Back to the Future Manchester City Chelsea Premier League 2011 2012
Etihad Stadium,
Manchester
Referee: M. Dean
After their elimination from the Europa League, Manchester United and Manchester City have no choice but to focus absolutely on their Premier League face-off. The context of the rivalry only heightens the intensity: there are no consolations for the club that comes second. United have the one point advantage and will seek to extend that lead at struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers, knowing that Manchester City have to face a resurgent Chelsea on Wednesday. This is how it is going to be from here on in. Which club is better positioned? Manchester United certainly have the momentum, having won seven of their last eight league games. What happened in the other game? They came back from 3-0 down to draw with Chelsea. Their domestic confidence has been in complete contrast to their European fragility.

Never at any time during the nine long months of the 1978-79 season did it seem remotely likely that Chelsea could avoid another relegation experience. One bad result followed another with depressing regularity and when Shellito resigned in December the position was once again one of desperation. By appointing the legendary Danny Blanchflower, the famous Irish international and captain of the Spurs 'double' side, as his successor, the directors took a gamble. Since his playing career ended in 1963 be bad been out of the game and working as a sports journalist. He simply loved football. He was a theorist who would expound his ideas to many an enthralled audience who might, or might not, he able to follow his reasoning. Certainly his players at Chelsea never responded to his rhetoric, or fully understood where he was trying to take them. Players moved out. Some like Bill Garner were pensioned off, others brought in cash to fill up the empty coffers, among them Steve Wicks and Kenny Swain who threw in their lot with Derby County and Aston Villa respectively. Blanchflower's recruits included Duncan McKenzie, a mercurial figure and brilliant artist with the ball, and Kamonn Bannon a Scottish half-back from Heart of Midlothian who, sadly, never settled into the Knglish game. And with Bonetti's 21-year Chelsea career finally over, his successor was the Yugoslav keeper Petar Borota. Brilliant one day, awful the next. Never consistent, he loved to entertain the crowd with his unique brand of showmanship and clowning. The Chelsea fans took him to their hearts, prepared to overlook his blunders and frequent disasters. Meanwhile, Chelsea managed a mere five League victories and their total of 20 points was a new, and unwanted club 'record'.
