Unfortunately I am a dyed in the wool claret so I continue to watch hoof ball.
It’s a fine balance this one for me boys, I’m not sure I’d like to watch City every week knowing your going to win more than you lose , I think we counted up the other season when they came to the turf and there was just short of 500 million on the bench , we on the other hand couldn’t be further from that point could we and we play to a strength to get results. ( I know it’s not pretty a lot of the time )
We don’t have the talent - players to play gun ho football so we have to put up with it.

I suppose the flip side is we watched a Norwich team try to play that style of football last season and they simply got picked off week after week.

The pendulum swings , good football and relegation , poor football and mid table mediocrity

( might be different this season that ).

Let’s be honest CIty are buying the league.
