Some more lingering thoughts as my words begin to take shape.. found myself sitting in a heap on the floor Saturday night, wrapped in my City flag.. in disbelief. Speechless, shattered, broken in the best way possible.
I have been a City fan since 02-03.
My dad is a United fan. Tried to get me to support them but I couldn’t bear to listen to him at that age 😂.
My rebellious nature lead me to City. I chose this club (to stick it to my dad) and somehow.. here we are. I grew to love Sun Ji-Hai for some reason and loved that we were underdogs. I really had no idea how bad we were. I honestly thought Keegan was our savior. Then Shinawatra. I had no clue.
I knew we weren’t as good as United. It was all my dad talked about but I don’t recall being particularly sad because I had 0 expectations. I just remember being happy about having my own thing. I didn’t cry about losing to Oldham in the FA cup and I remember finishing 15th in the league one year, cheering for Joey Barton as our lead scorer another when we scored 29 goals in an entire season.. only to lose to United 1-0 in our final home game. What a ride.
The club has undeniably changed since then due to investment and success but honestly, who we are at the core hasn’t. And I’m so happy it didn’t.
This is a club that has seen it all. This is a fanbase that was packing out stadiums, 30,000+ in the lower divisions. This is a club whose fans chose to support them through thick and thin, when the future wasn’t certain at all.
People can say whatever they want. But to be here.. 3peat, treble, European champions.. nobody, nothing can take this away from us. One of the greatest footballing sides of all time.. we know what we are. And you, the fans, deserve every single moment of this joy.
Thank you @ManCity.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
You’ve given me a lifetime of happy memories and I will love you forever.
CTID.
