The Round Ball Game - II

[teamsaint]

Left ourselves just too much to do after their awful start in the tournament, cloughie; or after losing that late Kane goal v England, 3 points which would have had us home and dry. Such is life...we need a Challenge Cup or something to keep us occupied for the next couple of years.

Bad luck JC. At least you were in contention, which hasn't always been the case. Hopefully WGS can get you over the line for the Euros.

Thanks for your weekend round ups, ER.

Much appreciated.

Didn't go today, but it was on Sky. Saints are a shambles at the moment,considering the talent in the squad.A point is better than nothing though. Self evidently.

At least we had a couple of goals to cheer for a change.

Watched the second half of the Man Utd game yesterday. They are such a typical JM side now, rather sad to see. I Like to see United teams playing with flair, not niggling and boring their way through games.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Another abysmal performance from the Owls but great win for Truro City. White Tigers in the first round proper - hopefully a good home tie against a fallen giant!

[Lat-Literal]

Further to my comment on Vardy which turned out to be spot on - Lukaku, Ritchie, Atsu etc......these people are "injured" for internationals and will be as right as rain next Saturday.[/I]

And sure enough, Lukaku, Ritchie and Atsu all played.

Shocking weekend of football - Arsenal loss, a last minute goal, a non-penalty; York City - two up before conceding two; and a horrifying low score in fantasy football.

Same here,Arsenal,Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City defeats blew my Saturday accumulator out of the water

I suppose Charlton are a fallen giant of sorts,but away.
Hereford home to Telford (could have been us going there if things had worked out differently),Chelmsford at Gateshead if they win the replay.

This evening

Leicester City 1 West Brom 1 Late equaliser,just 1 league win this season,in the bottom 3

Strong rumours on the internet that Mr Mourinho is quite keen on a move to Paris St Germain.

This is a late acquisition of the Guardiola Principle:

Only ever manage clubs which would win League competitions even if a monkey was in charge.

On Spotlight (BBC SW News) this evening the City team seem delighted with the draw - a chance against one of the bigger boys on a bigger pitch - a side that won the cup as recently as 70 years ago! And the Prem 10 years ago!

Congratulations to the Toon Army on the news that Mike Ashley is leaving.

The best thing since the "sad" loss of Wonga.
