Maybe our friend, Mr. Ric Turner was a tad harsh when he wrote in his latest blog entry, "I cannot abide Steve Bruce, a man so grotesquely ugly that his wife probably goes to work with him each day just to avoid kissing him goodbye in the morning".
But upon further reading, I suppose the man's got a point. Bruce's post match whining, given time, will one day match that of his mentor's, Sir Alex. Albeit numerous replays of how Michael Johnson's boots met the ball and the foul on him being shunned before his own challenge, Bruce relentlessly stressed how City didn't deserve the goal. Nevertheless, why bother a United alum. While City's performance wasn't as beautiful as the Newcastle match's or as gorgeous as Samaras' hair, the match highlighted the genius of a certain Vedran Corluka. Easily the most 'relaxed' football player in history, Corluka governed his area with such composure that every Birmingham attack from the left flank was repelled as if his and the opposition's body had different polarities. At the end of the day, it was Elano Houdini's magic touch that bagged us another three points, to maintain the look of the top three positions of the table. And here's to breaking Chelsea's home record. |
