Too many Cooks spoil the game (That’s Gary, by the way)

I STRUGGLE with Manchester City.

I have to read texts, emails etc whilst I present ‘6-0-6’ on BBC 5 Live. On Saturday night I read out the comments of a City fan ‘Londis’ who’d posted a message on Facebook: “This is the worst day of my life.”

He/she was reflecting on the derby defeat by United as well as the Spurs victory over Chelsea that radically lessened City’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League. It was a ludicrous exaggeration of course but it made me think: City fans are so caught up in the club’s new-found wealth that they’ve blindly bought into the vision propagated by the likes of the Chief Executive Garry Cook.
