Stags’ home game is off tonight. Pitch is frozz.
Snow!
Do Blackpoo have undersoil heating? Fixture pile-up!
Google suggest that they do not. However the forecast for Friday and Sat for sunny Blackpoo is above freezing.
Except the game is tomorrow
Fucked it then.
I was mixing up Brentford. Too many B clubs!
Bristol v Blackpool looking likely now.
More importantly, Brentford are going to extra time away at Wolves.
Unless someone gets injured, I tend to feel that the impact of extra time on teams is a bit overrated. We play a whole 24 hours later. I doubt it will make any difference to fitness levels.
Fatigue is definitely a factor as every manager since time immemorial has told us, and especially so in the case of a team like Brentford, who have a small squad to start with. And as tricky is fond of telling us, at Premier League level that 1% or 2% less consistency and energy makes all the difference, because it's that extra mistake which at this level as often as not gets punished.
Also mental fatigue. Extra time is tough.
Especially if you lose.
Alright Shady, pick a side!
It's Mince, unless it's about bikes, in arguments he folds faster than Superman on laundry day.
Apparently the Saudi sovereign investment fund that bought Newcastle is now in talks about buying a controlling stake in AC Milan.
Pale are 2-0 down at half time, and cruising through this one. Doesn't look much like a woy side. They need some SSC-ball....but will have to do with a rocket up the arse at half time.
