http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixs3F6c447A Congratulations to Arsenal Tula, with their red and yellow paint splattered kit and comedy defending. Hard to believe that this is professional match in supposedly one of the top leagues in Europe (now officially better than Scotland according to UEFA). The general level rarely rose above this for the whole game, and is about par for the course in matches not involving Zenit, Spartak, CSKA, Lokomotiv or Rubin. Complete and upper pap.
That's some pretty dreadful goalkeeping as well. He just seems to give up on it as though he caught an electric shock from the striker.
God knows what that defense was doing, thought ours was bad at times but that is a new standard of bad!
There was much worse in our Premier League on Setdi. Have you seen the Southampton Sunderland game? How's Frimpong getting on btw?
I've not seen Southampton v Sunderland but I've heard that Sunderland basically just gave up after the 4th goal went in. Not heard much about Frimpong but Ufa are hovering just above the drop zone right now. Winter is starting to kick in which I somehow doubt he'll fancy. To be honest I rarely watch Russian football, it's just that yesterday the game was too abysmal to ignore. It was so bad that it was almost good. Also, I'm not sure that there are any worse kits in the Premier League than Tula's.
The kit is truly atrocious but the defending isn't really all that bad, not compared to some of the defending witnessed at Oakwell last season.
