Perfect first paragraph. I think I was colder and wetter, though.

And on that apt final sentence, those media reports on Man City's accounts show they spent £639,000 per day on staff wages last season.

Per day.

Lovely last sentence Dave. Can I get it tattooed on me? Would I have to pay royalties?

Agree. Great article

You even managed not to sound too triumphalist - even though I know you would really love to have shown your true feelings!

Another good article Dave.
I saw some figures about Man City's financial losses come up before the game and wondered how sustainable it all is for them.
