I know it's not televised because of the blackout thing but are they filming the full game so we can watch it later on?

Should imagine there will be a highlights package on Youtube an hour or two after the game

Couldn’t give a [Poor language removed] about the game

No injuries is all I want

Can’t wait for Wolves

On espn3 again for all the stateside blues and the tech savvy.

0-22 to Valencia.

Taking my 5 year old today for his first match. ease him into a life of misery with a nice low key match

I reckon we'll see a difference today. They've had a full weeks training with appropriate rest.

If not I'll be instructing the boy to lash haribo at them from the 8th row of the paddock.

We're getting bummed in ways San Fernando porn directors haven't thought of.

 

[No8Bally]

Getting the backscuttled Blues feelin`....

Today is a proper test of what we presently have, it is probably a test we will fail given our powder puff central defence and ponderous midfield. Hopefully it will copper fasten the management's case for at least one centre half .

 

[carlos NSNO]

a confident 2-1 loss but many positives me thinks/hopes......

Agreed, I live in hope rather than expectation.

Heavy loss and gives Silva an excuse to press the board to sign Lascelles.

Sadly, unless we spent a full weeks training injecting Jagielka with some experimental anti-ageing drugs, and injecting Keane with a combination of Steroids, Usain Bolts DNA & anti-useless chemicals, there's no amount of appropriate rest that can fix this mess...

It'd be nice to win a pre-season practice match against decent opposition convincingly - I don't remember when that last happened.

I sometimes refer to ESPN's football show but no one ever responds. Maybe it isn't shown in Britain, which would be surprising given the largely British pundit panel and Premier League discussion. Anyway, they've been putting up the odds about top four finishes in England and put up seven clubs. Arsenal are 6th at about 3/1 and they have Everton at 20/1.

They also put up the odds about the Spanish league and nominate the usual three and then Valencia 4th at long odds.

I think they must be taking the piss, but maybe they think we are the best of the outsiders in our respective leagues. Probably not in our case. I don't know about Valencia.
