Football, football and more football

Where is everyone? Banter has been rescued  from choppy waters but has  returned to a sea that is now a veritable mill pond. We've got some sporting fixtures coming up over this Bank Holiday weekend. Football playoffs, Sunday and Monday to look forward to and also the Women's World Cup should be worth watching in June. England v Scotland should be a banker bet for England to win that one.

England Women's penultimate warm up game before the World Cup Finals.

Full time: England 2 Denmark 0
Was this pretty? Will Phil Neville be delighted? Nope.

But World Cup warm-ups shouldn't be a victorious send-off parade, they should be tests, and Denmark certainly provided that. But Nikita Parris's goal in first-half injury time seemed to knock the stuffing out of the visitors, before Jill Scott finished off the most decisive attack of the game to make the game safe.

England will take on New Zealand in Brighton next Saturday, where Neville will surely want a more cohesive performance. Can't fault their resilience, though, and that'll come in very handy in France.

Come on England!

I'm hoping we eventually move onwards and upwards. Give it two to three seasons to rebuild the whole squad with the long term intention of winning automatic promotion. Play-off finals and nerve wrecking penalty shootouts at the end of a long season aren't the way to go. Automatic promotion every time for me with the added bonus of an unrivalled goal difference to set the NYS alight.

More football talk here fellow travellers. Arsenal v Chelsea. It's taken some fans up to five days of travelling across Europe to reach the shores of the Caspian Sea to watch their respective team play in the Azerbaijan capital, Baku. Let's hope there's a penalty shoot out to decide the winners. That way the game will reach the witching hour and the world governing body of vampires will have sucked the life out of the once beautiful game.
It'll feel like a much longer journey back for the supporters of the losing side. As for the supporters of the winning side? It's the same distance. There are no real winners.

UTM!

June 20th for me - first match to look forward too, and of course to hope that is that we for once are able to go up as CHAMPIONS !!!

That would be Azerbaijan that is half way round the world and where they have an authoritarian regime with a shocking human rights record.
Who could have predicted that two clubs from Western Europe might make the final of a major European cup competition? You have to wonder how many seconds - perhaps stretching into minutes - were spent considering supporters.
What next? A World Cup in somewhere like Qatar wouldn't be out of the question.

Roman Abramovich was able to watch his team, Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1.
He has not been seen at a Chelsea first-team game since issues over his UK visa arose over a year ago. Maybe the world governing body made it possible for the billionaire Israeli/Russian businessman to watch his team hence the venue for the Final?

What an odd spectacle that was. Rotherham v FC Magdeburg with a few curious locals and perhaps a Banterer or two at the 5,000 capacity Elm-Stadion in Schöningen in July might generate a better atmosphere.

Pringle no way, total shadow of the player he was.
