[HeyMark]

Is it me or have we not played anything like the amout of pre-season games we normally do ? Against strong(ish) oppo I mean?

Inter Milan and Man UTD - romped one - played well for 20 mins (and scored twice, which shows how good we are when we play well)
Not enough for me - would like to see an improvement on this next year

We should have NOT played in Dublin and had two tough games at Home.

Is this the first pre-season where we haven't had a single home game?

I think Bobby got it wrong to be honest, we didn't deserve to be 2 nil up at half time but we were, he should have gone for the kill but he sat back, I was a bit pissed but if I recall correctly he didn't even use his allowed 6 subs!?

It was never going to be a friendly and it turned out to be yet another embarrassing loss for us against the Rags of all people.

Never mind though, it's yesterdays news, onwards and upwards for Swansea and seeing Aguero in action!!!!!!!

I dont know but i dont like it,the rags had a few.

On another note why was we so slow defending this We was all over the shop i dont take it that it was some sort of Brazilian masterclass.
