Manchester City
City’s season, unlike their balloons, may just have gone pop
It wasn’t a good day to be a Manchester City player. They were comprehensively outfought by a Sheffield United side that last week were comprehensively outfought by a Sheffield Wednesday side deep in relegation trouble. To add insult to injury, they returned from their humbling to find their dressing room had been raided by the […]
The chase for fourth spot hots up as underdogs lurk
To older football fans, the idea of the race for fourth place being as interesting, or as important, as the title chase or the relegation dogfight is fundamentally absurd. After all, as Bill Shankly once said “if you are first you are first, if you are second you are nowhere”.
