    UK Pre season thread

    Just scored a hat trick for Newcastle against Hartlepool. Hopefully he can have an injury free season and continue this form

    C'mon the Duffer. If there was ever an Irish player I hoped would make a comeback to his best form it's Damian. Just looking at him, you think he's the runt that made it.

    He was playing against a league one side, so his performance means nothing, right?

    Saw the goals on Sky Sports News. Duff seemed to be playing off the right, and got the assist on Guthrie's goal.

    key it would seem is that Duffer has been able to get a full pre season in, certainly it looks like and as KK pointed out his weight is down and he actually looks fit. Fingers crossed he will find some form.

    Pre season thread

    Anthony Stokes set up Roy O'Donovan and scored the final goal in Sunderland's 3-1 win over Sporting Lisbon.

    Stokes and O'Donovan came off the bench at half time, along with Graham Kavanagh. Andy Reid started the game, and was substituted at half time

    Any chance we can get this merged with the Damien Duff thread?

    Daryll Murphy started the game and was largely nowhere to be seen and outclassed.

    Stokes was excellent by all accounts a goal and two assists, the best ive seen him play in some time, sent the left full up the creek without a paddle for O Donovans goal

    Was duffer not transfer listed earlier this summer?? What he needs is a good clear run injury free for him to have any chance of getting back to his best?

    He was linked with West Ham, but I don't think he was ever transfer listed. Newcastle have a small squad at the moment, and I don't see them selling many players before the transfer window closes

    I was hoping Celtic would cash in on McGeady and buy Duffer, Finnan, Scholes and McFadden - give us a core of experienced players for The Champions League. Would have been a nice bit of business, but instead we get Samaras

    Scholes???

    Duff needs to wrap himself in cotton wool for the next 3 months........touch wood because we'll need him on form if we have any chance of qualifying.

    Yeah. I reckon he's achieved what he wants at UTD and will probably struggle to hold down a regular place this season. But its not going to happen. He'll probably end ou playing for Sunderland when he's 47 and Keane has guided them into the Vodkat Laegue.

    I'd say Scholes has 1 more season left in him and then he'll retire for good. Man Utd wouldn't let him go just yet - he will play in all the big games if fit with Anderson playing in the rest.

    No he didn't. Whoever passed the ball to guthrie was wearing white boots and it wasn't much of an assist anyway, a 2 yard pass from a free. Worldbeating stuff

    If Scholes was going to play for anyother club after United he would probably play for Oldham.Think he said earlier in his career that he would like to finish his career there since he supported them as a boy
    Its really not that complicated!!!
