If you thought the champions League draw was a shambles ... It had to be re-run because of United. Or thought that the African Cup of Nations was a farce, then you should have been there for the picking on Wednesday.  Gary was picked for both sides and he wasn't even playing. I got Brian but immediately sent him out on loan till Chris arrived. Bren was my 1st pick, but he then refused to play in goal!  Jay let me get away with murder including giving me 6 v 5 ... & got thrashed. 

Who'd have thought Konate would get 2 in the 1/4 finals,  or that Brian would smack 2 long range volleys in the net, before Bren, dashing in from the left, his little legs going 10 to the dozen, in his blue and yellow lycra, looking like Sonic the Hedgehog, before unleashing a thunderbolt into the top corner, with Johnny being caught on film being slagged off for kicking the floor, Konate-esque, and letting Bren in.

4-0 up, I think Dave got another, alternating between brilliance and complete ineptitude, especially when he went in goal to even the sides up. Whites got 1 back as Dave dived at GaryW's feet. He's got it! No, he pushed it back, he's got it again, no!  He was like a kitten playing with a ball of string.

I think it ended up 7 - 2.  Great match in the circumstances, & even better in the pub.

MoM?  Several contenders including Chris for battling the M56, Gary P for videoing the 1st ever live +30 goal, or Bren for scoring it.  But it has to be Weirder Brian for his stunning brace, despite thereafter kicking every ball 1st time.
