The summer football really seems to make a difference for the LOI teams.

Wonder what level you would think that Scandinavian top flight football would be compared to LOI? I often wonder would the top LOI sides hold their own in the bottom half of the Championship / top half of League 1? (if they were full time professional)

[drdooom]

AIK would have expected to beat Linfield. They complained about not being able to play properly on the dry, uncut Linfield pitch.

Aspas in 'not factually correct'

 

Iago Aspas says his former Liverpool team-mate Luis Suárez has been “treated like a murderer” by Fifa after the Uruguayan bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

 

Aspas, who has been loaned to Sevilla for the forthcoming season, told the Spanish radio station Cadena Cope that he can understand why Suárez was banned from playing because it is not his first offence. However, he believes the Barcelona forward’s ban from all football related activity is excessive.

 

“They are treating Luis like a murderer and not like a footballer,” he said. “There are murderers who pay less [for what they have done]. Not to let him be presented [by Barcelona], to train or to enter the stadium is too much.”

[PhilM]

He's got a point. I mean most convicted murderers are allowed to carry on going to work during their four month incarceration period aren't they?

Suarez has bitten more people than Aspas has scored goals for Liverpool which is a fact, a meaningless fact I grant you

Friendlies are meaningless.

They will be significantly better than they were under Moyes, but f*** them, were better.
