#Barclays 24/25

I enjoyed it tbh. There's a difference between a game that's short on entertainment because both sides are scared of each other, trying to impose their gameplan on the other and both are too good in shape and defence to let it happen to any great extent, and a game that's short on entertainment because neither side can trap a ball, make a 10 yard pass or keep possession under any pressure.

I only saw the last 25 minutes but there was plenty of that on show.

Since David Silva left, that bit of magic City had has gone for me.  Came back to check that going to have my tea was a better choice, than watching.  Pleased with the result, though.

In the end though, both amount to the same thing - absolutely f**k all interesting happening.

Absolutely no thought for the millions of armchair fans across the world. We can't all be there in our half and half scarves to soak in the atmosphere.

Had the radio on pre-match, and they were all talking about how incredible the atmosphere was going to be and how massive it was and all the usual. Had to nip out for milk later and listening to the commentary it was like it was off-tube rather than at the stadium. It was like back in covid times when you could hear the ball being booted about and the shouts from the players. Some atmosphere right enough.
