Too bad FIFA doesn't institute a salary cap so that there's some semblance of parity in European football. It's always the same teams winning and getting the best players.
I love how they wheel the aging Stevie G. up to the penalty spot in order to pad his goals scored stat because God knows the old man can't net the ball in open play anymore.
I didn't even bother to watch it. These Pre Season friendlies are pretty much meaningless affairs, giving out silver pots at the end to make it seem like a 'tournament'...
Also Pepe Reina is signing for Bayern Munchen, to sit on their bench for the season. It's a shame how his Liverpool career ended, at his peak he was a much better 'keeper than Mignolet. Most Liverpool supporters I know have serious reservations about him, to put it politely. I'd be interested to hear what Kev thinks.
Celtic (that's a team in Scotland, Jimbo) have been reinstated in the UCL after Legia Warsaw fielded an ineligible player against them in the last round...who came on as a sub in the 86th minute!! Dreadful error on their part. Personally, I thought Celtic fielded an entire team who shouldn't have been playing...
Celtic will remain forever in my football heart ever since they beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League group stage a couple of years ago. Until they do something like that again, screw 'em!
probably. hes chalked up a few. lets be honest the downside is that anyone coming thinks they will be dropped for andy carroll when hes fit in a few months time.
Let's see if I remember my sacred template for the weekly recaps...
