Product Description
The 2011-12 campaign will be remembered as the season when the disparaging phrase Typical City was buried forever.
No Hollywood scriptwriter could have dreamt up the ending to a breathless title chase as City pipped arch rivals United to the Premier League crown.
Forty-four years of hurt were finally swept away in a dramatic finale against Queens Park Rangers as Roberto Mancinis never-say-die battlers won their last six games to overturn an eight point deficit. Now you get the chance to re-live one of the most historic and topsy-turvy season s in the Blues proud history. It was a champion season after which the football world sat up and took notice. Watch again the two wins over United, the Champions League debut, and the Carlos Tevez saga. Marvel as the Blues set new records on a host of fronts.
The goals and the glory, the despair and the delirium it is all in this special end of season DVD crammed full of exclusives and extras to keep the most ardent fan entranced.
Includes an exclusive behind the scenes documentary charting all the major stories throughout an epic season for the Blues, covering the Carlos Tevez Munich incident, life with Mario Balotelli, sensational signings and insights from inside the camp on the eve of the game that would decide their Premier league fate.
Also included are bonus features from the final game of the season, the inside story on the Parade day celebrations with interviews from the bus and an in depth interview from the Club's Chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak.

As a Villa season ticket holder, still hurting from a season to forget this DVD shows how football should be played. Goals a plenty from the start, drama on and off the pitch AND pipping Man Utd to the post made City my guilty pleasure.
I'll even forgive Barry and Milner for their defection now that they've put the glory-hunting, cheating-diver, over-rated Ashley Young firmly in his place.

As an avid Man Utd fan since the start of football in 1992 this is painful for me to say. This was the best ever season for soccer I've ever had the please to watch on my TV. Have to say that City deserved to win in the end, and they gave me some great highlights this season, so I'm thinking of buying it myself. Any soccer fan will love this, the best season on Sky ever. The season was that good, I'm thinking of going to some games next season, and this DVD will only enhance that feeling.

As a lifelong City fan, I will automatically enjoy this DVD. Of course the fans will have wanted to have got hold of this asap. However I will keep my review to the content of the DVD.
It is a neat package with two DVDs. The first being the season review and the second, a collection of extras including ones about Aguero and Balotelli. The Balotelli one will appeal to the non-city fans where he is seen an interesting character. The season review speaks for itself with the drama unfolding.
The sleeve is ok but there are typos on the back that show that this needed a few more checks before being issued.
I just wish they had been a bit more imaginative than the presentation we have here. It could have started with the drama of the final game against QPR with Aguero firing in the equalizer but before it hit the net, then we could flashback 44 years and progress through the pain and false hopes till this season. I think all our City fan histories flashed before our eyes as that ball went sailing into the net! That emotion needed to be captured.
We may get a better DVD in due course, but for the time being, this will do.

Since MUFC were founded by Malcolm Glazer in 1992, i felt emotionally obliged to support the Manchester United Soccer Squad from here in Austin, Texas. I had to buy this DVD though as I can never let myself forget all the goal conversions conceded at the Trafford Arena on the 23rd October 2011 and to remind myself of how the season progressed, as I tend to only view 3 games a season at most on ESPN, but the guys on Redcafe call me a dedicated fan!
I also know someone who went to the Trafford Arena once, and he said the City Soccer Squad could never win the EPL, President Ferguson had promised!
In my disbelief, i got the DVD today and it seemed like a great watch, but I had to leave before the final whistle went at Manchester City Arena on the derby game as there was traffic to avoid on my way to the fridge, so if anyone could let me know the conclusion score that would be awesome man.

i can totally empathize with some of the reviews for this product .i too are an avid man u fan of 1 generation having been brought up in inner city slough.having time to reflect on fergies mistakes towards the latter end of the season with the late capitulation against everton and the blatant omission of bebe,i can now appreciate the attacking flair displayed by city throughout the season ,only spurs in an odd game displayed such flowing enterprising football especially against city at white hart lane .twelve pounds to me is a bargain if for nothing else seeing the sunderland poznan.again well done city ,as i prepare to move my job north to trafford ,i just thank my lucky stars i am not in manchester to face the humiliation .fergie will no doubt get the boys in shape to wrestle our title back especially with the rumour of frank stapleton rejoining for the season ahead.

To be able to relive the games, goals and precious moments is incredible. Outstanding editing made all the better with short interviews throughtout given by the players. Micah Richards will go on to a career in films similar to Vinny Jones - his humour and take on various situations makes for great viewing whilst his down to earth approach is refreshing in today's big money. The DVD is a really, really fantastic watch and especially at Amazon's cheaper price, well worth it.

Aguerrrooooooooo!!!
Best feeling in the world when Aguero scored that goal to beat QPR 3-2 and snatch the league from United. Also very enjoyable watching us thrash United 6-1 at old trafford.
