''Soccer'' 2017-2018

I just think its dumb. How can they charge high prices for a friendly.

Is it at Wembley? It could be Wembley/the FA setting the prices and not Spurs.

[John Ossie]

Still dumb IMO. Friendlies are a perfect chance to make it easier for fans to go to matches. Ah well, LOL.

[John Ossie]

Celtic play tonight. Should go through, they're already 2-0 up and it's at home. Still, stranger things have happened I suppose LOL.

[DebkoX]

Friendlies should be super cheap

[John Ossie]

They should be I agree.

Anyone watching the Women's game on Channel 4?

[DebkoX]

I will once I finish 'ma tea!

Tammy Abraham marked his Swans debut by grabbing the winner against Richmond Kickers in the club’s second pre-season tour friendly in America.

It took the new loan signing just 20 minutes to open his account for the Swans after stepping off the bench as a second-half substitute.

Olie McBurnie had opened the scoring for the Swans in the first-half from the penalty spot after the surging Kyle Bartley had been brought down, only for Franck Tayou to equalise after the break.

Really pleased with this win, mainly because McBurnie got a goal and Abraham scored on his debut

[John Ossie]

Funnily enough I haven't had a chance to watch the Women's match yet. I recorded it so I can still watch it when I get a chance. I know England got the first goal but that's about it.

As for Abraham scoring on his debut last night, good start, hopefully he can keep it up for you. Always nice when your team wins.

I know TNS got knocked out, empathetically. Other than that I know Liverpool are meant to be making a 70m bid for Keita now. LOL, he better be fucking fantastic if we get him LOL.

[FluffySheep]

Yeah TNS are out, but it was to be expected. It would be amazing one day if we saw a Welsh League team in the Champions League group stages. Or Swansea obviously lol. We're quite a few years away from seeing any of that though.

70m is a hefty chunk of cash for Keita. I don't know a lot about him. I don't even know what type of midfielder he is. For 70m though, you could've signed a third of Neymar instead lol.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

There's gonna be a Manchester derby (or perhaps "friendly") here in the States tonight, Houston to be more precise. WHOO! I'll tune in!

[John Ossie]

I'd almost forgotten about the Manchester Derby. Didn't know the actual date though, I doubt there'll be anything remotely ''friendly'' about it though LOL (particularly given Guardiola and Mourinho's history). Enjoy the game WestPhillyPunisher.

From what I've heard Keita sounds like a more attacking version of Kante, if reports are to be believed as I don't really follow the Bundesliga so I don't know much about him myself. As I said earlier, he'd better be good if we do get him LOL.

I do believe the match is on ESPN, so I will!

Would I be right in assuming you have your favourite beverage handy?

If by "favorite beverage" you mean chilled lemonade (I don't drink alcohol), you would be correct, sir! I will come tonight!

Chilled lemonade counts I don't drink alcohol either so my beverage of choice tends to be lemonade, usually coke.
