Old stick in the muds have had a good run in the past few seasons. A rapid fall from the Premier league brought most of them out of the cryogenics lab and, before most of them had warmed up, City found themselves in League One. After initially moaning about the silly change of division naming, the Old Sods quickly got back into the traditional glorification of division 4 days.
“Football was simple then” said a life long fan. “City played 46 games and then applied for re-election. Those were the days. I have a full collection of re-election letters just like my collection of first day postage stamps. However I did miss re-election bid #17 in 1936 when the dog ate my homework.”
“School? Homework? Luxury!” Shouted WT from across the hall in an obvious flashback to the good old days of comedy, nothing to do with soccer and an obvious distraction from the point of this made up article.
“and we could walk from one end of the ground to the other for the second half. None of this pansy sitting down stuff.
“I’d like them to throw in the towel a bit earlier on Saturday. A nice 0-3 loss to Port Vale would make my day. “
“Bottom 4 by Christmas”.
General mumblings continued about how bad everything is in the world, that you can’t get proper tea anymore and City are still far too high in the table.
