Watch it … Drink it in …

Is that a fact? Never noticed that. But for me that makes it even more beautiful. We move into some alternative time in those last few minutes. Where anything can happen, especially what you've stopped believing in.

Good point, as I was in the stadium I had no clue how long was left or if we had enough time to get the winner after Dzeko scored!
 
Peter Drury's commentary on the Villa game was more suited to this one. "From catastrophe to cacophonic joy." I have watched that game back a couple of times, the full game and it was every bit as guy wrenchingly awful and depressing as I remember it, all until Aguero's shot hit the back of the net.

Like others have said I was terrified QPR might equalise. As soon as they kicked it out of touch from the restart I knew we'd come to an agreement and we'd be okay. I still though we had longer to endure though.

City have provided the Premier League with its two most memorable finales by a mile. Drama and excitement that couldn't be written.

*We* are the great entertainers. ;-)

As much as the PL complain/scrutinise/penalise everything we do, and act as if the league would be better off without us, I reckon we (and Pep) have contributed more to the rise of the PL as the dominant football league around the world over the last decade than anything they (or any other club) has done during that time.

The PL would be markedly less appealing without us providing drama and the pantomime villain.

And the PL will massively miss Pep when he eventually goes. He has changed the game in England (both domestically and at the international level) and has created new, immensely marketable rivalries, the biggest one with Klopp, which the PL has capitalised on to a near infinite extent to further market the brand. In some ways City/Pep actually made Liverpool relevant again.

They should be overjoyed to have the current iteration of City in the league.

But most of them are short-sighted, near-term benefit, corrupt morons that can barely plan a couple of months ahead, much less think in terms of the long-term future of the league.

The clock doesn't run past 90 mins at Fleetwood or Burnley assume it's a league directive so fans in the ground can't influence referee to blow the whistle. If this is the case it's bloody stupid as we need to have an idea when time is up. If they announce the injury time it is always a "minimum of x minutes".
Myself would love to go back to one or two minutes added time and ten minute half time so matches over about 4 40 not 5pm, but we would have had no Gillingham or 93 20.

I think it's actually a FIFA directive that's in place globally. Less to do with fans and more to do with stopping players, managers and coaching staff putting pressure on the ref or indulging in various other dark arts connected with influencing when the final whistle eventually gets blown.
