Todays fitba

Off to Selhurst Park tonight to see Palace - Dundee for Speroni's testimonial.  I always remember wanting us to sign him when he played for them. Slowly starting to drop a few more balls than he used to.

 

Unfortunately sat with the away mob too! 

[manc_don]

Probably the best friendly I've been to that. Both teams and fans were going for it. Dundee took half of dens (1700) down with them. What was amusing though was their team from the 90/00's was better than their first XI. Made me wonder how we never pumped them. Charlie adam.played for them too. Still wore orange boots though, Hun bastard.

Was Caballero involved? Always thought he was a cracking player

[manc_don]

Yep, as did Sara, nemzadze and ketsbaia and carranza. Was just glad they never had Novo, I wouldn't have been able to control my hate. Sara and caballero nearly scored a peach. Genuinely better than the real Dundee first XI

[tlg1903]

nemzadze, he was a player too.  I wonder if dundee fans look back on those days, remember the dark times that followed twice and still come to the conclusion 'meh, it was worth it!'.  What was the score anyway?

Could have been a lot more to palace in the first half, zaha and bolasie were on fire, then again Dundee should have had two pens. Thought the ref would give one to let speroni score to equalise. Guess they've come out the other side Tlg so possibly! Nemzadze and Caballero have fair piled on the pounds but the trickery was still there.

 

Almost looked like Adam was going to cry after he scored, could see he wanted it all game.

[tom_widdows]

1-0 Dnipro after 8 mins

 

 

[Jute]

2-2 at half time. Been a good game so far.

[Jute]

3-2 Sevilla now.

[Jute]

Sevilla win. First team to retain trophy since change to league format and first to win trophy 4 times. Also now guaranteed Champions league football next season. Really enjoyable game.

[manc_don]

Sevilla are a nice team, glad those racist fucks didn't win it 

 

I was going to ask if it was this year that rule came in, good for them.

Airdrieonians set for a take over:

[tom_widdows]

USA come back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 away to the dutch

 

2 goals in the last 2minutes

[manc_don]

The american infiltration of football has begun then

[tlg1903]

There can be no denying that it has taken off in the states, 3rd most watched sport now apparently.

Really? Wow, I am surprised by that! That behind NFL and NBA then?

Baseball i'd imagine.

 

Shite sport.

[tom_widdows]

Baseball and NFL is correct

 

Was only a matter of time before it took over Ice Hockey and Basketball just because of the stadium capacities.

 

Seattle Sounders average attendance last season was just under 44000.

Lowest average attendances were 7000 odd for CD Chivas followed by just under 15000 for San Jose Earthquake.

Ah right, I presumed that was related to TV audiences. That's fair enough, didn't chivas fold, or is this the new chivas US?

[tlg1903]

I think tv does come into it, viewing figures for mls epl A's la liga are up too

[tom_widdows]

Bale puts the welsh 1-0 up

 

Suicidal defensive header back to the goalkeeper by the belgians.

[tom_widdows]

After last nights results the automatic place for finishing 3rd currently sits with the Dutch although 6 teams are still to play this weekend

 

Ranking (with games against bottom team removed)

 

1) Netherlands - P5  GF10  GA5  Pts7

2) Russia        - P4  GF7    GA2  Pts7

3) Scotland      - P4  GF5    GA4  Pts7

4) Hungary      -P4  GF4    GA3  Pts7

5) Albania        -P4  GF4    GA5  Pts7

6) Norway        -P5  GFA    GA8  Pts7

7) Switzerland - P4  GF7    GA3  Pts6

8 ) Ukraine        - P4  GF3    GA4  Pts6

9) Israel          - P4  GF6    GA8  Pts6

 

Russia have to play Austria who are running away with their group so a Win in Dublin could put Scotland into the automatic spot (that is unless Georgia or Gibraltar also perform some miracle and we jump to top of the group)

[manc_don]

1-1 , not exactly the best game but hey ho, at least it wasn't a loss

[tlg1903]

Works have taken the draw before the game, Ireland had to win we didn't

 

End of
