Yup 11 posts on a match thread including opening post and two garbage posts. Well now 12 posts on a match thread. Opening post and three garbage posts...
Then 13 games in 6 weeks - Sun 2nd Oct v Man City away to Sun 13th Nov v Fulham away. Crazy! Wish the EL hame was binned rather than the EPL games either side. Saw game in bits and pieces, was meh - is hard to get excited over Europa. Important win though. Feels like Cas brought on 2nd half in prep for a start v City - as we will need some defensive smarts in midfield against them
