According to Robert Huth.
Yes Welbeck scored and we lost to Arsenal. But listen to the big German brick shitehouse and it was their celebrating that motivated City to dig in and go on that unbeaten run to win it.
So thanks Danny - it was a pleasure!

Their first shot on target in the game, was the 70th minute.

"There's your fairy-tale...the title-turning goal of his dreams..."

Yeah, overrated international striker vs. 5001/1 outsiders.
 
I was in a shopping mall in the Middle East. I was watching the clock tick down. 1-1. 90/91/92/93/94/95. Then it changed to FT. 2-1. I dropped to my knees and some people thought I’d collapsed. I felt physically sick. But yes for the team that was the motivation. Thanks to the Arse for their silly celebrations. It was all the motivation we needed but at the time it felt pretty awful as a fan
 
Mall of the Emirates. Dubai

As long as you were facing towards the Kabaa it wouldn’t have been too out of the ordinary!
Timed about right for Isha too….

Joking aside there was a time when all the staff and shopkeepers in the malls would disappear for prayer time….. long before 2015 though (and long before the shops were staffed by Russians and Lithuanians)
 
The way the arse celebrated at the end, you would have thought it was a reenactment of the St Valentines Day massacre.
 
Is that the one with the big fish tank in the middle, I was well impressed with that.
Hasn’t got anything on the highcross though 😂

No I think that’s the Dubai Mall? Not sure. The MotE has the 25 storey ski centre on the side of it. Just ridiculous

I went to the toilet to see out the last couple of minutes. I shall never forget coming back to the TV to celebrate, only to see those twats cavorting all over the pitch.
 
I was in Ao Nang in Thailand sat next to an arse fan, he was dancing around like a cunt, I just gave him my best Eyres Monsell stare that said, yes mate, whatever !!
 
I was there, smuggled into home end. Sussed by some mouthy sod at the final whistle; congratulated him on the major feat of beating 10 men, shame they couldn't do it against 11. Walked away from there, heart in boots. Then IT came to pass and I've forgiven this ridiculous blue and white shower anything and everything before or since. COYB !!!!!!!!!!
 
Marcin's stupid challenge on Welbeck to give away a free kick. I spent the rest of the afternoon stomping round the house, calling him all manner of names I'd never dare say to his face or within 50 miles of him, convinced we'd blown it.
He could have easily just knocked it out of play.

I was in our company box at that end of the ground and had a good view of it.

I saw some of their lap of honour and the three of our players stood by the away end watching them celebrate. Then I went back into the box and had a beer or two to drown my sorrows.

We shouldn’t really have worried but at the time it felt like we might throw away probably our only chance to win it.
 
Thing is, the game following the Arsenal match (after the international break) we were shite for 89 minutes. Hardly created anything. On 88 mins Nathan Redmond put a 25 yarder a whisker wide of Schmeichels LH post. Then a minute later Leo popped up with the earthquake goal. Might have been very different had we not won.
