Here we go again with
another version of David versus Goliath- in the football arena of the English Premier
League, when two of the so called giants, perished in what many thought that were
going to play an easy afternoon of football.
Indeed, doubting these
last words, as I always said it with a certain tone of reality, that there is
no such thing as an easy foe and whatever the circumstance of the so called big
guns- that can yield to the littlest of foes!
Ask that to Premiership
giants Chelsea Blues and Manchester City Citizens that saw blue in today’s
presentation and disputing a place in the always reputable FA Cup competition.
With a couple of little entities in Bradford
City Association Football Club and situated in the always avoidable League One or
better known as a third division below the Championship League.
For the other group
of high achievers situated for some time in the Championship League a step
closer to Premiership, Middlesbrough FC was in its best forms and with an inspired
afternoon, doing the ultimate of feats.
Let me start with the
boys from West Yorkshire and go by the name of Bantams, Citizens and Paraders- something
that they did today as a visiting squad and disputing in what it seem a tough
foe in the Stamford Bridge boys.
Going to this central
London venue isn’t a walk in the park or a picnic, whatever you want to call
it- still the chaps directed and put in the field by a determined Boss in Phil
Parkinson, who somehow came filled with inspiration and lots of wisdom.
You may say why? By just
defeating the current leader of Premiership or the top league, in Chelsea a
dominant entity so far in this campaign and possible league champions, seeing
this as feat like no other and something to be spoken in many days!
A nice 4-2 score after
the home squad was dominating the match and had a comfortable lead and then
everything fell down for Jose Mourinho boys and looking at the feat performed by
the Bantams for the win!
Then going to Etihad
were the Citizens are a bit invincible and tough to beat, not today of course
with a fifth round in the FA Cup in play- the Sky Blues bit the dust shockingly
with another inspired boss in Boro Boss Aitor Karanka, looking for his club to
return to its old Premiership glories.
And who they made
pay, the last edition of Premiership and defending champions the Manchester
City Citizens managed by Manuel Pellegrini, who saw a non-fighting entity in
his chaps and overconfident as well.
Here a stoic and upsetting
2-1 score was sufficient for the visitors to earn a precious victory of gold as
well eliminate the home field advantage Citizens from FA competition as well
became the talk of the league.
I hail these competition
as the so called little teams or entities can claim a piece of glory and show a promising future for their
clubs and young players alike, bravo once again for the achiever’s!
As Bradford City AFC
and Middlesbrough did the ultimate of feats and ridiculed and upset a couple of
giants that could have an easy afternoon or practice- there is no such thing as
an easy ride, no such thing boys.
