I was a season ticket holder during our league 1 season, crowds were around 25,000!

Amazing, but it's quite exciting when you are fighting for a promotion, something sadly lacking just now.

 

What a draw for Liverpool! Surely they can get themselves into the final. Will be tough, but I wouldn't have fancied them over 2 legs against Bayern or Real.

Arsenal however......Ouch...

 

So following The Shrews draw against Bradford, if they're to get promoted, they'll have to do it via the play-offs and they can confirm their place there with another 5 points.

 

Good grief - Aberdeen 2-0 down against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup after 25;mi minutes. 2 goals in 3 minutes.

 

Mo Salah gets his 30th PL goal of the season, just one away from tying the 38-game record held by Shearer, Ronaldo and L. Suarez with 4 PL games to go.

 

How good can this Liverpool team be???
This from the match report on the BBC website - 'Liverpool's front three of Salah, Mane and Firmino have scored 83 goals this season,'
Salah's goal yesterday was incredible and Alexander Arnold's pass that led to it was unbelievable.

 

Under 23 team for the game against Wolves -
Oxborough; Aarons (C), Lund, Wallis, Aransibia; Power, Phillips, Stiepermann, Mourgos; Abrahams, Idah.
Subs: Hallett (GK), Milovanovic, Kamal, Payne, Fonkeu #TWOstrikers ??
Edit - NO Jarvis

 

Wolves have beaten Brum t earn promotion. #yawn

 

Two goals in two minutes for the City U23s, fine play from Phillips and Power for Abrahams to lash in, then a lovely chip from Stiepermann that the Wolves keeper can't keep out.

 

That league 1 season sh*ts on this season, and last.

 

Amazing what cheating can do! Not seen this before!! #Pompy #QPR #Bournemouth

 

City win the title while Pep is on a golf course with his son. Bottom and basically relegated WBA have won 1-0 at Old Trafford!

Jose will play it that he always said City have won the title, so doesn't matter. Where as actually, that is going to be killing him inside.

 

A few questions if you wouldn't mind:
Were you at the game JMF? If you were, how did Adam Idah look, did he look like he belonged? Is Power as fast as he's been billed to be? Phillips, Abrahams (goal aside)? Anyone who really stood out?

 

Sorry CS, but too much to do to get to this game, which is a shame, as I would have loved to have seen Idah 'in the flesh'. Interesting to see that Abrahams was subbed late in the game in preference to Idah!!
I've seen Abrahams a few times and feel he may be loaned out next season to see how he performs playing regularly

 

Thanks JM. I would go myself but the 5000 mile trip is a bit beyond my means .

 

So Rangers fans agree that Martin is USELESS.

Look forward to welcoming him back next season!

 

Agreed, as long as he's NOWHERE near the 1st team!!!

 

I'd rather just release him, why we extended his contract i'll never know.

 

Agreed and I get the feeling that it was a D&M decision and NOT one taken by SW/DF!!
