Quite disappointed with that tbh. Thought maybe we'd be taking the cups a bit more seriously and using this game to try and gain some momentum and sharpness going into Saturday.
Is he even that available? Played last night for them.
Last year of his contract and they're having problems agreeing a new deal. Plus he had a bit of bother with the club President when he said something about Reina's wife at a club dinner or something.
Can't see that myself. Forest are probably going to be the ones trying to shut up shop and keep it tight, the onus is going to be on us to break them down.
Who the hell would stay up til 4 in the morning to watch it on telly
I mean it's not going to be on TV in China so they're basically just coming over here to do the draw for reasons unknown and putting it out on twitter. They could just stay in the UK and do it at 4am there and it'd be the same thing.
Do they think a load of Chinese are gonna tune in at 11:15 on a Thursday morning to watch John Salako draw balls out of a hat for a competition they've never heard of?
@Stottie - It's not even convenient, everyone will be at work
I dunno, I think he's probably got his perfect gig with Sky. No pressure on him and he can spout shite to his hearts content with dickheads fawning over him like he's some kind of expert.
Their problem is going to be their squad. The first XI is decent enough for the champo but the games come thick and fast and when they start picking up injuries and suspensions they're gonna be screwed as there's no quality beyond the first team.
