Two Friendlies 7 Goals.

Tonight we played two friendlies one in Scotland and one in Belfast. But have a look at the teams we took. Goals scored in brackets.

Dunfermline: Van der Sar, Kuszczak; Brown, Bardsley, Pique, Silvestre, Eckersley; Hargreaves, Fletcher, Scholes, S Evans, Eikrem, Eagles(1); Giggs(1), Rooney(2).

Glentoran: Heaton; Simpson, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra(1), Lea; Carrick, O'Shea, Gibson, Martin, Nani(1), Anderson; Dong, Campbell(1).

Now we still missing Saha, Solskjaer, Neville, Park and Foster. Split those five into the above two teams and we are looking good to have two teams in the EPL haha, ok maybe not to win it every year but at least to get into Europe. Hats off to SAF for committing to two friendlies in one night and also been able to entertain both capacity crowds with good football, big names and lots of goals. Ronaldo didn't play tonight because he has a slight ankle injury and it was a precautionary measure to leave it at home so we can have him fit and hungry for Sundays game. Good to see Scholes back aswell. Well now that we know who is fit and who is not its up to the administrators to make sure that we have Tevez for Sundays game, even without him I think we will be victorious.

Since Ive started this blog I have been doing in depth reading about the club I love and have learnt some interesting things. Like to day for example I learned that SAF played for tonight's friendly opponents Dunfermline and he is still their fifth top goal scorer (you go Alex) scoring 91(Wikipedia says 66) including 6 in Europe for the team before he was transferred to Rangers for £60,000 a then record fee between two Scottish clubs(thanks TEAMtalk).

Dunfermline chairman is grateful to SAF for taking a strong team with him tonight and that includes Paul Scholes which means he could play part of Sundays opener, at least he will be on the bench.
United play two friendly tonight but Ronaldo, Tevez or Heinze will not play in either tonight.
