Yellow display leaves us looking a soft touch

SOMEHOW our brisk walk back to the car on Saturday seemed so much longer.

But then I guess that having not enjoyed a home win against the Arsenal for over 15 years, City fans were entitled to savour their moment.

Watching the highlights was strange. I’m still perplexed as to why we were playing in yellow, as the red and white of Arsenal against the sky blue of City is such a footballing classic. The replays of us hitting the woodwork and missing several chances might lead one to conclude that we were merely victims of bad luck and a Thierry Henry who’s struggling to find some form. That hardly tells the whole story.
