It's a blog (in English mostly) all about football...in Japan with the J-League and Cerezo Osaka, in the English Premier League with Spurs and anywhere else the football takes us.
Second loss at home in a row (in J2). A great attendance of 17212 but it must be said lots of freebie tickets for various Osaka kids teams who despite their youthfulness must have realised there are more problems than answers for Paulo Autuori at the moment. Forlan's early goal only served to infuriate as we once again looked like the team of last season that consistently struggled against lower division opposition in the Emperor's Cup. Now we are in the lower division things have evened out. We still can't defend set pieces for toffee.
Very little power from the team, lots of it from I4, absolutely no glory for anyone in Pink.
At the time we wondered how many fans made the trip, now, if you like, you can count how many did and added to the huge attendance (in J2).
Bemused Paulo Autuori, let's hope we don't see this look too many times this season. The seats that were first used when Man United visited still bear the original stadium name before yet more money flooded in our direction and we ended up...in J2.
