Premiership Blues

Y'know a while ago, I mentioned that it looked like Chelsea had the Premiership sewn up. Then Liverpool came into the running and it looked like they were going to win. Funny how things turn out...

Inch-by-inch, City took over the top slot, first from Arsenal, and then from Liverpool (Blue beating Red twice).

Even better is that not only have the people across town won nothing, they're not even in Europe, having been pipped by Tottenham. Sad, really. And funny. They'll be back, though. They're annoying like that.

It does feel weird, City winning things. Nice to have to get used to it, though.

Jesus Scores for City

That is Jesús Navas who scored the third, and last, goal for Manchester City in the League Cup final against Sunderland.

There's talk of doing the Treble (League Title, Cup and F.A. Cup), but realistically and barring a minor miracle, the League looks to be sewn up by Chelsea. This leaves the F.A. Cup, so a double of sorts is possible, and Chelsea are out of that competition for some reason...

FA MCFC

So after 42 YEARS!!! City have won the FA Cup and it's returned to Manchester. I cannot say that the match was a classic and since there was only one goal in it, hardly a high scoring one, but the two teams were evenly matched, with only a slight lapse in concentration by Stoke resulting in an opportunity to score, which was not wasted by Toure.



As to the future, well, we could be looking at third spot next year and there is always Europe. Better days, I think.

As for Shrews, well they didn't get automatic promotion, thanks to Wycombe, so they had to play Torquay in the playoff's, which they lost 2-0 in the first leg, so off to a bad start there. They might get through, but I think with Turner in charge, next year definitely.

Confused

As a Manchester City supporter, I am somewhat confused by what happened this weekend. On the one hand, I'm glad that City have managed to make it to the FA Cup Final for the first time in thirty years. On the other I'm even gladder that the Stretford team didn't make it. That it was City that beat them is just the world turned up side down. The only thing better than this would have been to beat them in the final. The final is going to be a bit of an anti-climax. For the record, the last time we played Stoke, we drew one each.
