wembley as well.
 
I remember in 2005, having my picture taken with the PL trophy in the main Barclays branch in Liverpool and joking with the security guards that as a City fan, this this was the nearest I'd ever get to the trophy. Three weeks ago I had my picture taken with the treble trophies, which we'd won the previous season and had been at the Etihad, Wembley and Istanbul to see us presented with those.
