By "extraordinary" I meant that Man City had not, till that point, lost a home game. Home wins for City were ordinary; this was extraordinary. I intended no commentary on the quality of the match played, as it was, by two sides who offer (as you say) a threat to the One Team any normal person would follow. BTW the skill with which Andy Murray kicks and controls a tennis ball with his feet--between points--suggests he'd be a useful player. Do you know if Wenger's got scouts out watching him? I'm sure he'd be a cheap acquisition, and men with bad backs seem to be just the ticket at present. David Ritchie, goonering in Portland, Oregon >
