You Nelsonites speak in another language.
I'm guessing Messi (who is new to this forum by the looks of it) thinks that by me saying Nelson Suburbs beating FC Nelson 9-0 implies that I'm saying it is FC Nelson's top team.. even though it did have a handful of their top players missing. Yes some may have been missing, but same with Nelson Suburbs who were without their five or six best players. Yes I called them FC Nelson, but they were representing FC Nelson. It's just a pre-season friendly agains two teams that will only meet in Chatham Cup...
What should have I called them? FC Nelson 2nd XI? Well I don't know what the 1st div guys would have thought if I called them that..
Will these guys be missing for the first game on saturday? Western have a few missing from an already small squad, could be a long day......
Anyway here is my prediction for the league:
Nelson
Tech
Bays
Halswell
Coastal
Western
Utd
FC
