I love waking up late and finding out we won.

I think the news that Kiera is checking out the results has motivated the boys.

I know it has motivated me ... in ways we shan't discuss here.

Hell, I didn't even know we were playing today. Maybe I should be clueless more often.

And I do think Keira was a a factor. :)

Yes, a major factor.

Too bad Carrick is still sucking. Maybe he needs a private audience with Kiera to light the fire.

We can still get the second automatic spot. First spot is looking remote.

FSW had it as their featured match. I was so happy!

We dominated the Tree boys. Defoe's goal was from a bomb clearance by Reptilicus and was some fancy footwork in the box. Nice goal.

Harewood's came from an Etherie cross, which Defoe flicked, and big Marlon banged it home.

Forest was playing hard, and tackling with abandon. Very ugly fouls - pretty sucky, lucky they didn't have someone sent off.
