And lots more of that on Saturday but they have relocated the location of the game for the THIRD time, makes travel/hotel arrangements difficult for travelling fans.

Good job you weren't thinking of popping over to Mansfield for Saturday..............
"Mansfield Town's pre-season friendly with Birmingham City has been cancelled amid fears of possible disorder.
The match was due to take place at the One Call Stadium, in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, on Saturday.
Police said detectives had "intelligence" which could affect public safety and a "significant police presence" would have been needed." BBC Sport

AND A VOICE FROM THE CROWD SHOUTS "WHO´S THAT STOOD NEXT TO STEVE?"
Final score Via Rio 1 Nottingham Forest 0
But a good run out for the boys and a great weekend in Salamanca (Spain) Braga and Fao (Portugal)
For those who can´t make out who it is, it is the best left back England has ever produced. Stuart (psycho) Pearce who sends his regards to Mazarron FC. |

The Bees of Barnet 1-5 The Bees of Brentford! A good start against a lower league team.
But the Espanyol game isn't happening - instead, we've got Osasuna who were relegated from La Liga.
EDIT 29/7:
Having seen off the French Ligue 1 team Nice 3-2 on Saturday, hopes were high of an unbeaten pre-season with Osasuna tonight and Crystal Palace on Saturday being real tests. And a big test they (Osasuna) were! A thumping 4-0 victory for them to take back to Pamplona as preparation for their challenge of regaining their Liga place.

Brentford 3-2 Crystal Palace
Moses Odubajo scored a brilliant winning goal as Brentford ended their pre-season friendly programme with a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace.
The Bees had gone 2-0 up early in the second half only to be pegged back before Odubajo’s wonderful winner.
Jonathan Douglas spread the play and Odubajo controlled it on his chest on the right, he lifted it over Joel Ward and headed towards the box before cutting inside Scott Dann and slotting home.
It was a superb goal to win a very good game of football.
An entertaining first half had ended all square but Douglas put The Bees in front early in the second.
Andre Gray made it two but Palace hit back before Odubajo won it.
Palace’s response to going two down was swift and emphatic.
They got one back within a minute when Bolasie played a ball in to the box, neither Tarkowski nor Crag could clear and Murray nipped in to round Button and lift the ball in.
And they were level moments later – Bolasie was again involved, escaping on the Palace right, his cut back was met by Ledley, his low shot was kept out by Button but Marouane Chamakh turned it home from close range.

Manchester United and Real Madrid will exchange blows tonight in-front of a sell-out stadium with the capacity reaching 109,000 people for the game.
The two heavyweights will face off at the Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor - KO at 10:05 pm Spanish.
There will be several internet live streams.
20 mins and a great team goal for Man U. 1-0 (Ashley Young)
25 mins ... Bale pulled down in the box - Penalty to Real. Bale scores 1-1.
36 mins ... Young to Rooney - faintest of touches and Casillas is found wanting - again! 2-1
79 mins and Casillas at fault again - doesn't come for the ball, Pepe and Ramos leave it and Hernandez makes it 3-1.
Real were awful - very unfit, but missing their new boys. They'll go home with 3 losses out of three games!
Turns out Rooney didn't get a touch, so 2 goals for Young.
As a ps, apparently the US know how to make money out of soccer = $100 to park your car at the ground!

Looks like refereeing won't be any better this season! Martin Atkinson ruled this foul on Arsenal's Akpom to be OUTSIDE the box!
