Apologies it's been a while. Weird kick offs, other commitments and new PC mean I've not been on in a while. I think everyone is happy post Gary Neville. Pako will take the team to safety, and a new man can come in and do his thing. Fingers crossed it's Pellegrini for the new season, that would be amazing. Last game v Sevilla was a much, much improved performance overall and a welcome, and deserved, three points. However, up next is the hardest match in the season, away to Barcelona. They're on a bit of a form dip, but fully expect them to turn up on the day. A bit too much for us at this time, but I don't expect another 7-0 hosing. Additiona details to come.

What an unbelievable game! From start to finish, every man gave his absolute all. Every coach asks his players to leave everything on the field. If you give 100%, and the result doesn't go your way, that's fine, you couldn't have done more. But if you continue to give 100%, you'll get what you put in.



Barcelona will rightly point to a lot of chances missed, and a number of superb saves by Super Diego, but you make your own luck in football. Without any luck, no-one would leave Camp Nou with any points.



We were excellent for 90 minutes. Mustafi was a rock at the heart of the defence and I'm liking more and more the partnership with Abdennour. Perez had a number of interceptions, Fuego marshaled the team from the beginning. Santi Mina LOVES scoring great goals against this team too.



Proper shout out to Alves though, he was brilliant. Why are there any doubts about this guy? He's contracted to us for another three years. Love it.



Home v Eibar on Wednesday, Metalla should be rocking.
