Hi guys! Looking forward to the premiership games today? The fixtures are:
Bolton v Charlton

Middlesborough v Manchester United

Everton v Derby

Newcastle v Blackburn

Southampton v Sunderland

Tottenham v Fulham

West Ham v Arsenal


As an added bonus, the first player that scores today will have the ten thousandth premiership goal!

Hope Boro flog Man U, and West Ham flog Arsenal. :D

Boro flog Man U! It ain't gonna happen. Steve McLaren has done a good job at Boro though.

Italian football

Ronaldo's back. He scored his first goal in nearly two years against Brescia in Inters 3-1 win. He also played alongside Christian Vieri, so the boys are back. All football fans should be pleased and I personally cant wait to see him play in the world Cup.

Also, Roy Hodgson has been sacked after an Italian tabloid printed a badly translated interview from the Mirror where Hodgson slated his Udinese manager. He has been replaced by Giampiero Ventura, a former Sampadoria coach.

<font size=6>10,000 GOALS!</font>

Les ferdinand scored for Spurs! An Englishman scored, YES!

C'mon, is no one interested in football?

You don't have anything on swedish football? :D

Man U have 6 games won in a row now. Can anyone beat them when they are on a role? My prediction for table this year

1. Man U
2. leeds
3. Liverpool
4. <font size=3>Arsenal</font>

I think the game between bajen and aik was very interesting, örgryte-hif was a real thriller and I'm really looking forward to gif-djurgården.
My predictions for västerås-uppsala is very parted, I'm thinking x.

LOL! Now this is interesting :D
I still think västerås is stronger than uppsala. And what's your opinion on GIF-MIF?

Barb, I haven't checked my usual sources today yet, but did this round involve any dutch goals? Van Nistelrooij perhaps? [img]smile.gif[/img]
