In a tight game at Wembley, we were able to defeat Man City on penalties after a 1-1 draw over the course of 120 minutes. City’s star player was injured in the match, and two of our best performers were injured also; when it came down to it we were able to win the game on penalties though, and therefore guaranteed our place in Europe next season.
7-6 we won it, once more showing our penalty prowess in scoring all seven of our penalties. We’ve won quite a few shoot-outs now, and never in a shoot-out do we ever seem to miss anymore. We’ll miss the occasional penalty within a match, the players seem to thrive under pressure though, and I’m now always very confident when heading into a penalty shoot-out situation. It’s our best chance of beating better opposition, and once again we did so in overcoming impressive league leaders Manchester City.
The FA Cup last season and the League Cup this one; all I’d really like to win now is the Premier League, and then my domestic glory will be complete. I doubt I’ll be able to win the Premier League for some time yet (not unless I quit Oxford to manage a better club), but hopefully someday the Premier League trophy will be lifted by my Oxford United team, and we’ll officially be the best club in England.
