The Round Ball Game - II

[johncorrigan]

I suppose it was bound to happen, but Barnsley reported to be sniffing round our Manager. Don't go, Jack....please!

Apparently he's staying...whew! However we've now got McLeish as the National Manager...I may live to eat my words, but I think it's a totally bonkers decision. There, I've said it!

By the way, I loved that last goal by Mane last night for Liverpool...quality!

And what about Salah for the 2nd? Such cheeky, keepy-uppy panache...!

Good luck in the QF Alison. Big chance for you this year. Saints are at least scoring a goal or two now.

Thanks for the reports ER. Fingers crossed for a climb into the playoff zone for Stockport.
Shocker for the Scottish Saints. These things happen.

Good to see your Owl scored to see off the blades. At least we're in the hat for the 6th round - don't think Carlos' new boys will do a Notts Co on us!

Pleased to oblige last night Cloughers!

Swansea must be due a reverse pretty soon.

Our respective local teams not quite in the form they were.

[Alison]

So if Spurs get to the semi final they get to play at home??

I think they should be made to play on a neutral ground, maybe the Emirates!

[johncorrigan]

Disappointing...a victory yesterday would have put the Buddies out of sight, I reckon. Still, sometimes it's not about the good shots you hit, it's how you recover from the bad ones.
