A Manchester City fan caught crying when his club appeared to have blown their Premier League title chance  says he is responsible for their amazing turnaround.

 

John Millington, 26, made headlines across the world when TV crews filmed him in tears during the Blues’ 1-0 loss at Swansea City in March. The defeat saw rivals United take over at the top of the table by a point – a lead they would go on to stretch to eight points. John’s fame was such that City boss Roberto Mancini pledged his team would try to win the title ‘for that guy’.

 

John, a Royal Mail worker from Droylsden, believes  the team’s stunning revival is down to the galvanising effect of his outburst. He said: “I really think it made the difference. Mancini said they had to win it for me and I think the players realised that. “They saw me in tears and realised what it meant to all the City fans. United’s players must have seen it too and it seems to have put the pressure on them. I like to think I started the mind games back then and it seems to have done the trick.”

 

John is even hoping to be asked to join City’s victory parade should they beat QPR to secure the title on Sunday. He said: “I was talking to one of my mates about it. We were wondering if Mancini would ask me to come on the bus with them or even lift the trophy on the pitch. I’ll wait for his call! As for the United fans who gave me a load of grief – well it looks like I’ll have the last laugh. “Although, having said that, one Red who made T-shirts with me crying on them has said I can have them for free.”

The worrying thing is, you can tell he actually believes that.

Ahh yes, spinning the old 'I wasn't crying as I was upset, I was crying to trick the players into thinking I was very upset and to trick man united fans too...it was all a ruse.'

 

The bloke must be part of Mensa with that kind of forward thinking.

 

Fucking belltop.

My City-supporting mate thinks he's a dick (basically embarrassed the entire fanbase and all that reasoning). In fact, most Man City supporters think the same.

Just remembered something I saw today. When I was walking around Manchester, there were a couple of guys selling, "Manchester City: Champions" scarves. Bit pre-mature like even if they are the favourites to win it.

To make up for lack of football today I've spent the last hour watching the basketball. Apparently Newcastle Eagles have won the Cup, Trophy, League, Play-Offs, one of the players got Player of the Year, coach got Coach of the Year. We're awesome. :cool:
