Me too, to think that just their reserve keeper cost £71million pound... an amount that I think could buy all our squad, ground, the metrodome, and most of the town centre... I think we did really well!
I was proud of the team & coaches last night & am sill as proud this morning. The match was, for me, an indication of how far we've progressed this season under Valerien.

Yeah I would. I'm gutted we lost the match. That is in itself an indication how far we've come and what an excellent job Val is doing. I'm glad the article came out about Val and his methods before the match too. It made me watch last nights game from a completely different perspective. I was watching the press and how the midfield and defence pushed forward in tandem. That said we need to work on our finishing because we could have been playing anyone last night and still didn't score. Val is right, "if you don't score you don't win."
