Very competetive game, and for once the good fortune went our way. Hey at least the ball from Risse's header actually DID cross the line, so no complaints over that one.
A very even game with both teams having their turn at dominating. Two goals from defensive howlers was the only way this was not gonna end up 0-0. For all the decent goal attempts from both sides, both defenses played well enough to keep everything else out.
Ashley Cole is actually getting worse with every game. I want Bridge in his place. Didi's histrionics seem to be making a comeback. I don't like it at all, its a little embarrassing, but considering that Didi or Frank haven't trained for over a week now, they did pretty well.
The Bison will be back for the second leg so that gives us an edge at the Bridge. We do miss him when he's not there.
So, an away goal to us huh? Luverly stuff. Puts us in pole position for the return leg at the Bridge, where Rafa's 'pool have never, ever scored a goal. This aint the league I know, but its a nice thought to be going on with.
You could hear a pin drop in the Kop, after that goal went in during added time last night. I laughed my socks off at those red faces as they struggled to accept what happened. Now they know how it feels, and I hope it hurts.
C'MON YOU BLUES
