2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 9 Fixtures
When I was about 7, my Dad took me on a weekly visit to Blackheath, where we used a couple of jumpers as goalposts and played 'three goals and in'. The rules were simple: once I scored three goals, I took my turn in goal, and vice versa. When it came to sport, my Dad was enthusiastic, although I never lived up to his footballing prowess. His undoubted silky skills transformed into a mildly effective clogger. On one occasion, I ran towards him, dribbling the ball for a point-blank shot. As you often see dads do when playing with young kids, he nonchalantly stuck out a foot to stop my damp squib of a shot, while encouragingly saying, "Good shot". The ball came straight back to me, and I volleyed it as sweetly as any shot I've ever hit since. My Dad wasn't so nonchalant about the volley; it hit him square in the nether regions. As he crumpled to the ground, weakly mouthing, "Good shot" again, I followed up and smashed the ball into the empty net (well, between the two jumpers, as there was no net). My Dad declared the game over, despite my protests that I hadn't scored my three goals. We made our way home. We didn't discuss xG, playing the number 10 role, or a high press. In the afternoon, we went to the Valley. I can't remember the opposition, but the visiting keeper went down injured at some point. I made some flippant comments about the keeper being a bit like my dad, going down injured in the morning; he didn't seem to find it funny. I think our goal-shy forwards could learn from my direct style of football. Anyway, forget xG; just pick the actual scores for any three of these games, and good luck.
