Twente Questions, Part 1

Controversial Captain Gallas celebrates his goal, our first in anger for the new season.


FC Twente ... 0



Le Arse ... 2
Captain Gallas 63rd; Ade "The Raise" Bayor 82nd

A game that Astro failed to show, which in hindsight was probably good judgement except that the screened Standard Liege vs Poo was a scoreless bore.

This game we won ugly ... sorry, that's not quite accurate - we won ATROCIOUSLY.

In fact we won despite FC Twente playing the sort of football normally associated with us in 06/07 sans Henry. Including the not finding the net part.

By most accounts, this game will make the doomsayers happy.

While we weren't sloppy, we were disjointed and struggled to find fluency in the centre of the pitch packed with Twente's five-man midfield.

We should have been two down in the first half but we weren't.

We should have been three down by the 60th minute - but we weren't.

Instead we went one up in the 63rd and then we pegged them back comfortably with a gorgeous second goal in the 84th.

In short we didn't have to play well to beat the Wally with the Brolly.

First he used the F-word ...!

"This team gave me fantastic excitement last year and I want to finish the job with them,"


Cor ... that'll wet a few trousers fronts among the Pink Brigade, I bet ... :D
