Well that's it, not a great game but we are still top on 8 points, and all still to play for. Thanks to all the guys that joined in tonight, Mrs Fabregas has been doing some sterling work on the blog, whilst punching me and telling me how bad I am. If the Ref had given the penalty we deserved, if Ramsey had put 2 chances away and if the ref had actually played the minutes due we would have won. If If If. If wishes were pounds eh?

Night and Laters from Mrs F and the Dog and with help from Apple Ben!
