Thanks Petri, i only wanted to know if they are any good lol

Not many, what else there is to say. I hope Ahlbom and Säyriö have a few battles with opponents and like the program says, Timi and Toni are very young. So with Pawel spanking them a bit I hope they improve as the meeting goes on and move on in one piece.
