Weekend Friendly Results

A mixed bag of results on the Satruday as there was a selection of good, bad, and ugly.

Lanna GoIF 1 Reading 10

Let’s start with the good as Premiership new boys Reading had a resounding 10-1 thumping victory over Swedish amateurs Lanna GoIF. Of course it will not prepare them for the English Premier League – but it’s surely going to do a power of good for the confidence.

Also impressing were Fulham who beat Monchengladbach 1-0 and Blackburn who beat Aachen 3-2.

The bad came in the form of Newcastle’s very dodgy effort in drawing 3-3 at home to Villarreal. The Spanish side (who were knocked out of the Intertoto Cup) where in complete control for the opening 70 minutes and only two Nicky Butt goals gave Newcastle parity – after Villarreal had stepped off the gas.

And the ugly was Manchester Utd’s 1-0 win over Ajax, not for the result but because Michael Carrick lasted just 14 minutes before being helped off after sustaining what seemed to be an injury to his left ankle.

That was the last thing that the Red Devils needed after Scholes and Rooney were sent off in the first match.

The English Premier League kicks off in 14 days on August 19th .. and I can hardly wait. 🙂
