Isn't football marvelous? 

5-0 one game, 0-5 the next. Can't take anything for granted.  Riera has t shirt then gets injured, who would have thought? New stadium? Perhaps, but old stadium not happy.  Understandable. Still, everything to play for and nothing to lose. Marvelous.

As a Man U fan I'm pretty so ck of all the moyes talk. The EPL manager of the season story is surely a flip of the coin between Martinez and Rodgers. These guys are going great work.

Suarez on fire, Liverpool were always gonna be top 6 Everton were going to be mid table. Both are in with a shout of doing their fans extremely proud. Reds for the League, and Hull for the cup would  make it a very good season...and Everton to visit these shores.

Martinez v Rodgers? Rodgers if pool win it and toffees fail to make CL. Martinez if toffees make CL and pool don't win it. What if pool win AND toffees make CL?

Brilliant, fine day in wellywood. All junior football on, ground soft and muddy patches.

Game of two halves, honours shared, good spirit from both sides. Football was the winner.

Pitch was rather heavy and lots of slipping over. But still enough in the pitch to play decent passing footy.

So very Jazz Club...... grrrrrreat!

Make that one draw and three wins in a row.

(Before that it was 8 games and 4 points)

If two goals are scored tomorrow, it will be the most scored in a WC tournament.
