sorry,but they are a class above in almost department. I think we made them look good but still a class act. I was really not even that suprised by that performance,because we have been watching those kids of performances for years!. The last two seasons we had in the prem was a disaster and just seems like history repeating itself. Random players bunched together and lets face it,most of them are not really god enough to compete at this level. At least in the championship we could compete. Anyway,I'm off for lunch!
