IL BUNO IL BRUTTO IL CATTIVO

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Before I get on the plane I thought I would look back at the Season; not all doom and gloom style though. I’m reflecting on the good bits (yes I know they were few and far between) as well as the dirge.

 

GOALS

1^st PRIZE “Arrrrrshaaaaviiiiiiiiiiin!”- V Barcelona. A sweeping example of hitting them on the break

Honourable mentions
