Bradford survive

Saturday 24th March.

Because of the postponement of the game against Preston today due to international call-ups I was able to put my feet up and keep an eye on the other results of importance. This was the first competitive game for the new England manager Sven Goran Erikson, and with vital World Cup 2002 qualification points at stake a maximum return was essential. Thankfully, with goals from Michael Owen and David Beckham England managed to overcome an earlier own goal from Gary Neville. 2-1 was not the most convincing final score against Finland, but with another game in the week against Albania 3 points was all that mattered.

Meanwhile with my Huddersfield Town ‘hat’ on there were two games of interest in the first division, actually there were just 2 games in the first division today. Despite the departure of Andy Booth, Sheffield Wednesday have almost made themselves safe now with an away win at Birmingham, but there was better news from Turf Moor with Burnley beating QPR 2-1 to keep the west London club 2 points behind us having played 2 more games.
