The Round Ball Game - II

Brendan’s teams can have off days.

I hope Rangers have an off-day at the weekend, Alison.

Rooting for the Owls and the dapper Cloughmeister tonight.

The Toon are going to sell Joe Linton …. I hear the Buddies cheque book opening …..

Thanks Alison - clearly it partly worked - well at least we’re in the draw for the fifth round.

Yeah they do, anton; though the Buddies were unlucky to lose by the odd goal in one in Paisley yesterday against the blue side of the Firm. Fifth, so out of the European places for the moment, which doesn't bother me much. More importantly, 17 clear of the automatic relegation spot...

It was good of the Tractor Boys to do their bit to keep 'the magic of the Cup' alive.
I believe only one of the starting 11 played against Leicester - that's not an excuse. merely an observation!

The Buddies would need to flog some of the swag from the break-in to afford his Doctor's bills, anton!

Well maybe some of the missing players may have made better use of the 38 chances!

Every single match statistic was in our favour except the number of goals.

Villa 1 Toon 3 ……. Champion

Owls 0 Watford 0

Really needed 3 points for catchup - vital 6 pointer at Huddersfield on Saturaday!

Toon 4 Luton 4
missing Joe Linton
but what about
Bromley 1 Hangers 2

A mixed bag for the forum teams today, but top prize to the Buddies, I think. No comment on Wednesday’s effort. Leicester just showing everybody else up.

We finally overcame our Rotherham jinx with a steady win. The pressure at the top is remorseless, and Leeds are in a great run of form. Going to be a very tough run in.
