00:00 Okay, okay, okay. Gathering, gathering. Are you with them?
00:03 Right, gathering round the back. Fill it out, fill it out.
00:06 Right, okay. Are we good to go, Jim?
00:08 Yeah, yeah.
00:09 Guys, how are you feeling about tonight?
00:11 Absolutely fantastic.
00:12 Oh, hang on, hang on. I'm going to come to you first, just with a microphone.
00:14 Right, how are you feeling tonight?
00:16 Fantastic.
00:17 Why?
00:18 Because it's City.
00:19 Obviously not the way you wanted to win the season yesterday.
00:23 Did that kind of put any dampener on it, kind of celebrate?
00:26 No, not really. We've got four in a row. Yeah.
00:29 What did it mean to do that, four in a row?
00:32 Manchester's blue.
00:35 How special is this team?
00:38 Well, since I actually play for them as well, I'm one of their semi-pro players,
00:42 I say this town, these people are the best in the world!
00:47 Woo!
00:50 What makes the club so good?
00:53 The fan base, the people, the manager, everything about our team is a family.
01:00 We're born and bred Manchester City.
01:04 What do you say to those people, those cynics who would say,
01:06 "What are you celebrating for? You lost the FA Cup final, you didn't do the double yesterday."
01:12 This is to the boys. Guys, you tried your best, you didn't do well,
01:15 but pick up next season, we will take it back!
01:20 Well done, thank you very much.
01:23 Here we are in the rain, why on earth did you want to come out tonight?
01:27 Support the best team in the world.
01:31 Love them, love them to bits.
01:33 What do they mean to you?
01:34 A lot, a lot, really a lot.
01:37 And my dad was so proud because he was rooting for City all the time.
01:40 He passed away not long after Guardiola took over,
01:44 so I just wish he could have been here and seen this, and the treble as well in the past.
01:49 Four times in a row you've won the Premier League, now sum that up.
01:53 What does that mean to you guys? Not long ago you were playing in, God knows what kind of league, were you?
01:57 Well, yeah. I can imagine it means the world to everybody around here.
02:02 It's my daughter, she's supporting us, she even looks at City.
02:06 So, yeah, very, very proud.
02:09 What do you think the turnout's going to be tonight?
02:11 Oh, absolutely massive. Absolutely.
02:15 Well, can't put it into words really, can you? It's going to be that massive.
02:20 What's it going to be like when the guys come down here on the bus?
02:22 If I could ride in my wheelchair and jump off, yeah, definitely. Definitely.
02:29 Can't wait to see you.
02:30 You stay safe.
02:32 Thank you so much.
02:34 How are you feeling?
02:35 Over the moon, over the moon. It's just brilliant.
02:38 Four in a row, no one else has done it. It's just too good, too good.
02:43 Is there any disappointment that you didn't do the double, though?
02:45 A little bit, but it doesn't matter because even though it was United, they've never done four in a row.
02:51 But we have, you know, so, yeah, it would have been nice to do the double.
02:56 And maybe a double Champions League, but oh well.
03:00 It's always next season and more motivation for Pep as well.
03:02 Yeah, of course.
03:03 Keep him here.
03:04 Yeah, of course. He's staying. He's got to stay. Got to stay.
03:07 If he goes, then it's over.
03:09 Do you want to talk as well for us?
03:11 Right. How are you feeling ahead of this one tonight?
03:14 I'm really excited. This is my first time here. I've never done it before.
03:17 So front row seats as well. So really good. Really excited.
03:21 So why was this the one you wanted to come out for?
03:23 Because my mates come Mason and I just four in a row and it's the first time I've ever done it.
03:29 I just really wanted to come.
03:31 I asked it before, but any disappointment you didn't do the double?
03:34 It was United who stopped you from doing that.
03:36 Is there any disappointment tonight?
03:39 Yeah, seeding players well yesterday.
03:42 Some players just weren't as well.
03:45 But we're excited for tonight because it's a big celebration supporting this club that's the best in Manchester.
03:51 So, can't complain.
03:53 What's it going to be like when the bus comes down here?
03:56 Oh, it's going to be mayhem. It's going to be mayhem.
03:59 I'm just so excited.
04:02 You're absolute superstars. Thank you so much for that. Thank you, guys.
04:05 Right.
04:07 In three, two, one.

05:59 Come on. Let's just get you.
06:02 Come on in together. All in together.
06:05 In together. Keep it tight. Keep it tight. Right.
06:08 And then just look at us and say, "Come on, City!"
06:11 Okay, ready? That's all you want to say.
06:13 Come on. Shall we have a chat? Come on, then. Right.
06:15 So, who am I doing? You're with the adults. Come on, then. Come on.
06:18 [Indistinct]
06:20 Singles, please, over to here.
06:22 What do you want me to say? I'm going to ask you a question.
06:24 Oh, awesome. Yeah. Four in a row. How does it feel?
06:26 Amazing. Who's done it before? No one.
06:28 So, not united. Not anyone.
06:30 It's her birthday today, look.
06:32 And what could be better on a wet, soggy Sunday than coming out...
06:35 Sorry. ...to watch the greatest team that ever played the game?
06:39 Any disappointment after yesterday?
06:41 I was gutted, obviously.
06:43 Yeah, my brother-in-law's a United fan, so...
06:45 But, yeah, you can't win them all, right?
06:47 They deserved it. I hate to say it, but, yeah.
06:49 And is that going to stop you partying tonight, then?
06:51 Absolutely not, no. Absolutely not, no.
06:54 That's what we need. Thank you very much.
06:56 Okay, so, it's your birthday today.
06:58 Okay, okay. Well, many congratulations.
07:00 Thank you. It's your birthday today.
07:02 It is. How does it feel to be here celebrating your birthday?
07:04 Amazing. Yeah.
07:06 What better way to spend it than in Manchester, in the Champions Parade?
07:10 Are you a big City fan? Yeah.
07:12 We're all fanatics in our house, so, yeah.
07:15 What does it mean, four in a row?
07:17 It's just incredible, isn't it?
07:19 It's just amazing.
07:21 Never thought it would be four in a row,
07:23 and because it was so tight towards the end of the season,
07:26 it makes it all the more special.
07:28 The weather, with the kind of blissing out yesterday,
07:30 did it ever make you think, "Oh, I'm not going to bother this year,
07:32 I'm not going to clear it out"?
07:33 No, it made me more determined to come,
07:35 show you support for the Blues and stuff, and, yeah.
07:38 Yeah. Fantastic.
07:40 I think they're going to do another track, though.
