This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from June 2003 and lives here forevermore.

Manchester City in Europe

Manchester City have qualified for Europe! It’s very much by the backdoor with England receiving an extra place as the top country in the UEFA Fair Play league and City getting that place as top team in the English Fair Play league who hadn’t automatically qualifed for Europe.

It’s complicated but the important point is that we play European football for the first time in my memory and can now look forward to losing to an Icelandic team live in Five. Oh wait, that last parts about Chelsea!
