Another Champions League game tonight...

RB Leipzig v Liverpool

This is curious because Jurgen Klopp has recently started a new "job" as Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer*. Red Bull part own, as well as Leeds and a few others, RB Leipzig. This is a bit unfortunate. No idea what he'll actually be doing.

*Yes I know, it's Football.

What year did you come off it? O_o

Actually driving through Spaghetti Junction isn't as daunting as they say, as long as you observe the signs and stick to the correct lane. We used to have a bus route from Leicester to Birmingham that went via there and the manoeuvre was simply a left turn from M6 to A38 Aston Expressway.

FT

RB Leibzig 0-1 Liverpool

The word is the Scousers were very poor tonight and Slot will be displeased. The worst performance since Forest was another report. But never mind, they scraped through. Charlie Darwin Nunez saved the game having "poked one home" as the BBC romantically put it, but he was left fuming when the ref failed to give him a penalty after a cheating Red Bull shyster had him over in the box. In fact Charlie had to be hauled off at HT by Van Dick after approaching the ref to give him a gob full.

Nunez shows off his Michael Flatley dance before "poking one home"...

One PL game today, a vitally important derby....

FT

Leicester 1-3 Forest

I am utterly appalled and I don't know where to lay the blame. Gurning Cooper finally accepted his mistakes and fielded Fat Abdul alongside Mavisdidi with Fatcundo behind and Jamie in front, creating a superb attacking formation. Sadly the other end of the field was less inspiring. Forest scored first but Jamie equalised soon after, but the second half was a disaster. Forest were all over us and we were left embarrassed as Chris Wood (ex Leicester himself a long time ago) took a brace (2) to seal the points.

Whatever is going wrong needs sorting now, otherwise we are in for seven months of relegation battles. Cooper has to go, the squad are talented but he can't create a balance.

Typical Forest challenge, poor Fat Abdul has no chance against this.

Meanwhile Cooper appears to not give a shiny shite.

Sooner the better for the fans, he was getting more applause from the Forest fans yesterday who love him as he got them promoted to the PL a few seasons ago.

Today's PL fixture, yes just the one again...

Villa

v Bournemouth

I doubt there'll be time for a match report as I'm out till god knows when tonight.

Meanwhile here's a photo from the 1972 fixture, I bet that's a young Technician there acting like an unruly shyster...

And quite a few more too, Sis. Everton, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Accrington Stanley, Oldham Athletic, Redcar Boot Boys....the list is quite long. est13

On the bright side they'll be 4th tomorrow when Arsenal beat the Scousers. Oh hang on...

Yes FT today...

Villa

1-1 Bournemouth

Villa monumentally screwed that right up, having scored late in the 75th minute, arrogantly decided to back heel and play for the 1-0 win. The Cherries were having none of it and got their well earned point on 96 minutes. Great stuff, Bournemouth! clp2

Well played that Cherry...
