What a game this is so far.
More action in 30 minutes here than in three months of our games.
Different league.

The attacking talent, and intent, is quite remarkable.Quote:

That?s because they have elite players in all three of their forward positions. Players that (Diaz aside) would cost well over 100m. They also have more of the same on their benches.Quote:

But yes, what a great half of football. We won?t be trying to replicate it though because we simply do not have the facilities. 0-0 would be lovely.
****ing harsh penalty on HT imoQuote:

Yes. Just so anxiety levels are through the ****ing roof for 100 minutes...Quote:
