So is your head..

Yeah haha, he was decent, poor guy.

Those two are pretty poor, Postiga was average in his prime!

Haha well played.

I don't think Postiga ever had a prime Haha! never been a fan. Almeida I liked, he was decent for Werder Bremen.
Both very average though.

If only we could have one of Spain's strikers

I'm off anyways guys, laters!

Now we rely on Postiga or Almeida Haha! neither are great.. the future we hope is with Nelson Oliveira but he's very raw to say the least and yeah Ricardo is a legend for that.. but so many times he has cost us a game, how ever I always smile when I see him because of what he did against England.

Almeida's always been overrated IMO. A poor man's Berbatov is how I see him.
Postiga's ok, never has been world class, but he's ok I suppose. He did score a great goal at the Euros, just a shame that he got injured (again) lol!
Nelson Olivera looks like a real talent though. And at 21, he's got years left to get better.

Seriously for a minute - Wales have so many good players compared to Scotland, poor form and poor manager I know but a lot of Premier League players.

I think Wales win.

Bale and Ramsey to score - 2 allen assists

I admire your optimism.
I don't share it however.

I almost want Wales to lose so that we can get rid of Coleman ASAP.

Haha.

I just can't see how Scotland will score or stop Bale.

He might get injured in the warmup.
Never know, I have a feeling that Redknapp paid a pretty hefty backhander in advance so that Bale doesn't play international games. I have a feeling that money hasnt' run out yet...
