I don't think anyone expected them to be as strong as they have been. It's great to see that they're doing it properly too.

Amazing place, Arbroath's stadium. One of the only football league grounds where an errant free kick or a lusty, full blooded clearance can quite easily end up bobbing in the North Sea.
I'm a Montrose FC fan so I will comment no further on Arbroath's fortunes.

I reckon the Moray Firth will contain a few footballs as well.

Swansea down to 10 men and we don't have a striker on the pitch. I'm not happy.

First game with spectators after lockdown, Utrecht come back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. New signing Henk Veerman involved in two goals, scored the winner. I'm very happy.

Certainly deserved the points and plaudits from last nights game. Their manager spoke well at the end too.

While I know it's often harder to play against 10 than 11 I'm very disappointed at losing 1 -0 to Swansea. A draw would have been OK but losing is a poor result.
We started with John Buckley, arguably our best midfielder, playing up front and two strikers on the bench. Khadra and Diaz should both have started, Diaz was possibly tired after time away with Chile but it would have been better to sub him once we had built a lead than use him as sub when chasing the game. Not starting with these two made it very difficult to get our usual pressing, high tempo game going. We did in the final 10-15 minutes when it was too late to wear Swansea down.
We had five, perhaps six, excellent chances of which one fell to Buckley and four to central defenders. It's not often I disagree with Mowbray's team selection but I feel he got it wrong yesterday.
Falling away is not an option as looking back over recent weeks it's clear other clubs have found it very difficult to regain momentum. We have to win on Wednesday.

Meanwhile in Wales, it's the Nathaniel MG cup final. Cardiff Met vs Connah's Quay. 0-0 after 90 minutes. Look away now:
Connah's Quay win 10 - 9 on penalties!
7 0'clock tonight everyone (who's pretending it's not happening but of course, it is), we have the final of the AFCON and Liverpool are guaranteed to have a player with another medal; this one for being the champion of his continent (yes, they've both got one for Europe - but that's not their continent), Africa!
Sadio has already flown fifty Senegalese supporters to Cameroon for the final out of his own pocket and apparently there may be more there also paid by him tonight. A truly wonderful human being, Sadio. Gave a $693,000 donation to build a hospital in his village in Senegal.
Mo Salah is in the process of funding a hospital and school in his hometown of Nagrig in Egypt.
Two really great human beings who've done wonders with their blessings and if there's any way of an honourable draw where both these men could be champions, it would only be right!

Seriously, who's pretending it isn't happening? I lost a bit of interest after Algeria (I like Camus) f*cked it up, but I've still been enjoying games when I can.
Good for Sadio, and Salah. That's highly commendable.
These men are multi-millionaires. And I'm glad that they're distributing their wealth, but the bee you've had in your bonnet about this competition has been a bit weird.
Anyway, I think Senegal will win.

Forest showed some old style grit against old rivals Leicester. Without Grabban, theyve been short of goalscorers barring loanees, something they really need to fix. Great game, poor performance by Leicester who never really, truly looked dangerous.

The half time chat was more interesting than the game so far.
