2 More wins...

We only drew against Birmingham, and in fairness, we almost didn't even manage that. The first half was a dismal performance that had us snoring loudly enough to be heard on Match of the Day. Birmingham, quite normally, had 10 men behind the ball everytime we got control, and the referee was hardly top drawer. We discussed Chris Foy, and we decided that he is the referee we have when we always ask "Who is this guy again?"

The plan was to win the next three home games to win the title at Stamford Bridge. We blew that at the first attempt. Things changed though when Man Utd played bottom of the table Narridge City in the evening fixture. The mighty Canaries battered United 2-0 and everything was back on.

We play Arsenal next week, and if we can beat them, we can lift the title at home by beating Fulham on St Georges Day, 50 years to the day since we last won it by beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at The Bridge. If we fail to beat Arsenal though, we won't be able to win it by beating Fulham, so the Arsenal game is very important.

Back to the Champions League tomorrow evening, with a trip to Munich. This should be a good trip.

One final word for our friends in Barcelona who, lets remind ourselves, said English football was of such a poor standard that no English team would go through to the quarter finals. Well, not only did all Spanish teams fall at that particular hurdle, but a 4-2 defeat to La Liga title rivals Real Madrid at the weekend was orchestrated by the England captain David Beckham. Michael Owen also scored.
