The winter transfer window lasts the entire month of January.
Even though Manchester City announced an early end to their dealings, other teams continued to make signings.
So this month saw considerable fluctuation in the performance of various teams.
But Manchester City's performance didn't fluctuate.
They won two consecutive games, increasing their winning streak across all competitions to sixteen.
That was quite frightening.
However, due to their signings, the effect wasn't that shocking.
On January 21st, the English League Cup semi-finals were about to kick off.
England shifted its gaze from the noisy transfer activities to the pitch.
Because the competing teams were Middlesbrough and Bolton.
Fans: ???
Oh, no!
That's the other semi-final.
The other semi-final featured Manchester City against Arsenal!
Just ask yourself if you're excited or not.
Arsenal, currently undefeated in twenty-two rounds of the Premier League!
So strong it makes you shudder!
