Pre-season Friendlies Match Thread

Missed the first half. Just seen the replay on Albrighton's goal - cracker!

[Nelly]

Why are they taking pens now?

Sidwells reaction to his goal looked like a player on his way to me.

Listening to the analysts I've learned something.

I know absolutely fuck all in the way of Dutch.

I thought it was in Portuguese?

The iraqgoals thread was in Dutch. It's funny though, in cadence and pronuciation you could hear the similarity to English even though they were probably saying something completely different to what it sounded like they were talking about.

At least albrightons performance should end any chance of mon going for mcgeady- we don't need another winger, let's give albrighton a run in the league,it will get downing on his toes too.

I hope you're right.  After his performances both this pre-season and last year, Albrighton has earned a crack at it and a quite lot of us want to see him get a run in the team.  McGeady would be about as popular as a fart in a lift.

Very pleased for him, he should make the most of it as the "Albrighton is lazy/too cocky/shit" backlash will start in late October.

Awesome pen by Carew!

Either way I didn't understand a word.

I was on Iraq Goals if that's any help?

I though Albrighton was magnificent... I know it's not the real thing and just a kickabout but the only way we'll find out if he is ready is in the first team for a Premiership match.

Our youth players in particular Albrighton, Delfoueso and Lichaj all look really talented on the ball too.
