Clint Hill winner unfortunately

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Crazy how this evening, MON drew Leicester's ball, and completed the rematch of the exact final that he himself won 23 years ago after drawing ball number 23 for us. Nice little moments like that make me smile.

Bit of a family rivalry going to develop here. My mother grew up within a stones throw of Prenton Park and my eldest brother was born in that house, he and my other brother will definitely be supporting the team from the Wirral.

I've memories of going to Tranmare in the playoffs. Sat right next to the home fans and chatted with this kid if a similar age the whole match. Final whistle blow and he just lept over the barrier and ran on to the pitch.

I think I agree but what do you mean here?

I take it that we were the pixels playing in blue?
