The Poetry of Football

[CityFanFromRome]

Did anyone think about it? Last season a Crouch goal in the deciding match against Spurs gave them CL football at our expense, this year a Crouch own goal seals our qualification to the qualifying rounds, keeping them out of it. It's karma at its best isn't it? :D

At one point I was watching the game thinking, "I hope we score another to seal this game, but it wouldn't be so bad if it ended 1-0 with Crouch's own goal giving us the win" and I would have loved for Carlos to score on his return at the end, but all in all I think this final result is, in a way, more fitting.

Yes.

I would have enjoyed it if Vieira's chance at the end had gone in but I won't complain.

If we win our last two league games there is the possibility of further 'poetry' if Fulham (Hughes) beat Arsenal on the final day :-)
