Well I am sorry Robert but I don't think my explanation makes it sound like that at all.

Of course cup ties are an extreme example.

But I have been to league games where the crowd has been instrumental in wins or draws.

But what do I know. I've only been following City since 1961!!!!!

And incidentally the point I meant to add to my first response was that it was a bit premature to start wondering about this after so few games.

There may be something more happening but it ain't necessarily so.
