march 13th
It’s an early start for me this morning. This is my Saturday on, and by god I’m already not enjoying it one bit. I’m just a bit tired, so I’m not going to write a lot this morning.
David Dein says the draw against Chelsea is anti-climatic. I suppose I know what he means, playing an English team in Europe, especially one you’ve already played 3 times this season isn’t quite the same. I suppose we should just be thankful Boro aren’t in the Champions League.
It also sets up an incredible sequence of games – Chelsea twice, Man United twice, Liverpool, Newcastle, and the bastard b-based bogey teams, Bolton, and today’s game against Blackburn. Team news for today sees Dennis Bergkamp miss out after suffering a rib injury when Celta Vigo’s goalkeeper tried to impale our Dutch matser on his foot. Maybe Reyes to start, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kanu. Gilberto may come back into midfield with Edu being rested – and we have to say ‘Congratulations’ to our happy Brazilian as his celebrates the birth of his first son.
Right, I’m away to work. More later.
