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.

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.
