Yes, but after 11 games we were W8 D1 L2
I suspect we may be a million miles off that pace this time.
The good news is we had a shitty second half to the season, so we'll have time to catch up then.
Big Vic is bound to miss a number of matches (suspensions, injuries, or just rested), so it makes sense to have both this bloke and VVD available to fill those large boots, as well of course as central defenders.
He's baaaack. And who knows, after a few more wins maybe even Corpsy will pop in for a visit, and tell us how pig sick we're going to be at the heights they're going to achieve.
Since 2010 only one winner of the 2nd semi-final (Hants 2012) has won the final. Edgbaston is fairly central, so travel distance shouldn't determine the order of the semis. In fairness it should be done by random draw.
Hants v. Lancs
Northants v. Warks
Strangely, the order of games is still to be determined. Why not from the draw itself? Hants have played their semi-finals as the 2nd match in each of the last 4 finals days (2011-2014), only in 2010 was their semi-final the first match. I would guess playing in the 1st semi-final is an advantage for the winning team, with more time to rest before the final.
My money is on Hants again playing in the second semi-final.
"Last weekend, Lawro got two correct results from 10 Premier League games, with no perfect scores."
Somewhere out there is a monkey with a typewriter also having a good laugh.
I thought he was a bit unlucky. Good header into the ground, but just a bit too close to their goalkeeper, who made an outstanding (and somewhat lucky) save with his leg.
