What an unfortunate turn of phrase Not all of us think like you....

When you guys complain about Heskey being in the England squad, look at this lot...oh dear oh dear... It's depressing isn't it At least Hareide weighs up for having Petter Rudi in the squad by adding Super-Ray Kvisvik! Now if only Robbie Winters was Norwegian... Of all players out in the world, you had to ask for that Scot to be Norwegian, huh?

Just came over this picture, and found it too good to not post! Mortens old playground

Morten Gamst Pedersen is in the Norwegian squad to face Moldova in WCQ on March 30th. Full squad: Espen Johnsen, Rosenborg Thomas Myhre, Sunderland Knut Borch, Tromsø Trond Andersen, Aalborg Christer Basma, Rosenborg André Bergdølmo, Borussia Dortmund Daniel Braaten, Rosenborg John Carew, Besiktas Erik Hagen, Zenit St. Petersburg Brede Hangeland, Viking Magne Hoset, FC København Steffen Iversen, Vålerenga Azar Karadas, Benfica Raymond Kvisvik, Brann Tommy Svindal Larsen, Nürnberg Claus Lundekvam, Southampton Morten Gamst Pedersen, Blackburn John Arne Riise, Liverpool Vidar Riseth, Rosenborg Petter Rudi, Molde Sigurd Rushfeldt, Austria Wien Jan Gunnar Solli, Rosenborg Ståle Stensaas, Rosenborg

Van Persie in for Ljungberg before start. The Swede is injured.

Okey. That's a big mistake to make.

He did , I also thought he was supposed to be the orginal Norwegian David Beckham No way!

Didn't M. Andresen play for Blackburn on a loan last year???

Don't know if anyone has seen this, but there's an interview with Pedersen in the Times Online. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,20...91551_1,00.html

I think MGP is a wandering smiley-face these days! Who wouldn't be? I saw him on TV today, he was in Denmark and watching the match between his former club Tromsø IL and FC København (Copenhagen), who by the way ended 2 - 2, and they interviewed him after the match and he couldn't stop smiling... Well, I guess he's living his child hood dream...

It's weird to read this kind of thread now, with all the bashing MGP & Norwegians rooting for him got earlier on But it's great to see Blackburn getting some very important points, and Pedersen settling down in the starting elleven.

I reckon Pedersen is going to start - no doubt. He got to play when he wasn't even playing for Blackburn, so I guess he has no worries about that... Pedersen interviewing Erik Hagen (Zenit St. Petersburg)...in "Russian"! I laughed so hard from the MGP: "blablabla...svetlana?" E. Hagen: "ahhh...svetlana??"

hehe

Friedal Nelsen - Mokoena - Todd Johansson Emerton - Savage - Ferguson - Pedersen Gallagher - Bothroyd What's the odds on MGP scoring in this match too?! I bet he's gonna put another one!
