This means so much to us all as a fan base that has been through what we have, the many lows and then the highs of recent seasons.

I was 4 when city won the cup in 87 and all I remember was my dad going crazy in the living room, and me thinking I want some of that. I've been hooked since.

I also have an added hatred of Leicester. I know it's a strong word and set of emotions but my uncle who lived in Leicester at the time we got relegated gave it all the Coventry is going down blah blah. Lost all respect for him that day 25 years ago. Oh how the tables have turned! Seeing them on the brink of relegation to league 1 and us going back up to the Premier League makes it so much better on a personal level.

If some one AI savvy enough to generate an image of Lampard smoking a cigar, us going up and showing Leicester going down, with captions along the lines of "If Carlsburg did football seasons..." then please be my guest

Enjoy it fellow Sky Blues, We're back in the big time!!!

It's the best I could do myself, by no means an AI wizz

Is it just me or has it not quite sunk in yet, maybe when the hangover wears off, looked at league table And we’ve got the P next to us, but thought I’d be absolutely buzzing ?

I woke up this morning singing Bobby Thomas… I had to double check it really happened

Yeah not fully sunk in yet. It probably won't until the first game of next season and then the evenings MoTD show, probably be last on as usual

Yeah I found it a bit strange. Right bag of emotions. I was excited all day, then flat with us losing and playing scrappy but was a mix of ecstatic and buzzing by the end but also calm - because it’s been coming, jubilant - because we snatched a late goal to do it but a bit relieved it was over and done. Not sure this makes sense.

To be fair, if I had been in the away end last night I’d have gone mental so it was probably that.

so fuck knows but anyway, we are premier league!

maybe when we win the league against Wrexham it’ll sink in, must admit had a tear watching Lampard get emotional after the game, we’ve got the P, now we need the C

So if Ipswich don’t win tomorrow and we win Tuesday it’s done ?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

So if Ipswich don’t win tomorrow and we win Tuesday it’s done ?

Yup if we beat Pompey, Ipswich must beat Boro or the title is ours.

Good, just want Wrexham to be one big party, come on boro

This year’s squad and coaching staff have been beyond brilliant. But they’ve been able to build on the foundations laid by some legends from tougher years.

Some were better than others, but they all played their part. I’m thinking of you:

Mark Robins
Adi Viveash
Dennis Lawrence
Dave Boddy
Michael Doyle
Liam Kelly
Kyle McFadzean
Matty Godden
Max Biamou
Ben Wilson (still with us)
Jake Bidwell (ditto)
Jamie Allen (ditto)
Fankaty Dabo
Ben Sheaf
Carl Baker
Jordan Shipley
Tom Bayliss
Jack Grimmer
Jordan Willis
Marko Marosi
Michael Rose
Simon Moore
Dom Hyam
Jodi Jones
Callum O’Hare (yes, I know)
Gustavo Hamer (ditto)
Victor Gyokeres (ditto)

Fucking hell.

Maybe you are trying to wait for a feeling that isnt coming ?

I feel really happy inside , a huge sense of relief and relaxation and now i just want to win the league .
