International Weekend [R]

[Danners9]

Loads of Spurs players on tour this weekend.

Terry Dixon came on as an U21 sub for Ireland tonight, 7 mins to go, when they were already losing 1-0 to Belgium. Blondel was playing for them. By all accounts Ireland were pretty rubbish and Dixon only touched the ball a couple of times. He's meant to be the best player in the side, yet he was on the bench for 83 mins. Oh well...

Ziegler also played for Switzerland U21 as they beat Moldova U21 3-1. He was involved in their third goal.

Tomorrow, Rio "you've been Merked" Ferdinand is out and it's between Wes Orange and Michael Dawson for the starting spot. Hope Daws gets it because it is "only" Andorra and would be great for him. Hopefully Lennon and Defoe will get a run out too, Robinson's a definite and maybe Jenas will play too.. or maybe he'll stand on the pitch and do nothing again. Or on the bench and do nothing.

Other games:
Poland vs Finland, Tainio.
Germany vs Ireland, Keane.
South Korea vs Iran, Lee?

Hm, struggling to find any other international fixtures so maybe that's it?

I still think the Dixon thing is highly dubious. I doubt he is ready for U-21 internationals, let alone full international games, and only being used as a token sub does speak volumes imo. The kid hasn't even had half a season in our reserves.

It'll be to declare his nationality. Born in england with an english father, but they want him for ireland.

Rio "you've been Merked" Ferdinand

LOL, i think i was the only person who really liked that show he done.

I think it will be Wes Brown playing, i would really like it to be Dawson but i can't see it happening. Shame Ledley is not available otherwise he certainly would have played.

[C'e' Solo l'Inter]

maybe defoe should be playing for us. of course andorra isnt that hard of a team but still. nice showing with the brace so far

[Danners9]

2 for Defoe, an assist for Lennon, barely a touch for Robinson and Wes Orange started instead of Dawson.

i see that berbatov came off in the second half against romania. it wasn't an injury, was it?

I almost put £150 on an 8 way accumulator this morning. I was getting very annoyed today as all the teams won... except Italy.

Would have won £439. But as Italy are into stoppage time and still 1-1, I would have lost £150!!

Phew.. unless they score in added time, then i'll be in a rage.

Defoe scored 2 and Lennon set up 1 :)

Hopefully he can start putting crosses like that in for Berbatov and Mido.
