in the late sixties my Dad always talked about that game we lost at home against a bunch of amateurs, 8-2.
i did not believe him, as i was around 13 and he was very old, as least 50, so i checked the records at the local library.

Typical City, he always said.
i never knew what that meant back then.

Unfortunatly,
i now understand what it means.

come on City, istanbul here we come.
