Was lovely to see Rooney celebrating his best mate (and 5-a-side team captain) Obama’s news, in style, by “dispatching” a very valuable penalty. Not to put a dampener on it (that sentence introduction is only heading one way) BUT still not confident in his penalty taking and would much rather ORVP was handed the task.
We weren’t great (such is our European wont) until Alan (Alan? Who the F*** is Alan?) put us behind – where we like being this season. ORVP (who else?) stepped in to save the day (how many times are we going to say that this season?), Rooney (bravely, or stupidly) put away the penalty and Hernanadez was Hernandez.
We’ve qualified for the next stage and so can exhale *Aaaaaahhhh*, unfortunately we managed it in the same manner we failed to qualify last season. As I’ve already said, I understand the “try and get through with minmal fuss” approach to the early stages, but I don’t like to think about what would have happened if we’d drawn as difficult a group as say Chelsea or City *Shudder*. Great that we can now give some players some experinece in the competition and concentrate on the league.
Amazing that Smalling is back! Amazing that Andesron “played” a full ninety. Now, fingers crossed for news on Fletcher – is he managing his condition, or has there been another set back?
MOTM: Andesron – cus I want to.
