What a week it has been!

A thrilling offensive night against rival Leeds in the 5th round of the FA Cup, but there we plenty of head scratching moments in this 3-2 victory. It was deadlock until the 90th minute and appeared destined for extra time before Conor Gallagher provided the go ahead winner in the 1st minute of stoppage time. Mauricio Pochettino shuffled up the starting XI with 5 changes including Robert Sanchez &Trevor Chalobah returning after a long absence. It’s a reminder that this is still a very young team playing in the most competitive league in Europe.

Up next? The lads are back to Premier League action facing local rivals Brentford FC in a West London derby match. It’s going to be a challenge as the Blues are winless in the last four matches vs The Bees and in a goalless drought spanning 3 matches against. Last goal scored was back in 2021 when Antonio Rudiger booted a wonderful 35 year screamer to take a 1-nil lead, and then it went downhill from there with Brentford immediately leveling the score up plus 3 more to seal a 1-4 defeat at the Bridge. The boys needs to step it up and break this losing streak against their West London rival.

Come down to the Londoner Addison this Saturday morning and kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
