Cong An Hanoi won the Vietnam Super Cup 5-0 over Cong An Ho Chi Minh City yesterday.

Not sure if Mauk played but I can't see him in the celebration photo. Looks like their league season starts next weekend.

Almost forgot the star of the show !

Mo scored twice in Norwich's 4-1 home romp over Burnley

The Canaries now find themselves fending off deadline day interest.

Socceroo Mohamed Toure is generating significant interest from a quartet of leading clubs, with the likes of Galatasaray, Sporting CP, Porto and Hull City casting a serious eye over the clinical young striker.

Hopefully the club saying he's not leaving at any price does have a price, and AU can again get a nice slice of that pie.

His goals to games stats are comparable to almost any player ever in the Championship. Surely a move isn't far off. Ideally if he does go its following Nestory to Portugal or a bigger Euro club where he'll be near goal more often than going to a lower level EPL club.

Super work MartinAUFC!


Mo's goals.

Weekend wrap:

Nestor came on in the 66th minute of a 2-0 home win against Nacional (Sporting stay 2nd two points behind Porto)
Mo Toure scored AGAIN in the 44th minute of a 3-1 away win at Sheff Utd (Norwich are 12th)
Yaya was subbed off in the 83rd minute of a 0-1 home defeat to Koper (Celje are 4th)
Luka was an unused sub in a 1-1 away draw with Austin (San Jose are 6th)
Archie came on in the 82nd minute of a 0-0 home draw with Houston Dynamo (Charlotte are 5th)

Nestor and Sporting take on Galatasaray in their opening UCL game on Thursday morning. Hopefully he gets a start.

Couple games on the bench for Nestory. Not a great start. Fingers crossed he can play some minutes in the lead up to January.

No minutes in the UCL game which is a bit disappointing, but I guess they would have been in game management mode for the last half hour at 3-1.

Yeah we need Sporting to be chasing those games. The perks of playing in Europe is that there is a shed load of games clubs like Sporting take part in. He might be on the bench in the UCL but then get a start against a 2nd Div club in the domestic cup and bag a few goals there. That could be the momentum he needs to win a starting spot.

Weekend wrap:

Nestor came on in the 74th minute of a 1-1 away draw against Famalicão and received a yellow card (Sporting drop to 3rd)
Mo Toure scored in the 1st minute of a 3-4 away loss at Middlesboro (Norwich remain 12th)
Yaya came on in the 63rd minute of a 1-2 away defeat to Bravo (Celje have dropped to 7th and seem to be experiencing a bit of a rough patch)
Luka came on in the 81st minute a 1-0 home win over Houston Dynamo (San Jose are up to 4th)
Archie didn’t make the match day squad for a 3-3 away draw with Cincinnati (Charlotte are 4th)

Also in the Boro v Norwich 4-3 game Riley McGree played about 60+ minutes. Slowly building up to his best. No goals or assists, but the score was 3-1 with Boro in control when he was subbed off. Cracker of a game!
