Ah the Memories

I wrote last week about the 3 levels of  competition in the BPL, and the fact that despite having the talent could Manchester City develop the resolve and determination to challenge over a long season.

Well they failed their first test.

Sunderland is a difficult place to play, but in a game where Manchester City had enough chances to post a cricket score they failed to strike the killer blow, and suffered the consequence via a late winner to the home team.

Winning a title is about talent and depth of squad, but most importantly about resolve. Can a collection of players who are at a club for, lets be honest, the money, find the resolve? I have my doubts.

I finish this week on a high after watching the great match between Blackpool and Fulham, at an old fashion home ground.

For 90 minutes I forgot what year we were in and was almost taken back in time to the 70’s and 80’s - the days of the Big Match football show and old fashioned end to end English football.

Can I borrow the Tradis from Doctor Who - I want to go back to those times. If I can remember rightly this was the time when Liverpool was a powerhouse of English Football.

Ah the memories.
