Candid Russia

Russian Football

“How can a country of 150 million people draw 1-1 with a country that has only 300 thousand..?”

That was the comment from a Russian friend of mine on Thursday morning after the Russian National team drew 1-1 with (mighty) Estonia. (He was a little pissed off)
Russian people are so patriotic when it comes to supporting the national team however many have understood that the team will never live up to the high expectations of the Russian public, So I did not mention that England were victorious in their game with Azerbaijan.
“Come on England”


The English Premiership

After the week of internationals its business as usual this weekend for the Premiership…

My Predictions are perhaps a little hopeful:

Charlton 1 Manchester City 1
Arsenal 3 Norwich 0
Birmingham 1 Tottenham 1
Crystal Palace 1 Middlesboro 2
Liverpool 1 Bolton 0
Manchester United 4 Blackburn 1
Newcastle 2 Aston Villa 0
Southampton 1 Chelsea 1
Fulham 0 Portsmouth 0
West Bromich Albion 0 Everton 2
D, will you buy me a beer for each one of these that’s right..?
