Images coming in from Man Utd  

Breaking News!   Apparently, Robin Van Persie has failed a medical at Manchester United. He has a severely damaged back after carrying a full squad last season.

Yey.   Beer and snacks ready  

soft penalty IMO

 

Mike is Mike Havenaar. His dad was a Dutch football player who played here back in the day. His parents are both Dutch but he was born over here. He used to play for Consadole Sapporo and Yokohama F Marinos. He now plays for Vitesse Arnhem

I noticed quite a few of the Japanese players looked foreign I know it happens with most countries but I was a bit shocked.

 

Not a bad result for eveyone though Aussies just need to qualify now

It's only Havenaar that looks like a foreigner. There aren't any non-Japanese playing for them

actually I watched it in the house....I just came back from the convini with a bag full of beer, cracked 1 open as the game kicked off when I thought...I probably should've headed to the pub to watch it, with the amount of aussies over here as well, it would've been a good atmosphere. A few mates in the Tokyo-Yokohama area couldn't get into their normal watering hole because it was so busy. The locals were definitely up for it.....but then they do like a good fad. All the teachers at work today were making a point coming up to me to speak about the game and how they love football......yet I can't remember being inundated with banter when Japan played Uzbekistan last year! :)

"Charlie's now at Stoke. I wish him well" :lol:

 

I just got Graeme le Saux's book from the one pound shop.

I don't like him so much as a pundit, but you get nowt for a poond these days!

The intro has a story about him going to Buckingham Palace and Phil the Greek asking Sol Campbell "What part of Jamaica are you from?"

His reply was "Walthamstow".

Got to wonder if sometimes Phil doesn't just come up with them for the shits and giggles.
