We didn't play anywhere near our best and scored to seal the game in the 90th minute. We edged it in comparison to previous weeks, no bias here.
But we did though. The only thing missing was the finish. We missed 4-5 golden chances and messed up a further 3 or 4 easy situations in front of goal. It's amazing how much of a gloss a flattering scoreline puts on the game. We played every bit as well as we have all season.
 
I heard a tale about the journos during the World Cup in South Africa, the story comes from a red top stringer who was over there, and he relayed it to a mate of mine who was in Fleet Street at the time.

Basically once they had all filed their match reports, they all colluded to come up with the narrative for the editorial pish that would be in the follow up articles, this (allegedly) was over several libations in the bus back to whatever luxury watering hole they were all ensconced.

Lead agitator and top dog was one H.Winter, at that time of the Telegraph, and apparently all the red top muppets went along taking the que and embellishing accordingly.

I offer this up as evidence of rat menatality, and how the red tops follow the broadsheets.
Someone at City told me a similar story. The red top hacks were sat there in the media room openly discussing how they were going to spin the manager's press conference.
 
I thought Simon Stone was happy this morning on radio 5, then I picked up on the news he was breaking. Then he had the temerity to suggest questions would be asked about why Aguero was in Holland a few days before a game, because international flight etc increases the risk of injury.
