  • Anyway, what a difference it makes to have 2 fit full-backs. Sagna is a monster, and Gibbs was very, very solid, and got a goal. Theo, great game, even managing to flatten his full back in the box in aerial challenge. The guy lay on the ground, probably in shock (or shame, more likely), for about 5 minutes.

    Also, watching the kick-about before the game, I had one of those, oh my god, that is so cool, football moments as Chamakh & Santos were hitting balls across the pitch and receiving them with the foot behind the standing leg, flicking the ball over their heads and then trapping the ball with the same foot in front of them. Brilliant, and all part of the actually being there match experience.
