I have a definite memory of the moment when he was spewing positive energy, everything seemed to freeze in time, it goes beyond what you could have reasonably prepared for, even before he hit it. I think he was ready to go. I knew it when he touched me. he would go to school where I and everything today when where I come from I mean able to scream and half of this will be a shopping center. I will remember something behind this script just couldn't be more extraordinary if my eyes had really gotten this right. I swear I will never do something like that again.

I have been around the football club and its various forms for a long period of time and that phrase which I heard several times, I heard it a lot that morning, could be the typical meaning of the city. they have built this into their cards down 16 United a level on the point city have to win knowing United will win their game at Sunderland my heart said Manchester City are too good all they had to do was beat Queens Park Rangers at home easy City fans knew deep down that this was the most winnable home game they could win.

I thought they were certainties. I thought it was absolutely a thing since City's press officers are always so welcoming, but they're just die-hard blues and you'd shake their hand and look them in the eye and wish them luck and you could see the nerves, it was completely packed with people, people have become proper journalists from all over the world, you look around and see. the heavyweights have arrived from the Gazzetta dello sport anything in France many people have written obviously without knowing Manchester City and their story has started to be written right now journalists before the match are welcome - squeaky ass Sunday oh one last day as a Premier League season Queens Park Rangers obviously had a problem: they weren't just here doing the numbers on the last day of the season they were playing to stay in the Premier League in terms of the ability of the two teams you would have thought. that the city would win in a reasonably easy way, my God, it was the simplest, most simple afternoon you will ever see in any sport in your entire life 44 years 22 coaching changes five relegations and five promotions Mensch in the city standing on the edge of the glory again the city will become only the fifth different name in the role of honor if it is Queens Park Rangers there will be tears you know that will be feared I knew it before they told me I knew it from the The fans around me have no goals , but there has been one where I see Manchester United leading the pressure on Manchester City only against Queens Park Rangers at home, but his goal as a warrior is always the word that always comes to mind about Pablo, I don't think .

It could have been more popular, I could send it, people were starting to believe it, but you always feel a little sick, he comes, you're thinking how is this all going to go wrong, it has to continue somehow, it's hard to edit Last time that I talked about the viewers behind us, they weren't ready to party because of the im

cy of the deadlines, especially now in their digital ad, usually especially for a Sunday or evening game. Yes, he begins to write with difficulty during the I probably started a half-time to dare to start writing the glory, where is the cup of tea and a biscuit?

And so we continue today, 45 minutes of setbacks where we are in the press room, your microphone, which is brilliant, so they were turning around all the time partly for updates on what was happening with Manchester United partly because they didn't want to see what unfolded in that extraordinary moment when QPR were fighting for their lives they got right back into it Queens Park Rangers hadn't read the script, I can almost remember Listening to her mhm, the CCAC saw that we are currently going backwards in the other direction and the instinctive pessimism of City fans appears again.

The anxiety around that stadium is hard to find the words to describe, but it can be felt tangibly. It's agony. rule of football before the ecstasy if it is to come there has to be a period of agony all the tension clearly affected the QPR players as well as the cities and it affected him more than anything perhaps even thinking deep down that it could have been a part of it and it never works, obviously the connections here weren't pretty Joey Barton in the spot again who he handed the Magister Scipio title song to, but there was also that complaint that if any club couldn't beat a group of 10 men in trouble without I wish they were 60 because of their history, but this was a major moment in their favor.

I've stopped trying to protect anything in football. This couldn't happen. Could they be reduced to 10 men? That put the cat among the pigeons. Here, wasn't it really good? Jamie Mackie Nods Manchester City towards heartbreak on the final day of the season. It's a typical city, a typical city. I had that phrase in my mind. I have spoken to Manchester City fans since I have been here and all over the country and some of them left for that round the truth is well their tears are no longer done boy when you are working for the club's commentary channel and you are trying not to be biased but with emphasis on the Club you are trying to keep a positive attitude but when Mackey scores the place was completely deflated you couldn't help but feel for these fans who showed up expecting to have a party, the appearance of finding a party among some of the city's fans.

I think our team is like that. It was clear when I saw this woman who came out and I described it possibly a little unfairly, as if she had just staggered out of a car, because at the time I was looking for a long trip, Meritor, about how that seems to be something about "The core of most of the life skills. I think in the last few minutes of the game a lot of attention was gone and that might have been what helped the players on the field because most of the fans sitting around us were thinking if that would fit in there. .

I'm sitting there not thinking this is not going to go away so Charlie told me Charlie Charlie Nick and Tom I said well director do you think there will be drama, there will definitely be drama in this game, something is going to happen In injury time or? for Fergie's climbers, as I called it, it was just one of the most incredible passages of play I've ever witnessed and suddenly the corner came when Jacko's header hit the net, your first response is to look. your watch to save yourself 4 minutes to find that crowd. I remember telling my producer, who got a little emotional.

I remember saying well this is the city that only makes it worse, the slightest hope is the hope that keeps killing them for years, the other subplot of course was that the news was reaching QPR and they were getting calls straight to the bench , one of their antecedents that had gone to the game that affected their relegation problem. QPR were on their feet, they had nothing left there. Only 10 of them, and what's more, quite early in injury time, found out they were safe, so in a sense they were now an easy target. I'm not saying for a moment that it affected their concentration, but someone could argue that and I remember QPR received the ball and they kicked it in the corner, they literally kicked, they kicked in the corner, everyone ran towards them to the edge of the area, now it has effectively calmed down, in a Golden Room, it was all down to individuals taking responsibility on Balotelli. who got some criticism for criticizing them a million times for some of the dark things he's done, but I'll tell you what a great pass he was to finish off Aguero.

Tony Mills was the match director I worked with for most of the time. The years I've been on television and his talent to keep calm at a time like that because it's not just what was happening here, we also have the pictures of Sunderland, you know, I really can't go, was enough to have a third point. the split screen shot of United playing so far from winning another Premier League title and then we came back from that by the moment Balotelli received the ball it was a Hollywood movie made with all the advantages of high technology making it after the event you couldn't have done it better and Tony absolutely nailed it and then the roof fell in, come out sometimes, how could you have that ready to say?

And me, how do you imagine a scenario like that later? I said Agüero with a lot at the end there is a period of silence and that is partly because I think images tell the story better than words, but also Mark Hughes told me that the next night is the loudest moment on a football field. I've ever experienced, so I think that had some effect on those noises on me, not only in the stadium, but we also have these types of people. I see that goal in slow motion. I never see it in real time anymore.

It's a city where I can't even do it now people still come up to me and say when you made the comment why did you copy Martin Tyler and I have to try to explain to them that that's how it is all of life, there are themes that we think are... Isn't it a big transmission challenge to think quickly in a moment like the one you can have? And I had some words that weren't together for Manchester City's inevitable trophy lifts, but at that moment you realize those words just weren't enough fagor eggs four seconds earlier I couldn't have told you that word I was going to use it was amazing but amazing is what came out where football goes from here that was just an instinctive understanding that there can't be anything more exciting than this I don't remember much of what I said yeah I guess it got to 10 on the scale of Richter and I think any commentator has the right to do so, always writing these things.

I'll be honest when Aguero scored the winner. I did. I have no idea what I said trying to keep your voice under control so it didn't break or say something really crazy, yeah I've never seen them like that in my life. Weight for the kind of eyes Wayne Rooney saw the next day, my reaction was shown I don't know how many times on Sky News and then the internet before I was shocked that you were a fan all my life no, I was just doing my job because I love the football, I was just using a special moment, press for people watching Around a few quite lively words circulate and in the age of Twitter we have always started, so people already saw it, so a reaction was generated in social

, but what 140 characters might do justice at the time, 40,000 words will probably sum up. in a book and something like that happens yet you have Level II with the surprise factor that is incredible than you think.

I have a lot to write to do it. I had the link which I completely lost. Simply Written, they were waiting for my match report five minutes before the final whistle and I looked at some of the foreign journalists who were there and said: "This is English football." I remember talking to a guy there and he looked at me. In what he had written the next day, he said that one day Prince Charles would be king of England, but today the king of England is Robert. There were so many features about that day that alone would have made the day extraordinary, but in combination they took it. beyond the comics stuff, like anyone thought it would never come, you don't get titles, one with the last kick of the last game, the type of injury doesn't happen, but it happened once, it was very nice for the club to play that with him my comment on I think he found it quite funny how crazy I went there, very self-critical as commentators like a broom and we don't want to spoil it, we know, I think it's not an exact science and many times I could I tell you that I didn't find the right mood for but in 2012 I did and that, Sergio, thank you, you will never see anything like it again.
