Still, should be interesting.
€5.2m too. Wouldn’t buy them an U18 player but that’s a fair ball of money for Rangers.
Are Aston Villa too big to become Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa? I think probably not.
Minamino dragged off after 60 pretty useless minutes against the mighty Vietnam.
Incredible scenes in Iran game. Our terrorist of a shit manager keeps churning out undeserved wins qnd clinging on. We celebrated wildly after a last minute winner won the game in the face of their ridiculous timewastig and their yank striker was recorded saying 'you should be fucking ashamed' just as he was about to be interviewed. Drink it in :drool:
Gael Kakuta (remember him) has the DRC 1-0 up in a crucial game away in Tanzania, with half an hour left. If they hold on they will be a win away from progress, but the group is a total scramble, with Benin also involved.
Ghana are heading for a final day shootout with South Africa in their group. Uganda's hopes are slipping away, 1-0 down to Kenya in a match they must win to keep the pressure on Mali.
God I love international weeks.
Dr. Congo, king of SCIENCE.
It's a pity the Africa fella at your work is in his 40s and therefore in the job for the next 70 years, Jimmy. What a life you'd have if you were tying in work trips based around the African international football calendar.
They definitely need it. Not sure it will stop them recreating 2012 anytime soon though. Dead by 2025Quote:

I could fix the entire international football system in a month and make FIFA/UEFA enough money that they don’t need to do 2 world cups a year. Think I might doorstep Arsene Wenger.
How?Quote:

I would be quite happy with Brendan Rodgers as United manager, although his head would probably explode.
I see the egomaniac is back playing for Sweden, are they ever going to realise they are better without him or is it a commercial decision?
This is going to be carnage. Then again, most of the cretins in the crowd are only going to support Ronaldo, so it’ll be a happy occasion in the ground at least.
Enjoying this rampant second half from Georgia. Zlatan is fucking useless.
Lindelof completely shredded by someoneashvili there.
Luxembourg leading 10 man Azerbaijan late in the game.
They aren't as much of a pushover as they used to be. 9 points from 7 games.
Now watching the under 21s where Anthony Gordon has scored twice, he has real 'manager's player' Dirk Kuyt vibes. 85 caps / 9 goals and two major trophies in his future.
The longest consecutive period of time Kakuta has ever spent playing games for a club is two seasons with Vitesse from 2012-13 to 2013-14.Quote:

I'm wrong. He only spent the first half of 2013-14 with Vitesse. The second half was with Lazio.
Frank Lampard to Norwich seems to be gathering steam. Surely not. I can't imagine a worse appointment
Does Budu Zivzavadze play international?Quote:

I play an online football management game called Football Glory. I’ve posted about it before and have played it since 2004. Challenger introduced me to it. I manage Chelsea and a few seasons ago I sold all my players and bought all 16 year olds. Because I’m a paying manager I get to name my youth players, but can’t change their nationality. I bought a Georgian striker and scoured transfermarkt and FM trying to decide who he should become. Budu Zivzivadze was born.Quote:

I bought Tobias Minge once for the same reasons.
Frank has turned down an approach from Norwich, according to Sir Henry Winter.
Lucky miss for both parties there. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
Delia Smith. Maybe she has a whole coterie of TV chefs as her advisors. Ainsley Harriott wanted them to call Steve Bruce, but they contacted Gary Rhodes via a ouija board and he said Frank's the man for me.
On my way to Wembley. Fully anticipating a cagey 0-0.
I hope that's as some kind of secret agent deployed to assassinate all members of the England band, or else I will have to question your taste in Friday nights out.
Trombone is sitting snug in the boot.
How much does a ticket to an England friendly cost you? Other than "too much."

Five at the back against Albania. Nice one Gareth.
One of them is Maguirre so it's more like 4 at the back.Quote:

Southgate standing there and saying that Kane is central to making the formation work just about sums him up. We could really do with a cruciate ahead of Qatar to force him to try something else.
The FA planning to double his money to prevent non-existent teams from poaching him also sums them up.
We should be forced to forfeit for wearing this kit at home.
I see Albania have learned to mark by watching Manchester United's H. Maguire for that set piece.
Did Matterface just say that slabheaded cunt has "answered all his critics" because he scored a header unmarked against fucking Albania? Yeah I'll feel much better next time the mong is playing Twister with Luke Shaw instead of either of them bothering to defend for United.
