Heavens above!! It was painful to watch and I am still numb now. We were due a tonking, ven with a man sent off and some weird team selection, man city were awesome. I can remember losing to Ipswich 6-o in 1978 and a few 5-0 defeats at the hands of Newcastle and I think Chelsea in more recent times but today was the day the bummer got bummed.
Usually it is Arsenal or Chelsea that build a good lead in the table at this time and usually when either travel away in the winter months up north to play the likes of Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan, the London teams find it hjard going to pick all three points, man City are a northern team to begin with.
Wont disagree with the bookies that Man City look good for the title, but a look back in history tell you that whenever another team raises the bar, Fergie matches it. Witness Arsenal in the late nineties and Chelsea, when they won back-to-back titles a few yaers back, each time MUFC came back stronger.
This time who knows if Fergie has got the years left to repeat matching and surpassing the raised bar.
Thankfully lol, I don't know any Man City fans.
I am my own worst enemy and best friend, itsa bit of a squeeze in a three-quarter bed, tho. Unhinged!? If I was a dog I would be having kittens, that is unhinged. Footloose n fancy free, forced to fit, fated to fly. One or 2 words, 3 and 3/thirds, looking comely but lonely, till I made them homely.D
