To be honest, for most of the first half especially, anyone who didn't know better could easily have mistaken it for a friendly/exhibition match!!! The atmosphere was muted, both teams looked like they were doing nothing more than simply going through the motions - with everything happening at little more than walking pace. I can't remember seeing a meaningful, competitive match with two sides showing so little intensity. On numerous occasions the goalkeeper or a defender from either side received a pass back and was able to stand still, with the ball at their feet, for a good 5-10 seconds totally unchallenged. There seemed to be no pressing at all from either side.

Are you serious?? We were awful in the 1st half. Manning was incredibly lucky that TGH scored an absolute screamer out of nowhere and then , to top it off, we won (and scored) a rare penalty! Had we not somehow found ourselves in front, despite having created absolutely nothing, when the half time whistle was blown, they'd have been booed off without a doubt. The atmosphere could easily have turned nasty - LM was a lucky boy today without question!
