[VCC]

and why in the HELL is Shearer on the bench for this match?????? is Robson NUTS??????

I think it's the "we should beat this team easily, I can rest my star" theory. But as usual with Robson, in actuality it's a case of "we SHOULD beat this team easily, but I'm a senile old man and my team just isn't good enough."

 

[USArsenal]

big mistake..... although, they were playing in Sweden, and they have an away goal, so it may have worked out for them in the end....

Those are really unfortunate genes, young lady.

I saw the Vålerenga - Newcastle match on telly and gotta say that Robsons lot were fortunate to get away with a draw, they were rubbish in the second half. AND- Vålerenga last played an official match in october since the Norwegian Tippeliga runs from April to early October, they narrowly avoided relegation last year and I hate them and everything assosciated with the club. Looking forward to see Newcastle walk all over them at St. James' in a week's time.

Norway is all about the Vikings of Stavanger!

torgrim - Unfortunate? Not at all. You just go cheer for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and I'll cheer for Freddie Ljungberg. Talk about unfortunate...
