Feisty Football

Derby matches can be dreadful either because the football is not pretty or because the result is the wrong way. You takes you chances and I have come away from many happy but with friends supporting the opposition so celebrations have been muted and very down when they prevailed. But so much better to be there than stuck by a radio. Today's Liverpool derby was battle of penalties and still Liverpool have to concede a goal from open play; today's we scored for them. I reckon Rafa is missing his side kick - well something must explain some of the strange decisions to date but we will take the luck this time.

Anyway illness is still plaguing the family and restricting movement which is a shame as I love this time of year. Must make some firm plans very soon or I will retired before I am half way to my target!

Autumn browns

Its mad this season. Numerous 1-0 Premiership scorelines and then we get the other extreme of 7-4! It's all gone nuts.

Thoughts of visiting Elland Road today until a recent illness downed me. Try again in a few weeks or maybe I'll try mid week somewhere close.
