Real Sociedad pt. 2 baby!

This time at OT.
I'm excited about this one. I know that Bruno probably deserves a rest, but he requested to play so I decided to do that, and also give him the armband.
It might be a questionable decision, not starting one of the youngsters, but they might be game-changers coming from the bench (Casey and I used to call substitutes 'game-changers', so it gave a better feeling coming on as a sub).

5 years since the iconic Rashy debut. He needed a rest, but I might bring him on for the memories.
We still want to win the game, even though at 'half-time' we're already 4-0 up.

Kick-off: taking the knee is still an important message. If anything, more needs to be done.

HT: Man Utd 0 - 0 Sociedad. Dan giving away a penalty; he was just doing his job. The Real player missed the penalty, thank GOD. Lindelof and Bailly working well as a CB pairing. Bruno hitting the post, too. Good performance overall.

I'm wondering what Scott is thinking so far.

In the changing room, I told Jamo to not worry about giving away the penalty. It's still nil-nil, so it doesn't affect us.

At half-time, I made three changes; Williams for Wan-Bissaka, Rashford for Bruno and Tuanzebe for Fred. They need to rest for Sunday, so I gave them a rest.

During the game, I subbed Amad on for Dan James. Jamo looked like he had a little niggle, so I don't want to risk him getting a full injury. Amad gets to have half an hour to see what he is all about.
I was over the moon to find Tuanzebe scoring, but unfortunately, the goal was disallowed because of Lindelof kneeing a player in the head. The ref got the decision right, but it's disappointing.
I've given Sholeshire some game time. He is young and he also gets fifteen minutes game-time. Not bad for a 17-year-old.

FT: Man Utd 0 - 0 Sociedad. It was a bit of a boring game (besides the penalty miss), but we are still through to the next round.

The first female manager through to the round of 16 in the Europa League! Come on!

I got home, as nothing much happened (unlike last time) on the bus.

I opened the door to find Alfie following Scott, as Scott was coming to hug me.

"Hey, love. You're making history happen," Scott said as he brought me into the said hug.

"Thank you, Tommy." Alfie was headbutting my legs as I spoke this.

"Someone else missed you too,"

"I missed him!" I let go of Scott and knelt down to pay my attention to the cat.

"Did you miss him more than me?"

"Maybe..."

I think Scott was pissed off by that point, as he picked me up and moved me away from the creature.

"What?"

"If you say you miss me more than the cat I'll put you down."

"What if it's a lie?"

Scott put me back down and all of a sudden it was the first kiss pt.2. What is it with tonight and pt. 2's? He knew that I missed him from the way my hand was moving back and forth through his hair. The Scotsman added a little bit of tongue before backing away.

"Is it a lie now?" He whispered in my ear, before walking backwards.

I bit my lip as he showed me a light wink.

"Stop ittt," I laughed.

Scott's laughter could be heard from where I was. You could hear his smile.

I ran upstairs so I could try and settle down for eleven o'clock. It was around half ten, so once I was done I went into our room and read y/f/book for half an hour. During one of the chapters Scott must have came into the room, though I never noticed, as he took the book away and put his head on my shoulder. His body was on top of mine, so I couldn't move, and I knew there was no point in arguing, so I let Scott stay there. Soon after he started to kiss my neck, which calmed down my surprised state. Seeing him happy and gentle made me happy and gentle. Scott stopped after a little while, and I noticed he'd fell asleep.

"Bless you," I whispered, trying to get the blanket from the other side of the bed without waking him up. I think the long days and his injury is making him knackered. I'm getting a little tired, but I suppose the later nights and the added stress/expectations aren't helping me either.

I'm at the point where I'm going to crumble and just break down, but I don't know when that will be yet. It's either soon or sooner than expected.

I got the blanket, so I placed it over the man in a resting state. I cuddled him and fell asleep wondering when the day when the pressure is too much will come.
