Two match reports for you lovely folks

Decided to watch the Yeovil Vs Leeds game before I went to see Stockport just to check in on Lundstram and Duffy

Yeovil lost 2-1 but neither were at fault for the goals. God was to blame if anyone as there was a near biblical wind. The goalie kicked the ball and the wind blew it back towards his goal and to the feet of a Leeds player for the equaliser. Then, a Leeds player knocked a free kick into the box from near the half way line and the ball went flying into the goal.

Lundstram showed some promise but I think he needs more time in the oven as he's not cooked just yet. He got subbed on about 88 minutes

Duffy had a decent game and blocked at least two clear shots on goal. I am in no doubt that he's ready to be back up CB for us. He has good instincts, size, isn't afraid to get forward and is also good in the air. Martinez will be able to craft him into a top level player. Him and Stones could be our first choice CB pairing in 5 years time.

After that, I went to the Stockport game against Stalybridge. County won 2-0 and were generally the better team throughout. Stand out players were Adriano Moke, Kristian Dennis and MOTM Chris Churchman.

Dennis got the first goal with a confidant strike while he was 1 on 1 with the keeper. The 2nd goal came as a result of our friend the wind again. Number 3 Scott Duxbury put a cross into the box and the wind blew it past the keeper and into the net

Stalybridge's number 10 used to play for County and was hated by the fans. He ended up getting sent off in the 2nd half, which led to a chant of "Cheerio" from the home fans.

Attendance was 3,107 and County are the form team in the league right now, losing only 1 in 9

Overall, a fun day. I look forward to journeying down to London tomorrow for the Everton match
 
That same line would apply to your manager when you lost to them.

Anyway gooner in peace, bad result, hate losing to your neighbours, especially with David Brent in charge. They won't win the league, they'll finish 3rd/4th. Most likely the latter. Good luck tomorrow. Young Timmy's 4-4-2 at home should play into your hands.

Hey mate,fair point, i would say tho that wenger had the advantage of our game as a warning of how not to set up vs that lot though, so was a bit of a worse tactical choice by him given that fact

For what its worth think youll comfortably still finish top 4 this year, although think 3rd looks the likely spot now, and youll bounce back with a win against ginger nuts as he bottles it once again at your place, i fear for you vs barca tho mate
 
pretty poor quality, but monk with a masterclass bringing on hernandez, wonder through ball.

lets hope that dashes the kopites of wales' spirits and we won't have to sit through them in the prem next season. only good thing to happen in the sporting world today.
 
Cardiff fans will go on a killing spree in Swansea after this.

good job i've moved to cardiff. a cardiff ST holder has to pick me up on monday to drive me to a course, tempted to wear my swansea shirt for the first time in a while.

ultimate popcorn. thanks for the lift mate.
 
Interested to see the betting for the FA Cup in Scotland outright now. Aberdeen are favourites and Rangers second favs. I have no idea how Rangers compares to the other Scots Prem clubs anymore.
 
Taarabt puts Milan ahead at Napoli on what I presume is his debut.

Napoli in terrible form at the moment.

edit: 1-1, Inler deflected.
