    Hoang Anh Gia Lai is my favourite Vietnamese team, as they used to have improbable runs in the (whatever their CL is called) back in the early 2000s which were featured on the Sky magazine programme 'Football Asia'.

    Improbably, I'm going to Peterborough v Bradford tomorrow. Better be good.

    Coincidentally, I am currently sat in my apartment in the Hoang Anh Gai Lai 3 building. They also have a decent academy, considering they are in the middle of fucking nowhere.

    After a solid transfer window, a couple of decent results and actually getting to the Hawthorns I'm somewhat excited about watching Brighton vs WBA tomorrow. Probz spend a frustrated, hungover 2 hours failing to find a reliable stream as we lose 1-0.

    Watching Celtic and PSG's away trips to Hamilton and Metz side-by-side. One set of champions elect are cruising at 3-0 up, and the other passed the ball around a lot, scored one, before conceding an equaliser following some exemplary ball watching.

    Next week at Parkhead should be good, Celtic might not win 3-0 but Scott Brown will be kicking lumps out of Neymar again.

    Emmanuel Rivière scoring the equaliser against PSG, following a spell with us where he couldn't do anything correctly, is amazing.

    Derby smashing Hull 4-0 at HT as well.

    If Mbappe's leg falls off do PSG still have to pay for him?

    Sky have got Real Madrid playing at the same time as well. Since when did they have early kick-offs, let alone ones featuring somebody important?

    Presumably Asia mixed with Champions League commitment shifting.

    I'd love to get the respective viewing figures on the two and send them to that Tebas fellow.

    Switched to Leipzig game at half time, Obscure Midfielder Naby Keita has just spanked one in from 40 yards.

    Livescore has alerted me to the existence of a side in Germany named 'Wormatia Worms', a new clear favourite for the best team name in football.

    Clearly the TV schedulers from Sky were off their fucking heads when they picked West Ham versus Huddersfield as their MNF game.

    Benfica got pretty lucky tonight against one of the newly promoted clubs. Have a check of the goals for the Portimonense- little step over and curler into the bottom corner and then then winner was a fluke outside of the boot top corner job from an angle.

    We also got introduced to video refereeing which resulted in an equaliser being disallowed after Portimonense celebrated, headed to the centre circle and then finally it got called back. About 3 minutes later it was ruled out for offside. Bit shit for them and not sure the tech really works when it's that much of a gap between issue and solution.

    We're into the early season dross period where they churn out as many wank games as they can so they can show wall to wall Top 4 teams from Christmas onwards.

    I had a sneaky suspicion that Lovren might be left out today, but I did not anticipate Klavan would be his replacement.

    I don't understand that Man City formation. They've got 3 full backs and their midfield seems to consist solely of 2 attacking midfielders.

    I assumed it's Danilo as the third centre half with Fernandinho sitting in front of De Bruyne/Silva.

    Otamendi is a red card waiting to happen against anyone with a bit of pace. He's just Mangala but somehow even clumsier and with crap hair.

    Why are Sky cutting away from the game so that Thierry Henry can drone over one of Red Nev's computer screens?

    Whoever came up with that idea needs a boot in the head.

    That's a lovely pass. Should hopefully be a few goals here. Both defences are a joke.

    I can't wait until the scousers work out that Salah is a one dimensional pace merchant with zero composure.

    He is also nullified anytime he has to use his right foot.

    Class from De Bruyne for the goal, he sees a pass like that probably as well as anyone.

    That's what I thought.

    It doesn't matter whether he meant to do it, he's still booted him across the chops.
