Matt Posted 16 July 2011 Posted 16 July 2011 Friendlies mean nothing as in scorelines imo, they are just about preparing for the new season and player fitness, although it is nice to have a successful winning pre-season. Just been to Nuneaton Town v Coventry, Finished 2-2, Nuneaton went 1-0 up for the first half, Coventry came back and showed how truely embarrassing and small time their fans are when following in suit of Newcastle by having a small pitch invasion, Cov then scored late on and another pitch invasion happened, Nuneaton then scored last minute. Joe Murphy looked woeful, and a Cov striker (Not sure who) missed a couple of absolute sitters. Not sure on any other friendly results, just had a look but no results are in on the Sky Sports website yet. Anyone else been to any of the local, non league, or any other friendlies?

Matt Posted 17 July 2011 Author Posted 17 July 2011 Ryan McGivern scores in Manchester City's 0-2 win over Club America.
millzi Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 Went to Melbourne Victory v Celtic last Wednesday, and my days it was woeful. I'm gonna miss English football so much, this level is just terrible. Celtic by no means outplayed Victory and only won 1-0 by a Scott Brown 20 yarder via a massive deflection. When did Celtic become Little Asia as well? Quite a few Koreans/Japs/Chinese in there squad it seems
HEGGSY Posted 19 July 2011 Posted 19 July 2011 Naughton on the bench for spurs against orlando pirates, just watching the recording of it so don't know if he featured will post on his progress...unless someone else watched it then please tell. Good to see him getting a look in at spurs. Please come back Kyle.
HEGGSY Posted 19 July 2011 Posted 19 July 2011 Might go to Boston vs Wigan on Saturday. Going Hinckley v Cov Scum tomorrow they struggled at Nuneaton so I can see them doing the same against hinckley
Fox92 Posted 20 July 2011 Posted 20 July 2011 Worksop are playing back in town now, and last week they entertained Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United. I have been to Worksop's pre season games before, such as against Doncaster, but I didn't go this year to these games. However, a friend did and he said that Milan Mandaric was walking aound the ground shaking peoples hands I only wanted to go to meet Michael Morrison again so he could sign some Leicester stuff, but Charlton brought him a few days before. My mate plays for Wednesday though, it must of been wierd for him playing against Worksop.
Guest Bilo Posted 20 July 2011 Posted 20 July 2011 Grimsby v Doncaster next Friday night looks somewhat tempting if I'm off work.
Corky Posted 20 July 2011 Posted 20 July 2011 Leicester v Bursaspor has put me off friendlies for life.
AjcW Posted 20 July 2011 Posted 20 July 2011 Well my levels of boredom have reach Cardiff V Celtic... apparently no one in cardiff fancied turning up though! 1-0 Celtic at half time.
AjcW Posted 21 July 2011 Posted 21 July 2011 Not Bad! Rooney hits a hat-trick July 21, 2011 Wayne Rooney bagged a 21-minute hat-trick as Manchester United continued a goal-filled tour of the United States by hammering Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field. Introduced as a second-half substitute, Rooney quickly cut loose, drilling home his first just after the re-start and completing his treble 18 minutes from time. It was part of a seven-goal romp which takes the Red Devils' total in two games so far to 11, with Michael Owen, Mame Biram Diouf, Gabriel Obertan and Park Ji-sung netting the rest. The only downside was a knock picked up by Rio Ferdinand near the end that left the defender limping at the final whistle. United fly on to Chicago tomorrow before further engagements in New Jersey and Washington and with just over three weeks to go before they begin their Premier League title defence, Sir Alex Ferguson's men have already served notice they will not easily be dislodged from their status as England's number one. United had been promised a different type of atmosphere in Seattle and they were not disappointed as in excess of 67,000 supporters showed their appreciation for their visitors, whilst leaving no doubts over who they wanted to win. With David de Gea not pushed into the fray just yet, Anders Lindegaard took his opportunity to impress, denying Alvaro Fernandez, then producing a fine double save in repelling Fredy Montero and James Riley. Indeed, it was somewhat against the run of play that United went in front through a typical Owen poacher's effort. Getting himself into space as Patrice Evra ran onto Ashley Young's lay-off, Owen met the Frenchman's low cross perfectly and quickly stabbed it past Kasey Keller. Owen has looked impressive in pre-season so far and, starting alongside Federico Macheda, had another effort cleared off the line by Osvaldo Alonso. That was another piece of opportunism but there were no excuses for the chance he spurned three minutes before the break, when he was brilliantly sent through by Ryan Giggs. Owen steadied himself but Keller read his mind, the former Tottenham keeper making a decent stop. Sir Alex Ferguson made four changes at the interval and within three minutes, Diouf had got his name on the scoresheet. Supposedly attracting interest from Blackpool, the Senegal-born player ran onto Nani's through ball before turning sharply and drilling home from an acute angle. Fellow substitute Wayne Rooney added another shortly afterwards, with Nani again the provider and the England striker added another midway through the second half as he rolled a precise finish into the corner. By now, United were really into their stride and Rooney set up Park for their fifth before completing his hat-trick from Gabriel Obertan's cut-back. The Frenchman has not made that much of an impression in his time at Old Trafford to date but he rounded off the romp two minutes from time. Seattle 0-7 Man Utd.
Fox92 Posted 21 July 2011 Posted 21 July 2011 Seattle 0-7 Man Utd. A result such as 7-0 is still good in a friendly. QPR won 13-0 the other day, did anyone see Matt Connolly's goal? It was a beauty.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 Saw Boston beat Wigan (well a Wigan youth team) 2-1 today, in a really enjoyable game.
