Stand down...turned it off now as eating.

A lovely home made bolognese with Pavarotti in the background (Questa o quella at the moment) and a lovely Barolo. Actually as close to the feeling of winning the cup final in May that I can create.

Unfortunately now I have 'La donna e mobile' playing and all i can hear in my head are the words "Paolo Di Canio"....

Mbemba is class, remember wanting him for Saints when he was at Newcastle

Class from Mbappe.

Shall i turn it back on yet?

 

[tomw24]

Well done referee for getting the yellow card out as soon as they surround him.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Great result for Poch, Bayern will no doubt have Lewandowski back for the second leg but should be a cracker.

One of my favourite away games

Same here. Though mostly because it is just around the corner...

Owner more interested in rugby. Cheaper to make them good than the football team. Invested quite heavily probably about a decade ago in the playing side (David James signed on big wages) but didn’t work out and been more prudent on the playing side since.

Has invested in the infrastructure though so should breed some success you’d think. City the size of Bristol should’ve had more success on the football front but is what it is

My Bristol City supporting mate tells me his plan is to produce a sporting club. He has been working hard trying to get them a new ground but has had to content with repositioning and rebuilding the ground on the present site.

Quick shout out for Nigel Adkins. Two wins and a draw since taking over at Charlton leaves them sniffing at a play off place. Good luck Nigel!

Good win for Bournemouth as well in the Championship. Basically 5 teams chasing 4 play-off places.

Not if it edges out Pompey!

I suspect that is not going to be a popular opinion.

You are definitely correct there but who cares about popularity? For the récord, I would love to see Nigel Adkins get success again. Even winning a play-off final at the expense of You Know Who, because PFC would struggle in the Championship with the current squad. And the owners would be unlikely to lavish a few millions in upgrading the squad.

Both Man City and Leicester lost this weekend before the semis.


Just saying.

Maddison missing today due to covid breach is a bit annoying.
