    Mes juk visada su “Žalgiriu”, kad ir kas būtų…😊 O vakar mūsų “Žalgiriukas” tikrai pradžiugino – pagaliau be vargo įveikė Jonavą ir “magą” V. Šeškų. 😉 Šaunuoliai! Yra vilties, kad šis sezonas LKL mums bus lengvesnis. Sėkmės, vyrai, Ispanijoje!

    Beje, Virginijus Šeškus – iš tiesų charizmatiškas, puikus treneris. Ir Jonavos komanda simpatiška su visais savo ištikimaisiais sirgaliais… Sėkmės ir jiems, tik ne su “Žalgiriu”. 😉
