Well none of us in our Bragging Rights Only Competition saw that one coming. Palace thrash Spurs 3-0. several of us had it down as a draw, but 0-3 was not expected. I will wait for half time before adding next comments – 7+ minutes to go.
FOOTBALL WEEK 4
FOOTBALL
This weeks game for bragging rights has last weeks winner, Maz, going high for total number of goals (like me), whilst Adam and Andy Logan are being more realistic! The average from the results earlier this week would indicate an expected 40 goal total so I reckon me and Maz might have got over optimistic! 8 of the 14 matches have a unanimous agreement on the result. And the FA cup continues, look out for Jersey Bulls, Sporting Khalsa, Runcorn Linnets, Hartley Wintney, warrington Rylands and Oxhey Jets amongst others!

REFLECTIONS
Firstly the eloquence of Gareth Southgate in defeat. No hiding behind rhetoric or falsehoods. Straight answers and an apology. Secondly, we were out thought tactically by a better, if rather dirty, side. Our boys will mature and I believe be a formidable unit in the next World Cup, if they can survive the heat of the Arabian desert!
