What a goal....holy shit

Enigma_87

Just to add - Raul today scored 2 for Schalke against Bayern.



So after Sneijder and Robben, if Raul becomes top goalscorer this season, those feckers should shoot themselves.

bit premature I know

gbgary

hilario f'd up for sure but terry never should have played it to him with a defender bearing down on him imo.

Chelsea lost again? have they won a pre season game yet?

BAMSOLA

No they haven't.

Maajid

I can remember one that they did win, when Essien scored the only goal. It was against a Championship team.

Kelvin

its astonishing to see them struggle to win any matches in pre-season.

Maajid

CD Everton are Chilean.

BAMSOLA

Bloody hell forgot about that. So just the one then.

Ole's_toe_poke

Seems City are losing again. Don't think they've won in preseason yet.

Jaap

Lost 3-1, game finished.

decorativeed

Is correct.

I actually managed to briefly forget about the United match tonight and accepted an offer to go to this match. Was okay. Rodwell, Coleman and newboy Magaye Gueye were impressive, (scouse) Everton won 2-0 goals from Beckford and Bilyaletdinov. Phil Neville overtook us in his BMW on the M62 and all.
