Who are they playing?

Good luck anyway.

Thank you.

We play Varberg from one division lower. It is two degrees Celsius, and snow (or possibly rain) is expected. And it is played on artificial turf. How fun do you think the players will have? I wonder if our players will think more on how to avoid injuries than how to score goals.

Somehow I suspect that Varberg have an easier task in motivating their players...

[Orm]

We played several young players in the midfield (average age of the 4 midfielders were 20). They performed decently on the offence with speed in their passing and some creativity. But they lacked in the defence. We won with two goals against one in a match that had a lot.

We had:
One injured player.
Another player with a bloody nose (broken?).
A missed penalty.
Some snow.
And a ball that hit the woodwork.

And they had a disallowed goal (for offside but the pundits do not agree if that was the correct call).

Well at least you are through to the next round [:)]

We have a very tricky 5th Round tie against Crystal Palace today. I have a rather horrible feeling that Adebayor will get the winning goal for Palace - he's always done well against us - both for Arsenal and Real Madrid.

But let's hope not!

[Orm]

Good luck today.

It is scary how often old players perform better than they ever have when they play their old team.

It was very tricky indeed. [:(] I am so sorry for the loss.

I hate football sooooo much [:@][:(][:@][:(]

[Orm]

But I would bet a small fortune that you love football, if you win on Saturday. [;)]

[warspite1]

...as I was saying, football is rubbish [:@]

[Orm]

Well. I don't hate the game, yet. But we just advanced to the cup quarterfinal. 6 of our starting players are injured. And we are up against the same team that knocked us out last year. Very unfairly I might add. And it is a local team that I might actually consider our archenemy. Where can I place a bet that I hate football next week? [:D]

[warspite1]

Good luck! [:)]

[Orm]

Thank you. [:)] We need it.

Nah. A English team can't lose to a German team. Never happened. Never will. [;)]

Indeed. Although you can find some comfort that your team compete for the title in the best football league of the world.
