Chelsea

 

I don’t like Neil Warnock, however I do think he has a point about the game being called off at Derby today. Derby had injury issues too; tad suspicious.

 

Have to admit, that was my first thought when I read the story.

 

Although it seems suspicious I can't imagine clubs have the power to make that call. There would be games called off far more regularly if that were the case.

 

They can influence the decision makers.

 

not to mention it means I lose my prediction game cup game, which is far more important

 

I hadn’t realised it was going to be 0-0

 

Fiorentina havevrenamed their training ground the "Centro Sportivo Davide Astori". A lovely gesture.

Noticed this on the BBC -

I see they saw us (and others) off, it seems such a shame they're caught up in the mess at Blackpool.
Good luck to them.

If you take the population of China and Wales into consideration, Wales just won 2758 - 0.

 

Fair play to the several hundred Welsh fans who made a lot of noise as well. A good start for Giggsy but I think he’ll be facing sterner opposition than China in the future. And a Southampton Academy boy is now the record scorer for Wales!
