The Round Ball Game - II

[jayne lee wilson]

Was anyone else here lucky enough to watch the Juve 3 Porto 2 CL 2nd Leg?
Surely one of the greatest of CL matches, with two teams desperate to win, highly skilled in constant attack and counter attack, bars, posts, great saves and near-misses..... Porto down to 10 men after 54', the away goals rule intensifying the tension through to extra time...

Somehow Porto made it - they got through!
Scarcely a bad foul or a poor decision anywhere over 120 minutes....This was The Beautiful Game at its European best.

Great result, Edge. Did I notice that the 'pool also picked up a point as well?

Indeed ....

Altrincham 1 Hangers 1 ...... hanging in there as the monkey ..........

looked at in a certain light, losing by three at city with key players being rested (with yet another three games in a week and a number of first teamers still out injured) with important games coming up isn't the worst possible result. Worrying that Moussa had to go off though. Think he'll be a great player in a couple of years time, if he is a good learner.

Sunday's the one you want three points (aka six points) from, ts.

To be honest, I thought it would be a lot worse. Not the worst possible result indeed given the important ones to come.

No game today for us, covid in the Dagenham squad.
Keep expecting Sutton to fall away but they keep winning

MotD found nothing worth analysing in Palace's 1-0 victory against surely doomed WBA - fair enough. My brief WhatsApp comment to offspring was echoed by Al Shearer: Job done ...

Come on Wednesday, keep it up v Norwich!!

Half time - I’ve run out of fingers and toes to cross, hoping that even top of the table sides can have an ‘off-day’.

Twas not to be - no joy to be had.

I notice that Alison's crew mugged the other Sheffielders, cloughie.

Serves ‘em right for sacking Wilder - his board don’t understand the parachute yo yo game - anyway they won’t get the six points reward from us next season, we’ll be busy entertaining Accrington, Fleetwood and more than likely Forest Green.
