The heat is on, we go into this game just 3 points clear of City and we have yet to play them at their gaff. Key players missing only adds to the jeopardy. When the going gets tough the tough either get going or collapse like a pack of cards because it turns out they weren’t tough to begin with. Well we might find out tonight which camp we are in. Do we go there and look to play no risk football and eek out a win, or to we go with our Champions League hat on and open up? I suspect the former but hope against hope for the latter.
I don’t know just how big this game is on the seemingly endless list of big game we seem to have, but it seems pretty big to me. I was of a mind that City were not good enough to go on the kind of run that would derail our 22 year quest for glory, but the 2 transfer window additions and their recent results have shaken that confidence, and my yellow streek is on display for all to see.
Pedantic George.
