Jeez! I hope I don't get many more days like today, both games have been really weird.
Finger nails down to bone stuff, even though both games ended with 3-0 wins.
Ravers maintain there 12 point lead in the league were still only 7 points separate the eight teams below us, glad I'm not in that mix, guy who was third this morning is now sixth, it's manic and god knows who will clinch the CL places.
What on paper looked a relatively easy game went exactly the same way as the earlier CL game but took until the 44 minute to break though, Tommy Briggs (aka Pardeu/Pepp) with a solo effort.
Shearer made it two after some good work through the centre beating most of the Spanish defenders and passing square for Shearer to slot it home.
Eddie Latheron made it three with a vicious strike from 30 mtrs on 85 minutes allowing Ravers to bring on three subs, recently injured Parkes and Fazackerly letting the engine know they were fit and ready to go, the third was MF Sherwood replacing Tugay who had been warned twice by the ref, with two bookings coming within 5 minutes on the 80 minute mark for the Spaniards it was time to clear the decks.
When I said weird at the start, weird as in, all players ratings were well under par, all 7's with MOM Shearer 8, the whole squad is suffering a dip in form since yesterday, something is a miss and I expect I'll find out just what is planned tomorrow.![]()
