Dunno, he was walking about afterwards so I guess it's not as bad as Owen's for example, but they won't know the full extent 'til they see a specialist back in London.
What would be interesting though if he's out for a few weeks is who will take his place in the starting line-up. SWP 'should' get the nod on the right but that Kalou can play there too & SWP was poor last night although he was only on for 45mins & hasn't played for a while :/

SWP will play there for sure, he had a disapointing last season and wasnt picked for the world cup. With Cole injured he will fight for the time hes out to get the spot and to mabye get it more often.

I like SWP, hes got the skills and speed to do some damage but tbh hes a little selfish (but who wouldnt be when your trying to battle for your place in the team).

I think this season could be good for him.

SWP is similar to Ronaldo (the slim one) if you ask me. He's quick witted & paced with plenty of talent but when it really matters (ie final ball) he's lacking, kinda like a dog chasing a balloon (stolen).
I'd love to see him make it, but not sure if he will

I agree tbh, but SWP aint a cheat like Ronaldo

He'll get there one day I assure you.

Ronaldo scored twice tonight against Oxford, won 4-1. Solksjaer and Fletcher on the scoresheet too. Other news..... Rooney and Scholes available for first two premiership games as the Dutch FA have delayed contacting the English FA. Bans still could be introduced but not until the third game i dont think.

Good ol' Boro had another decent pre-season game...

Lost 4-0 to Hereenveen. :rolleyes:

And he ain't anywhere near as good as Ronaldo. I can't wait for the opposition fans having a go at him next season. He seems to enjoy it!

doesn't that put them out for the Arsenal match tho,if they get 3 game bans ?

Rooney red was ridiculous reffing,should be reduced,which usually means it wont be.

Chelsea drew 1-1 with the green & white half of Glassgee tonight. SWP got the equaliser :eek:

but that was about all he did

Ballack is starting to find his feet & there's no problem with him & Lamps playing together.
Kalou & Mikel again showed their promise & Shevski again didn't.

BaZ87 · 16 Aug 2006 at 21:47

Liverpool beat Lincoln City 2-1. Gonzalez and that Bosnia/Austrian (can't spell his name so won't try) guy got the other

How pleased I am safe in the knowledge that our youth team managed to cane Celtic not so long ago

Burke crocked by Ricksen tackle

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/5280480.stm

Scenario: Ricksen feels up a steward on Rangers pre-season flight, gets sent home. Goes back to Rangers to be told that he's no longer needed, gets sent to Siberia for a year loan with Zenit St Petersburg. Returns to Ibrox to play friendly and one of his patented horror-tackles crocks one of Rangers best young players for a month. What an ********, we could have done with Burke for the Scotland squad.
