On Sunday, I was watching on from afar as we fought out that final game against Villa. The last thing that could have struck me as coming to mind for any unbiased neutral would be, "What an apathy of hopelessness. City are robbing the game of the emotion on which it's built."
On the other hand, back in 2016, I visited my best friend from university in north Wales. His lad is my godson, and they had a German exchange kid there so took him into Liverpool for the day, including a trip to Anfield. It's like a theme park - again, authenticity is the very last thing that comes to mind.
