Neil Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Congrats to Swansea. Not exactly fond of a Welsh team being in the English Premier League but from a purely footballing perspective, they've played some nice stuff this year overall. Is Sinclair there permanently or on loan? Of course, what happens over the summer is key but right at the moment, I can't say with any real confidence that any of the 3 promoted sides will definitely go down - just look how close Blackpool, who virtually everyone thought would be long gone with a few games to go, were to staying up.

kevin doyle Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The only bright spot for Reading fans is like Man Utd fans is at least they are home about 45 mins after the final whistle. If only- 20.00 train out of Kings Cross(had to factor in possible extra time and pelanties). Got home 23.35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Watching the Nigeria-Argentina friendly in Abuja right now. It is a very weak Argentina squad, but I still expect us to be beaten anyway. We've put out a fairly strong team anyway: Enyeama, Okonkwo, Taiwo, Yobo, Ambrose, Mikel, Joel Obi, Kalu Uche, Ike Uche, Anichebe, Nsofor A few decent players in there, I hope Siasia can put together a good team.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ah we just scored Good play from Joel Obi and Ike Uche with the lucky finish after deflection off Garay. edit: 2-0 This is an awful match, tbh. Referee from Niger gave us a VERY soft penalty. This Argentina team just want to get the hell out of here, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 3-0. :lol: The lack of interest from Argentina is embarrassing, but I'm still enjoying the hell out of this. All the pain Argentina has put us through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 No surprise all the players who were left out of the Copa America squad aren't on full form tbh. Still should be doing better though even if they are a bit out of their comfort zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 F****** bizarre end to the match. Referee decides to add five minutes of stoppage time for no apparent reason, continues the match until the 9th minute for no apparent reason, and then gives Argentina a penalty for no apparent reason. :lol: Everything about this match makes no sense.

oldtype Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 South Korea playing around with a semi-full-strength Serbian side. It occasionally surprises me how good we've become since 2002. Getting to the semis that year was a genuine miracle but now I think we're objectively better than all but about 10 sides in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
