We can’t match City splurge if Glazernomics is here to stay
Furthermore, next Sunday is not only a matter of revenge for the abysmal ‘Munich derby’ but, of course, has taken on a central importance for both clubs’ league destinies. For us, it’s the actual title, naturally, and this is clearly the toughest game we have left (notwithstanding Fergie’s bizarre comments at the PFA awards last week that the obvious training exercise at the Riverside was the one he dreaded).
Meanwhile, hard though it is to believe, City actually have the chance to springboard from this to claim a place in Europe, and on genuine footballing grounds rather than the spurious Mickey Mousery of Fair Play gubbins. These things matter to Reds: the much-loved trophy-free year-counter that famously adorned the Stretford End testifies to that. On June 10, City will mark a third of a century without a pot – 33 and a third years exactly since the Tueart bicycle kick – and many of us will be having commemorative booze-ups to celebrate.
