Show Notes
If ever a game proved that football isn’t just about winning, this was it. Alex, Archie, Chris, and Mark have the unusual task of celebrating a noble 3-1 defeat at the Etihad.
Part One focuses on the match itself. A solid, organised first-half performance, crowned by a moment for the ages—scored by the magnificent Ukrainian—that even an equaliser couldn’t diminish. Discussion covers the huge culture shift, resilience, the stellar performance of the 8,000-strong Green Army, and the fact that even in defeat, there was so much to admire. Pride doesn’t even begin to cover it, without a sliver of tinpot.
Part Two looks ahead to the final 12 games of the season and Tuesday’s huge trip to Hull. Critical on paper—is it a must-win, a must-not-lose, or do recent performances against stronger sides make it just another cup final? Special praise goes to Pleggy’s contract extension and what it means for us all, as well as a reminder that players are human beings too.
We hope we’ve done it justice.
To Hull and Beyond…
