We’ve got a huge game to look forward to this evening, with two heavyweights locking horns in a potentially season-defining matchup. I’m sure we are all salivating at the prospect of Southampton vs Ipswich Town, which has just kicked off moments ago. It is an absolutely massive game between two of the Championship’s best teams, and the two financial powerhouses in the division right now. Hopefully I won’t need a second trip to Wembley this season and we can snatch second place instead.
Oh, Paris Saint-Germain
take on Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tonight as well. It’s a shame it has been overshadowed, but it should be a good game. Hopefully we can all catch the highlights after celebrating a Saints win. Up The Scum!
