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!
