Supporting City has made my life AMAZING!
I was born a City fan, I wear my City kit all the time and I never miss a game. They're the best team in the world!
Every weekend I get to go and watch the best team in the land and all the world at the Etihad.
I also get to go to all the away games, from Brighton, Swindon, to Wembley to Istanbul and Athens so it feels like an adventure because I always have something to look forward to.
City has also taught me to never give up and always try your best—like when we’re losing but come back to win in the last minute. It makes me feel like I can do anything if I keep trying, just like them!
I spend loads of time with other City fans, and it’s the best! When I go to games, I know everyone, and we all sit in the South stand singing the songs and shouting.
At school, we always talk about the matches, our favourite players, and who’s going to score next. Sometimes we play matches at break - I'm always Haaland, Jack Grealish or Johnny Stones.
On a weekend matchday I will wake up and have my match first. I sometimes imagine my coach is Pep when he’s giving the team talk.
After my game we will go home and I’ll get ready and decide which shirt to wear. My friend Owen then gets dropped off at my house and we drive down to the Etihad, stopping for some sweets for half-time.
We then park up and walk to the ground. I love that feeling of putting my ticket in the turnstile and walking in. I always go in the turnstile on the right, never the left! Everyone’s usually singing at the back of the South Stand.
I’ll meet up with my friend Freddie and his brother Oscar, we all get a drink and head to our seats. I love watching the warm-ups and trying to guess who’s going to score. The atmosphere gets louder and louder as “Blue Moon” starts playing.
Pep has turned City into an unstoppable team. The way he changed the team is unbelievable, players like Haaland, De Bruyne, Grealish and Foden have been amazing to watch and they’re all here because of Pep.
His tactics always make City better. He’s a football genius! Some of my favourite moments have been watching them win trophies.
The Treble season was unreal—Premier League, FA Cup, and finally the Champions League! Seeing City lift that big trophy made me feel so proud, everyone in the stadium was crying like me, it meant so much to us all, like all of our dreams had come true.
I feel so lucky to have him here, and I never want him to leave.
