match report

as most of you will know we were there sponsoring a shirt and in the draw after the match we has filip kiss's away shirt. mrs will be happy with a snog from fil!

it was amazing, i don't know about other spectators, but from where i was behind the home team dugout, at pitch level the match was played at a tremendous pace with nothing asked and nothing given.

declan, he can only be 5ft nothing john has to start against west ham. caulker and turner like rocks at the back. they only scored because we switched off at a possible free-kick to us that was not given.

having said that, for most of the first half they ran us ragged and moved the ball around at a staggering pace. their goalie palmed a cross and seconds before the interval whitts said thanks. a break-out early in the second half saw us double our lead, before they scored following a disputed not given free kick

we soaked up tremendous pressure against a team that once put manure out of the european cup. good preparation.

glad slumdog enjoyed himself
