Blues halt rampant Leeds

Another Friday night at the Hall, and another entertaining game. Despite there being no goals the game itself was as exciting as they come. Great saves, missed penalties, last-ditch challenges, and friendly crowd banter. Captain Adam Barrett was immense at the back with countless Bobby Moore’esq tackles keeping us in the game. The main talking point happened in the 66th minute when a hopeful ball played into the Leeds area forced a reckless challenge, Penalty!

Lee ‘Barney’ Barnard had scored 2 penalties at the same time last week (the first having to be retaken) so the crowd was full of confidence when he stepped up. Unfortunately for us the keeper guessed the right way and managed to get an outstretched hand to the ball. On the face of it, a great point but can’t help but feel disappointed to let them off the hook. Next up Brighton away!

Just like to congratulate the England team who did a fantastic job in qualifying. Just shows what some technical know-how and a strict approach can achieve. I like to believe the rumours that John Terry asked permission for the team to have some nuts on a flight to an away game. Capello simply shook his head….brilliant!
