The Grant Gurnhill football and mayhem blog.

Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-carumba peeps! It’s Dobbie ‘ere wi’ me awesome blog! And this week’s double jeopardy once again as I cast me eye o’er last week’s deciding second leg shenanigans in Europless and the laughable final first legs (eh?) in Chumpion’s League.
First, the Chumpion’s League, where we saw the legends of Barceloooooooooooooonaaaaaaaaaa visit the Etmehat and give Mantreasurechester City a reet lesson in footie. Some of the ball control was sublime, and Luis Sewerage returned to Engerland to wreak ‘avoc amongst City’s defence - not for the first time in his career. City put on a brave battle, but when it comes to the big games, you know that the stars of Barcacacacaaaa will show the stars of City how to turn up and play like they mean it. City did manage to nick one back, but the 2-1 away win puts Barca in the driving seat. I don’t fancy Pellicani’s lot in the rematch.
If the Mancs thought they’d had a lesson taught ‘em, Arsenil were late for school and then got expelled. Most thought the Gooners got the easiest draw of the round, and Arsey obviously told his lacklustre lot so. With defending more woeful than a Toffee backline, the minnows of Monaco tore the reds a new ‘un. If City thought they had an uphill battle on their hands in the second leg, Arsenil have got a 3-1 deficit to turn over, away on foreign soil. Quit now Arsey.
Thursday saw the poor man’s Chumpion’s League and the dropouts therefrom facing up as 4 Brit teams partook, with the faltering Neverton looking least likeliest to progress. Oh dear… Ditherfool have spent the last 10 year’s banging on about how they love penalties in Istanbul. Brenda fielded 3 strikers from the get-go, hoping they’d go get the goals. Whoops…they didn’t, and pennoe’s? Love ‘em? Not anymore they don’t. NASA have just returned Lovren’s ball to the clubhouse. 1 down, 3 to go. Celtic always looked hard pressed to progress, but definitely capable. Unfortunately they managed to fail, coming so close, but yet so far away…The single goal was enough to send them out after a sterling display in the home leg. Better luck next time lads. Plucky but not quite enough on the day. Next came Twittering Shitspurs, who surely couldn’t fail, not with ‘Arry Kanyewest in the team. What? Pottygeno did what? Left him where? WTF??? Spurs fell foul of arrogance here, and paid the price for leaving the trooper himself out. Well, it’s not like he’s singlehandedly transformed their season and dragged them to this stage of the competition all by himself is it? The Italians must have wet themselves when they saw the team sheet. And then went out and showed Shitspurs why you never leave your saviour nailed to the cross when you really need him on the pitch performing miracles for you. Losing 2-0 in a leg they could have won? Bring back Sherwood…
That brings us to the Toffees, the only Brit team playing a home game. With a cricket score from the away leg under their belt, even this lot couldn’t screw this up could they? Looking at the 3 already out, anything was possible. Nobody knew what Martini-shaken-not-stirred would do…send out the reserves, the youth team, defend with a 10-0-0 formation or what? In the end he went for the safer option, and decided to mix the squad up a little, but take nothing for granted. Fielding a strong side left the Blues in a good position to fight back when the Young Boys went ahead. And fight back they did. And then some. They ripped ‘em a new ‘un! How the fans must wish their team could play like this in the Prem. 3-1 on the night and 7-2 on aggregate gave a feel-good feeling to Goodish-on Park for the first time since 1888 when they formed from the remnants of T-Rex. The only question is, could they take this to the league and avoid relegation? Time will tell. Enjoy it while you can Blues - bigger fish are coming for you…
And that’s it peeps!
I’ll be back Thursday to recap the Prem games from the last 7 days - it’s that time of the season when the games come thick and fast. Be interesting to see some of the shenanigans going on around the teams in the Prem this week - for starters some Blunderland player’s back playing with the under-16s…
See you Thursday peeps! Don’t go to any nightclubs I wouldn’t go to!
