Yesterday in the Premier League four of the keepers had City connections... Harper, Mannone, Myhill, Guzan.... all four kept clean sheets. We certainly have been blessed with some decent keepers over the years. (I know Vito only played half a game)
We did decent business on the loan market, but it is nice to have finally signed some quality keepers of our own. When I were a lad I thought Allan Fettis was awesome. During his first spell, he was rare touch of class in a period of real mediocrity. There was one save he made which I can still see clearly. It was a night game at Boothferry Park and the air was crisp. I was in the south stand seats. In came a shot fom the angle, arrowing into the far bottom corner. Fettis, at full stretch, somehow got his fingertips to the ball and diverted it just round the post. All three sides of city fans in the stadium gave him a massive round of applause. Then the ****tard of a referee gave a goal kick. I mean, what did he imagine we were applauding?! Always sticks in the mind that one.
Harper was a great signing by SB. He isn't spectacular, but he just does everything right and he never looks like dropping the ball. Also Jak deserves credit after his cup performance. He looked a lot less shaky and a decent 3rd option.
Wouldn't it be funny, right, if you went into the chemist... Only, the chemist was an ocelot. "I'd like a packet of condoms, please". "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have any; I'm an ocelot"
It would be quite strange if you went to the chemist and said "I'd like a packet of condoms, please". only it wasn't a chemists, it was a viaduct and all you could hear was the wind blowing through the great stone arches.
