The atmosphere, though, was noticeably distinct from the strange sense of toxic congealment that tends to accompany a men's international match. |
The likely presence of Olivier Giroud as a starting centre-forward might also seem baffling to anyone who watched Arsenal's title congealment from January through to April. |
And yet the past two years have brought little more than a sense of energetic congealment. |
On the other hand City have experienced a quiet congealment, winning just twice at home – against Sheffield Wednesday and Tottenham – in six matches going back to August. |
Death by processes of congealment must carry an added sting if one had to die in a suit of pink rompers buttoning down the back. |
On the pitch at the Alvogenvollurinn the second half is a slow congealment towards a scoreless draw. |
