World-beaters to world’s worst? Time we grew up
Not a bad week’s work. That is if you are foolish enough to take any notice of the shrieking hysteria of the last seven days.
There isn’t this much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the hot place. Look, I told you about the Cardiff Cup didn’t I but would anyone listen? People pay through the nose for a glorified reserve match and expect their whinging to be taken seriously! They saw a game without precedent in our modern history. My dad’s in his 70s and sat through eight turgid years of lower league football — he’s never seen us concede six at home. At 3-5 it was an all-out assault at the Kop end just like the good old days. Near misses, penalty saves, the game had everything.
