A truly horrendous challenge by Gio van Bronckhorst on Scott Brown in yesterday's Feyenoord-Celtic match. He was lucky not to get a serious injury, which, given van Bronckhorst's ex-employers, would have given the conspiracy theorists something to chew on.

As I mentioned on another thread , I can't decide if Diaby's tackle on Sneijder yesterday was just very dumb and clumsy or malicious.

Oxford lost 2-1 at home to a full-strength Portsmouth last night. Disappointing really - if our top striker hadn't limped off after 8 minutes I reckon we could have got a draw, especially when our second-half team comprised youth players, reserves, triallists, and transfer-listed players, and we still matched Pompey throughout.

Was that an under 14s game? That keeper can't be any more than five foot two!

Put Jeanette Krankie in charge of transfer negotiations and that's exactly what you get.

It's live on Rai uno tonight which should be good. Not sure how much it matters in terms of the result, as long as one of them doesn't get thrashed.

Ranieri, in La Gazzetta dello Sport today, was saying that he is likely to start with the ones that have had the least minutes in the friendlies to date. Mostly, those who played in the euros. He also said he wants it to be a real game and that he doesn't want to make tonnes of substitutions. It's Juve 's last game before the CL prelimary I think.

No idea what Man Utd are doing

Is this now the thread for discussing the virus Rooney picked up in Nigeria?

Well, we've thrown away a 1-0 lead against Arsenal juniors to gift them the 'Herbert Chapman Trophy' 2-1.

I managed to watch the whole of this match on 3 different streams (2 Sopcast and 1 TVants) as the one I was watching kept going offline.

The team we had in the first half is closer to the team that will start on Saturday and it highlighted how much better the likes of Jim Goodwin and Gary Roberts are than the bloody shower who were turning out last season. Players like Worthington and Kamara, who were automatic shoe-ins for a place last season (we had no squad depth) are now going to have to work very hard to get back in the first team.

Bring on Stockport on Saturday.
