Nowhere near the Vikings

Gutted but upbeat. Someone told me today that our Champions League record for the last two seasons is Won 16 Drawn 7 Lost 0. (If you include last night as a drawn match). Not bad seeing as its the toughest football comp in the world.

Foden and Zabba

Don't get too worked up about corners. According to OPTA about 3% of corners result in a goal. Or look at it another way. Harry Maguire is pretty useful at scoring from corners. Maybe we should buy him??

And score at the same rate as Drogba too?

Desperate to play. Not played a full 18 since Oct. After watching the Masters last week I know exactly what I need to work on (hit my drives a lot further, chip closer to the pin and sink a few putts) and will easily get my 20.1 handicap down to single figures.

Unless, like my son who was 21 on 1st August 2023 but got kicked out of the derby for being 22 the other week.

My lad has an 18-21 season card and was ejected immediately after entry today when a steward asked his age and he replied 22.The age restriction rules state you have to be in that age range at time of renewal, which he was. He had proof of date of birth on him but they didn’t want to know...

Your right

I bet you’re great granddad was fun in the trenches
