Coffee & Tv: Stokes Goal From Win At Cardiff

This is a slightly unusal pre-season for us. 3 wins on the trot with 3 clean sheets. With us having 4 more ‘international friendlies’ to go, most when the season has begun then this will surely change?

Are we better than Cardiff? Well, we are certainly fitter at this stage of the season. That would be the least I would have expected anyway.

Our trialist goalie looked comfortable in his lanky frame while doing nothing apart from catch a few cross balls and deal with a few pass backs. It’s an art looking comfortable while looking like a beanstork. Something Double F didn’t have.

The commentary from Premier Sports was ruined by Lou Macari. Lou sounded like he was choking on Craig Burley’s jisim while high on glue and domestos. He called Shaun Maloney a ‘young player’ and in general proved why he’s been chased from every job since 1994.

Here’s the goal.
