Their football reporting has been suspect for a while - a few years ago Hibs were playing Molde in the Europa Conference thingy and the BBC kept referring to them as Malmo. They also said that a Celtic player who got a yellow card would miss the second leg of a European game when it was already the second leg (and they were giving the aggregate score in brackets.)
Hirakawa was injured in a clash with Saito and was treated on the pitch for 3/4 minutes. He then was subbed. There were 7 other substitutions before the 90th minute. Thought 6 minutes would have been fair but can totally see where 8 came from.
Last season we could have said: Next year you will likely have a strong Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton making up 3 of the top 6. Plus the 8-10 teams who don't go up and will be decent again. And big spending Birmingham and Wrexham are coming up from League One.
Back in October, during my prediction piece before the Ipswich game, and again, the following week before the Southampton game, I suggested that I would like to see Vale in the "10" role. A few people thought I was mad, but he was superb today.
In the pre-match warm up, Morgan was pinging shots just like that into the net. Hardly any backlift and just flying into the corner. I was sure he was going to hit that one.
