Well done Thomas Cook... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fans-left-stranded-liverpool-11589045
Undoubtedly the game of the weekend, the Bundesliga derby match Borussia Dortmund v Schalke 04 and an amazing comeback...
Fantastic trademark goals from Charlie..... GOAL - Southampton 2-1 Everton Charlie Austin (52 mins) Ryan Bertrand's cross from the left is met by Charlie Austin at the near post, he beats Michael Keane to the ball and rattles a header against the underside of the crossbar and in. please log in to view this image Steve Claridge Ex-Premier League striker, BBC Radio 5 live at St Mary's I don't see why he hasn't started games. This is a really good finish, he gets between the centre-halves and he anticipates the cross like all good goalscorers do, heading it off the underside of the bar. please log in to view this image GOAL - Southampton 3-1 Everton Charlie Austin (58 mins) It's almost a carbon copy of his first. This time Dusan Tadic crosses from the left and Charlie Austin arrives in the box and leaps high to send a powerful header to the far corner. Awful Everton defending. please log in to view this image
Delighted for Austin. Manager mustn’t really fancy him though. What else can explain his lack of game time for a team struggling to score.
Some interesting footage on MOTD of Guardiola coaching Sterling on his body shape when he receives the ball. He got right in Sterling’s face and demonstrated what he wanted him to do about 4 times. Lo and behold he does it in games now. Then I thought thank god we have had similar passionate, knowledgeable, engaged managers like Harry Redknapp to coach our players in the same way. Before banging my head repeatedly on the floor whilst weeping quietly.
Doing well under a good manager. As did Adel. Some managers know how to motivate players. I remember posters saying we would finish higher than Cardiff? Someone described Warnock as the Ferguson of the Championship.
I see that Aaron Ramsey has joined the Ashley Young Mile High Flying Club, really can't imagine how you can get so high off the ground under such minimal contact and it was our old friend the Bolton supporting Lee Mason who couldn't give the big club the penalty quick enough...... Those marvellous pundits Keown and Kilbane on MOTD 2 just went on about contact in the area, nothing about whether it was actually a foul or not.......
A glorious 71 starts for us in the league in four years and a glorious 11 league goals from an estimated 468 shots all of which were cutting in from the left and an attempt at curling it into the far corner.
Interesting, have we started a trend? Charlton were trailing 0-2 against Peterborough last night with The Valley emptying fast going into injury time and hey-ho duly scored twice to get a draw...
