Continuing the City Enigma

September 26, 2008

A joyous 6-0 thumping of Pompey in the league is followed by a penalty kicks’ loss (after a 2-2 deadlock) to little Brighton in the Carling Cup three days later. Sharin smsed “Typical city!”. Yes, it’s still the same old City!!

Too much celebrations after our biggest win in the Premier League? Our superstars can’t play well in front of small crowds? The Carling’s not important enough to be seriously bothered? Half of our ‘heroes’ of the weekend romp were on the field too. Surely the Seagulls can’t be half as good as Redknapp’s boys. At the end for such ‘mismatches’, it is always about how much heart we put into it.

We have walked this path many times before and will forget soon enough. Come the weekend, another game’s up, another battle looms and we will still be cheering again for our City.

I, for one, am gutted of the lost but I guess all is not lost with City losing to the minnows.

Then again, perhaps football evens itself out... we did win through the penalty kick as well against that Danish Midjtyland (sp?) side.

I'll try to erase it and enjoy the Wigan game at the JJB... with hope that we break the spell that has been bugging us there.

On the lighter side, maybe the lost would signal Sparky that we do need to field a good side no matter what game it is -- though I still think the side the other day was good enough.
