The build up for Harrogate Towns 1st game in this years champions league is electric around the stadium. Just under 2hours till kick off. Both teams are here and the Harrogate lads looked so relaxed after there league win at the weekend (earlier today). They have announced there squad and the only change is haruno in for cleverley to give a defensive midfield hold.
My CL draw. Two days ago i woulda have said "hey, there is a BIG chanche we get it this year!". Now after 3 straight losses, i wonder if my karma will allow it. First two came with a lot of pissing, the 3rd one wasn't even imagined in my wildest dreams so far. 3-0 ugh!
Well let's hope. few hours before CL kickoff.
Bah just got a phone call from work I need to be on an info session tommorrow at 6pm. But I got a cup match against yet again a stronger opponent at 6.37pm. Guess it's gonna be a game on the phone with possible bad connection and slow adjustings.
Good start into the league.
MOTM: Reinebo.
That is strange since Tonseth scored and prepared twice, shame I bought him last season, he is my Chuck.

City started the defence of our championship, with a win in Turkey against a new opponent. Only sour note was that manager, Billy Wheeler was sent to the stand after a rant to the fourth official, over an incident where our star midfielder was injured by a crude tackle from the host's reserve 'keeper, who was playing in central midfield.
Result: HAKKI FC 0-4 LONDON CITY
Goals: Flanagan 5, Morgada 20, Gentile 71, Mueller 78.
M.o.M: Hector Morgada (LC).
We were soon into our stride in this opening league match and Seamus Flanagan opened the scoring early on. Hector Morgada added another midway through the first half. Two goals in the space of seven minutes from Willem Gentile and substitute, Rudolph Mueller near the end, gave the scoreline a comfortable look. We had two players injured during the game, the first after 19 minutes when a poor lunge from the home side's reserve goalie, playing in midfield, put Marcus Bentley out of the game. Lukas Duran also suffered a last minute hamstring strain.
We got our champions league campaign under way with a slightly uneasy win at home against what looks like, on paper, the weakest team in our group.
Result: LONDON CITY 3-1 ELHART FC
Goals: Flanagan 38, Flanagan 54, King 84, Diaz 85.
M.o.M: Jan Fredriksen (LC).
With 4 midfielders unavailable for selection, due to injury, we had a scratch team out for the match. Our Argentinian visitors had the better of the first half-hour, but we held firm. Seamus Flanagan headed our first goal from a Larry Redknapp corner, just before the interval. After the break, we finally got it together as a team, and Flanagan doubled the lead after a pass from Teddy King. King himself added a third with a solo effort 6 minutes from time. But there was still time for Diaz to pull one back, before the end.
