What's the best app for football scores?
I like LiveScore, they had quite a good app for Euros, too. Not too much statistics though, but reliable, fast & offers scores from a large variety of competitions round the world. Has tennis, cricket, basketball & hockey in the same app as well.

Oh okay
I'm using Forza at the moment. It's decent but wanted to see if there are any better ones out there....

Finish work at 12:30, so I should be able to see most of that City/Dortmund game.

I wonder if they've got any friendlies scheduled to be played behind closed doors, because I'm actually slightly concerned a lot of our players will have only had a few matches before the start of the season.
I really hope so because we've only got the Gala friendly, then it's Rooney's testimonial and then the community shield

Our schedule is quite tight from now on though. Matches on Saturday, Wednesday, Sunday - at that point one week before Bournemouth away. Guess if we’ve got two different teams to play 90mins each, we could arrange something for either Mon Aug 1st or Fri Aug 5th.

I'm pretty dubious that Wayne's testimonial will be played at anything like the intensity we need for it to be considered useful for pre-season match sharpness, but you never know.

Not ideal, is I think an understatement, to describe our pre-season prep.

A red is a red, in this case a rotten red apple as Tata would say

Incidentally, I see that Hart is not starting - hmm

Caballero played the Bayern game, too. Although Hart probably was still away on holiday, but I think Pep will drop Hart as a starting keeper and start the season with either Caballero or a new keeper.

I remember us getting thrashed by Villareal in Ferdinand's testimonial. The other team will definitely be up for it. It is upto us to show up and get in a good game. This will also be Mourinho's first game at OT as our manager. I don't think he would be too happy if we end up losing.
