How's your footy team doing?

A winning start for the recently promoted [ ex-- Assistant ]  Manager today.  Just keep on hoping for 'em to make the New Year in safety !!

Hmmm,  , wonder if Sir Michael Parkinson will be there to help  Harold { Dickie } Bird up the steps into the Guests Box to watch Barnsley get their comeuppance at the feet of Crewe Alexandra   in F.A. Cup, Round two !!

Another fantastic sound and light show, pre match, tonight. Started with Wonderwall, faded into Blue Moon, then into Joy Division’s Love will tear us apart. 

Game was pretty good, too. Nice to see Kalvin Phillips back in action after his long lay off. With he make England’s World Cup squad? Doubt it, but you never know!
⚽️🙂⚽️

Your's was not quite the nail biting affair compared to that at the London Stadium!! What a night for both set of fans that were there, especially the Rovers' ones including our SIL and grandson!! Not heard from them yet, but I bet they thoroughly enjoyed the night!!😀

 Bet they did🙂. 
Tried to get tickets for the big game at Burnley, tomorrow, ( v Rovers). Didn’t think we had enough loyalty points to qualify, and was right, we haven’t. Only went to 4 matches at the Turf last season, and they were pretty grim. 
Poor performance from City today v Brentford, maybe some of the players had their eyes on the World Cup 🤔. Never mind. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

SIL won't be going to the match, as there has been too much trouble in the past, and with both sides with the chance to go top with a win things could be rather hairy!!😖

Not a good result for you Pliers, but a decent win for  t'Alex today, so Brian should be pleased.

As I most deffo am Nell   even tho I've not yet seen a report !!

Hope Pliers is not too down hearted, well after all it's been a decent day

Decent away win for the Alex today even though they had to battle against a good Home side but still they managed to hang on to the one goal [ penalty ] that they scored  

Several arrests made or so I believe, Pliers.  Ain't it strange that after the W.C. with oh so little trouble reported the moment the normal, run of the mill football restarts we get the normal , run of the mill reports of viscous behaviour.  I'm so glad that I can support t'Alex without leaving the confines of t'Avenue  not, of course, that Crewites throw their money around like that, Cheshires a well known training ground for folks oop north east from 'ere
