Had a good start hasn't he?

[sharkey]

[kinkylola]

micah! he is looking good, if we get this micah for a whole season, it will be great. still can't cross though

[craigmcfc]

Well it's been a brighter start than we've seen in most of the other pre-season games

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Very impressed with Richards so far.

[craigmcfc]

Haha nice one Nige

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Haha nice one Nige

He even laughed at that himself.

[Dameerto]

I loved Nige's enthusiasm as far as that shot went.

[kinkylola]

commentator saying de jong is as bad as van bommel ... if only because van bommel is older and gets there later

[Dameerto]

The Dapper Don is looking particularly dapper tonight.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

GOAL!!!!!

[sharkey]

[Dameerto]

Woop woop

[craigmcfc]

The sky blue on that Premier League Nike ball does seem particularly apt

What a run and cross from Jerome
