Seems an odd team. thought he'd play a stronger team than that.

In English? Or maybe suggest a 'foreigner' as a new signing? Connasse is available from Putain de Merde.

Good plan that.

Bugger... pen to Derby while I was looking up obscure swearwords in my French dictionary.

Who was the young lad that people said played well in the Walsall game? He came on as a sub?

Dan Johnson? Went close with one that hit the crossbar.

Graham Burke looked very good against Walsall.

Can't read too much into a friendly. But I do get the feeling a long hard season beckons. Not sure it can be too much worse than last yr. But you never know!

I'm not sure it's that weak a team going fwds. Bent, Ireland, alby, makoun and possibly bannan if n'zogbia isn't fit, are all quite likely to start v fulham I reckon.

Burke is the one. I take it he is not on the subs bench?

Sack the Board!

Don't give a shite about the result in all honesty, it's more match fitness and game time in the legs -even for some of those who might not feature heavily this year.

Plus a good pre season results wise almost guarantees a problematic nine and a bit months.  It's the law.

Didn't we get to Wembley twice and finish 6th after winning the peace cup?
