Agreed on ETH Doing well so far. I reserve judgement on Anthony. I always try and give players 18months plus before I judge them, especially those that sign from non PL clubs. So far Anthony has flattered to deceive but he may come good. Ditto Sancho, his apparent mental health problems cut him a little slack, but 2 underwhelming years so far.
Who are we cheering for tonight? Normally I would cheer for the English side, unless it was Utd for obvious reasons. Even Chelsea some times get my support depending on who they are playing and who is managing them etc.
Until the last year or so I would have cheered for City. I don't know many City fans so they dont get a chance to annoy me like the legions of Utd fans do and City as a club always seem decent enough. I do like Pep and his sides play great football. BUT City have cheated they have ****ed FFP and are only where they are cos of that and them winning everything is REALLY starting to get boring. I know Utd dominated for periods in the 90's and early 00's and Pool did the same in the 70's and 80's but City's dominance has a more permanent feel to it. Plus the dominate EVERYTHING, at least those great Pool and City sides had the decency not to make every domestic final every year as well as cruising the league. They also didn't dominate european football the way City are threatening to.
I suspect I'll be half heartedly cheering for Inter, if only so I can laugh if City do **** it up. But it'll be hard to listen to if City win it.
I suspect our best hope for someone to stop City's dominance is Pep leaving. Or FA/PL growing a set. Until then, we're stuck with them.
