Friendly on Eurosport player app now.

Remarkable scenes! Just under 10 mins in and they went for an advert break

I don't think I've ever seen that before on any channel.

Did City agree to this game in preparation to playing us at Withdean?

Sorry SB, you've lost me I'm afraid.

Don't think we'll be having another pitch invasion if we beat them next weekend.

20 mins on and second ad break. Even by Eurosport standards, they're taking the piss here surely

The games was yesterday. It was shown with no breaks during play when live. I won't tell you the score.

Yeah, did occur to me it's probably not live, but even so. Really bizarre having ad breaks during a match. Never seen it before.

They are playing in a silent converted athletics 'stadium'.

Anyhoo after 10 minutes and 1 ad break, I'm thinking of backtracking my bravado for next week.
Although on a more positive note, West Ham are there for the taking.

I was in Canada a good few years ago and New York Cosmos were playing. 10 minutes into the game an advert break came on. We went back to the game and it was one nil. I never did see the goal.

Now I get the Iceland adverts around the ground I thought that was what the Ethiad looked like anyway


West Ham look woeful. I'll still be pleased with anything less than a 2 goal defeat next weekend to be honest.

I'm not really fussed by spoilers to be honest. Just keen to see what this raggy arsed rovers lot that we'll be meeting next weekend has to offer. For a team cobbled together on a shoestring budget, I have to say they ain't looking half bad so far.
