The Case of the Unbroadcast Blues!…
Buckle your seatbelts and hold onto your remote controls, folks! Manchester City is all set to dance around the pitch again, this time against the scrappy Leicester City at their home turf, the Etihad Stadium. It’s been a wild ride to the FA Cup semi-finals, with City pulling off a great escape against Bournemouth! Erling Haaland’s penalty blunder had fans biting their scarves, but he quickly switched gears, leveling the scores like a Viking hero. Alas, the football gods weren’t cheering for long as Haaland popped his knee like a faulty spring, leaving Omar Marmoush to step in and score the winning goal with comic precision. Now, City is marching on to face Nottingham Forest at the Wembley carnival. Goooooal!
