I just listened to the Football Writers podcast & the mental gymnastics involved to justify their opinions were incredible. Basically a big contradiction.
Now the Title is fairly justified “ is the curse of the champions league about to strike Manchester City again” us City fans know better than anyone not to get our hopes up. We may well have left ourselves open by not taking our chances so I have no problem with that. It’s interesting that at no point did the way we handled a 1 goal lead in Madrid a month ago never came up.
My issue was when describing us, they admitted the problem was we aren’t romantic, we aren’t Liverpool or United, we are this clinical machine & they like a team with Liverpool like flaws. So onto the predictions Madrid likely to go through as City aren’t clinical like Liverpool & we still look flawed at the back.
Now here’s a headline for your next show…..
“Is the curse of the premier league about to strike Liverpool again.”
