I watched Sevilla v Fiorentina last night.

I thought the first half was really enjoyable as it was end-to-end stuff, with Sevilla rather fortunate to be leading 1-0 at the interval.

At the start of the second half, Micah came on and after nearly 70 minutes, Pizzaro also came on, so there was a bit of a City connection in the Fiorentina ranks for the latter part of the game.

The second half was somewhat scrappy with Sevilla largely playing on the break and cashing in on some Fiorentina mistakes at the back.

Seeing Savic perform, I thought of Ted (I wonder if he was watching ??) and all the valid criticisms he directed at that player. Unfortunately, or not, Savic doesn't seem to have either changed or improved and exhibited all the faults we saw of him in a City shirt.

Micah's display was also very disappointing as, too often, he seemed to get caught continually out of position. We didn't see any of his characteristically rampaging runs (although his team mates didn't seem to want to pass to him overmuch) and when he did go upfield and the move broke down, he just seemed to saunter back in totally unconcerned fashion.

All in all, he looked very poor and Pizzaro also happened to be fairly anonymous when he came on, being unable to influence an albeit lost game by that time.

Interesting game though and Fiorentina have a most difficult task in trying to turn round that result in the second leg.

I try to limit my Savic watching to games where there is someone I'm keen to see in action playing for the oppo. He gets on my fucking tits.

I'm actually glad Micah didn't play well. Makes it easier to see him sign for someone else whilst Zabba does his Gary Neville impersonation.

Boro one up. Boo

That was great game as Championship playoffs usually are. Loved that

PSG drawing at home isn't a great result for us

What are you talking about?

For us to be seeded in pot two in CL it would help if PSG took the French title. It will be one less team above us in ranking.

Ah, I see... But they won 6-0 yesterday?

Oh right. I saw it was 0-0.
Maybe my eyes are going. Or my internet connection!
So that's a good result for us.

Cavani scored in the 2nd minute, so I am guessing that 6 looked like a 0 to you.

2 things check out the head clash between Stevenage v Southend L2 play off and last night 5-5 Shef united scored 6 goals and lost.

Benatia just put Bayern 1-0 up after 7 minutes at the münchen-swamp. Looks like Game on. Especially since Clattenberg ( nice Germanic sounding name that eh ?) is ref.

mind Neymay just equalised after 15, the offside rule needs looking at.

After barca scoring away now pretty much ruins This game to watch. Pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Pep papping it!

I put in a cheeky bet for Bayern to win by three goals. When the 1-0 went in I was sure I'll win some money today! ...not so confident anymore lol

Holby City is on.

At the moment Manuel has a better record against Barca this season than Pep. I hope he doesnt get poached by the German rags.

Every time Barca lose the ball they fall to the floor and get a foul.
