A marathon not a sprint

The players might be feeling tired and so are us fans. The price of success has been a lot of extra games. I've been to six extra Europa League home matches this season, plus an FA Cup tie against Leeds and a League Cup game against Man City, on top of 18 home league games. One more to go now, when we stop Man City winning the League. It's going to be a total of 27 home matches for me in all, plus an away trip for me to Arsenal. Two seasons ago we were fighting relegation — fixture congestion is a sign of progress, even if its been hard on my wallet!
