Javier Saviola (Barcelona)

Both teams have a lot to prove in my opinion. Brazil were dreadful in the world cup and the argies flattered to deceive.

Hope they go toe-to-toe

Javier Saviola (Barcelona)

Technically Saviola is still a Barcelona player isn't he?

Should be a good one.....nice Sunday afternoon viewing.

I have tevez - should be spurned on by the transfer and want to lay a marker down - first scorer @ 7.5/1 and (hopefully) a covering bet of 4 or more goals @ 3.75.

[Diego]

Leandro Somoza very suprising to see him up there, i am looking forward to seeing him, after being linked to us even if it was a dodgy link, interested to see want kind of player he is, and if he would have made a good replacement for hamann

[Rocket]

is it on tv?

[Shaggy]

is it on tv?

Yup, BBC1 3.35pm. Nice huh?

Looking forward to this after the mediocore matches yesterday, including the Scotland game. We beat a pub side 6-0 and now we're back on the right track. Charlie Nicolas is a fickle c*nt. Bollocks.

I have to say I was laughing at that fickle pillock Nicholas yesterday. As you said, you beat an appalling side, every bit as bad as Andorra if not worse, yet Champagne Charlie thinks everything is rosy again.

He's a grade A c*nt.

I mean look at our centre backs: Weir and Pressley. Is there a worse centre back pairing in Europe, excluding the pub sides like the Andorra the Faores etc, etc?

We are still ****e, and we will be for some time. We'll get hammered by Italy and France and possibly by Ukraine as well.

Anyway I'm glad Ronaldinho is back in the Brazil squad. Also that young left back Marcelo is supposed to be mustard.

[Shaggy]

Hopefully Ronaldinho will be deployed correctly by this new manager, instead of being far too deep to influence the game as he was in Germany. Really hoping Aguero gets a run out too. Looking forward to this big time.

Yeah I want to see Aguero play. The video clips on YouTube tell you **** all.

Hopefully we don't see that stupid formation that we saw Brazil use in the world cup. The magic quartet bollocks. If they want to get the best out of Kaka and Ronnie they'll play them up front in a 4-3-3, flanking a centre forward, and like Barcelona, not asking them to track back.

Kaka's not a forward by any stretch of the imagination.

On the Faroes. Perhaps Charlie was comparing the two draws scotland had against the Faroes in recent memory. Still a cock though - granted!
