Wednesday 20 February

So as another eventful Wednesday evening passes the top talking point of the evening was Phil will shortly be breaking into the property market of Southsea, the costal town won’t know what will hit them.

The selected game to watch was not a popular choice at the start of the evening but as the game progressed the watching crowd became more involved as Lyon were leading through a goal from Karim Benzema but only to have their hopes of seeing Utd beaten taken away from them when Carlos Tevez late goal ensured Utd head back to Old Trafford on level terms.

The second English club playing on Wednesday evening were Arsenal and it has to be said that it is lucky this game was not the preferred match choice because the reports from the match suggest a lack of composure in front of goal was to blame for their failure to beat AC Milan. Has the affect on losing to Utd in the FA Cup had a knock on affect?

Tuesday night saw a more eventful evening of football when as it seemed Liverpool’s love affair with the competition was about to hit the rocks, Rafael Benítez and his Liverpool team again found salvation in the Champions League. Two goals in the final five minutes, from Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard, enabled them to inflict Inter Milan’s first defeat since September and take a giant step towards the quarter-finals.

Chelsea the other English team playing on Tuesday scrapped their way to a scratchy goalless draw away to Olympiacos.

Regarding the food served there now seems to be a tendency when the food is being served later and later each week, but again even though the food was served later than normal it has to be said what was on offer was top quality, nothing like a good meat pie! Regards to Chef Phil.

Next week Brin has accepted the offer of his being the venue for the evening, what will come of that? One thing will be guaranteed “Phil will still believe Villa is going places”! But we all know the truth.
