Who would have thought it eh? Well to be honest I did - taking the weekly sweepstakes for the 2nd time since the New Year by predicting a 0-2!!!
I was probably the only person in the ground happy withe the last minute penalty decision....Sid was furious, next to me, He had put down 0-1 and stood to win the lot until Mejuto pulled that one out of the bag...
It was interesting to see Tim (the referee's comments9 on the game. It was a nightmare to referee as neither side helped Mejuto at all (I also think he is one of the best refs in Spain). He got the Eto'o pen wrong, but i still think it is almost impossible to call at full speed (in fact Sid and I both got it wrong in the game)
if you want to see bad refereeing, the clown who did the Deportivo - Athletic game yesterday took the biscuit....needless to say Athletic came off worse...
Anyhow, just to clear something up, I don't think we will be doing the Tsunani charity game Sid mentioned, but we will be doing UEFA - Valencia - Steaua Bucharest....Have to put my money on Valencia for that one. I have seen Steaua in the group stage (lost to Athletic 1-0, but it could have been 3 or 4)...
At the moment back in a rainy Madrid stricken with flu and traumatised by horrendous flight back from Barcelona through 400 miles of cloud!!
the sacrifices we make to bring you live football...
cheers PAUL
