Anyway back to the important stuff what I have just witnessed in that first half was at times beautiful football reminding me of seasons gone by! Some of the interplay and passing was gorgeous at times and should have probably led to a couple more goals with some better finishing, but nonetheless it is positive and most importantly a joy to watch! This is because of a number of key things: No.1. The defensive pair have gone from woeful to palatable! No.2. Zaba creates more attacking options. No.3. You only need Fernandinho holding, you don't need Fernando as well, which makes us more creative and we are still solid enough, especially with Kev's work rate. No.4. The ginger prince himself, he is truly special, and if I was a Chelsea fan I would be absolutely gutted he'd slipped through the net! How you ask? No.5. As mentioned in last post Nasri back, who on his day can be up there with the Silva's and DeBruyne's of this world! I sit here with the absolutely gutted realisation that he is not able to play against Madrid and want to stamp my feet like a child in frustration! No.6. Old faithful Sergio doing what he does best! Anyway I hope for more of the same in the 2nd half!
My wish for once this season has been delivered as we again did our self justice with that second 45. Best game of the season for me that, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish! Let's just hope we can build on it and create some momentum in the league that guarantees top 3 and propels us on against Madrid!
As for Europe my prediction in my last post seems to be coming true with the draw! So Real it is and I am going to go to the 2nd leg as well, meeting up with Pabs in the process. What a game that should be, I can't wait and hopefully we are still in the hunt after the first leg. The only thing that always seems to be the way with me is the biggest City game in my lifetime happens to be on my Mrs' birthday! I am still going and depending on flights I have offered to bring her with me and she can play with Pab's Mrs Elena whilst we go to the game! The only thing I have had to agree to either way to enable my passage to Madrid is a discreet Tattoo of her name on the side of my body under my arm!!! If that's what it takes to get to Madrid that's what it takes!!!!
Anyway back down to earth and the Geordies tomorrow night, hopefully we can put them to the sword, continue the momentum and further cement top 4, so the other half of my last post prediction doesn't come true!
