How's your footy team doing?

Enjoy the cricket and the ToB. 🙂

We didn’t feel at all vulnerable at the football, we were in our usual seats, row C on the middle tier, and well ventilated it most certainly was. There was an absolutely freezing, howling gale blowing straight at us, more  like mid winter than May.

Good luck to our rivals, United, in their European final in Gdańsk tonight. Their fans will have even more formalities to go through than ourselves, and have to self isolate on returning home. Any CT people going to the match? I know we have some United fans on the forum.

Gdańsk looks an interesting place to visit, but bet it will be warmer in Oporto 🙂

So Sad for United -- Penalties all the way down to the keepers

 So  it ends up  Villareal 1 (11 pens) -- 1 (10 pens ) United

 A Valiant try but no silver Trophy alas.

Listened to the 'Big Match' from Portugal  last night 

Probably the most appalling radio commentary I've ever heard -- more like a group of mates leaning on the fence chatting .  Seldom did they tell us which side had the ball, nor which half they were actually in.  And this from the "National Broadcaster's" prime radio sports channel.

Do hope they get their act together by Wednesday when the TMS Team start with the coverage of the England ~~ New Zealand Test Matches  or Yours Truly will be firing off grumpy emails  again !!

Back from Porto, worn out! 
Enjoyed the trip and the match, congrats to Chelsea, by far the better team.

Think our covid vaccinations have been challenged by the flight out from Manchester, people singing and dancing in the aisle on the plane, including the flight cabin crew. 9am in the morning, beer supply sold out, so drinkers had to buy wine instead.

Much quieter returning home this lunchtime, as you might expect.

Need to do our Day 2 DIY Covid tests on Monday, fingers crossed....🙂

Commiserations on the match Pliers, and fingers crossed for your test🤞

 At least you could enjoy the game, Pliers, even if the result was not as ordered   { rather like your beer it seems  }

Not exactly my team(s) but with Morecambe winning the League 2 play-off it means that each of those teams that just missed automatic qualification for promotion, in the English leagues, have in fact been promoted, ie Brentford to the Premiership, Blackpool to the Championship and now Morecambe to League 1. Is this a regular occurrence or not?

Town doing the business early this window. We’ve signed a keeper, a centre back, a striker ( well re-signed Jordan Rhodes) and a full back with another full back to come.

Mind you in true Yorkshire fashion it’s all been done on the cheap so far, all the above are free transfers

UTT Rog

Pliers - I don't suppose by any chance you are the Manchester City supporter that Jeremy Clarkson claims to have been punched in the mouth by?

And if, by chance you are, allow me to virtually shake your hand! 

Totally innocent 😇.

Michael Gove was also spotted in the Ribeira district of Porto, wearing a  Chelsea shirt.  I’m sure he was previously a QPR fan. Never trust a man who changes his alliance 😱.
