Match Report:

This was a good match.  I watched it on TV.

Riise scored an incredible goal from a free kick, it was really good. He belted the ball through the wall and it lashed into the net.  Alonso’s goal was a good penalty after Voronin was pulled down in front of goal, and Agger scored another amazing goal – Riise crossed the ball to Kuyt who laid it off to Agger who smashed it home from the edge of the box.

We looked good in this game.  I like the look of Voronin, and I thought Kuyt looked sharp.

Match Report:

This was the first match of the season.  It wasn’t that great to watch.

I went with my Dad.  It was good to win, but hardly any first team players were in the squad so it was difficult to tell anything from the performance. 

Idrizaj had a good game, and so did Pennant.  I thought Hammill looked good, too.  Martin had a good game and so did Mickey Roque.
