Yes they do have a Premier League team and they are pretty good too!

[Stephen Thorpe]

Came up last year, first year in PL.

I think they won quite well last year, kinda like my team a couple of years ago, then we dropped back down straight away.

They played utter crap. Couldnt defend and couldnt keep posession. Kuwait deserved the win

[Stephen Thorpe]

Sorry didn't know they even played, unbelievable!!

Was it a friendly!?

Asian cup qualifier. But we already had qualified. But this leaves the door open for Kuwait or Bahrain to finish ahead of Australia in our group and thus we get a harder draw for the Asian Cup next year.

Yep, now I remember, perhaps that is what the skips need a bit of competition, certainly going to be better than playing Samoa or the like.

In all fairness we should have hammered Kuwait with the quality of players we had.

[Stephen Thorpe]

Yes I heard they were unlucky!!

Long time no talk,

All has gone quiet with the World Game (well on this forum anyway!)

My team sacked their manager 3 games ago, 2 wins and one loss since then.

Beat the Top of the ladder and one of the top 5 teams, then lost in the Carling Cup to a Team from the league below.

Oh well the league is the only thing that is important.

[stormster]

I dont talk cause you never rpely. Start doing so and ill talk forever. Up the boro! Viduka broken toe, 6 weeks out...

Lost all my Internet for at least a month, got back on early this month. Just emptied my Inbox and should have more time to 'chat' now. Watched the CC Championship Game this morn Burnley vs Preston NE. Great game, good to watch.

Foxtel Nov 18th (?) My team, local Derby vs Ipswich - Live.

Can't wait hopefully we have turned the corner.
