    Weekend Football Thread

    Since no-one else bothered. It's Cardiff v Wolves atm.

    I do not understand these Friday games. I love a night game but they kick off so soon after work, have no atmosphere because most away fans can't take the day off and they always choose the worst matches.

    It feels like they're used to knock out the 'each team must be on TV a minimum of x times a season' rules.

    Games:

    What is the deal with these 'DERBY DAY!', 'Red versus Blue!' etc contrivances Sky seem to be all over these days? I don't understand the logic of stacking a bunch of good (or at least box office) games together.

    Friday Night Football is quite frequently going to be hamstrung by not being able to have European qualified teams in it, so I guess it's just Scudamore & Co taking a shit on the Championship

    The Bayern waxworks won't want him setting back their thousand year club, so it will be PSG (at a push), Russia, or a national team - either his own or some knobhead one with a load of money behind it. That is unless he turns United around, which could still happen of course.

    I think national team management would be right up his alley. No need for a 'philosophy', just a load of one-off games to be cynical about and loads of petty feuds to get involved in.

    I'd love him to take over England once the Duke of Wellington is promoted to foreign secretary.

    Can't wait for the inevitable Jose knee slide when Fellaini gets the winner.

    I understand getting Martial on but why on earth is he taking Rashford off? He has been all over the place in this game. The only one making runs into channels, pressing and creating.

    Nice to hear Jose Mourinho moaning about his lack of dynamism in midfield whilst leaving his fifty million quid summer signing out for retards. It's that sort of thing that almost swings some sympathy back towards the board not spending all the money he wanted.

    Really? Fair enough then. He still looked to be running hard when Martial was warming up. I leave the room and next thing I come back to him sitting on the bench without the comms elaborating.

    It was still shit either way. Mourinho complains then gives no time to Perrera or Fred. He needs to go.

    Pogba was an embarrassment today.

    No Schurrle in the squad today, we lose a lot in attack with him out. Praying for some sort of defensive performance but it hasn't happened so far this year.

    I think this game should be tailor made for us to be honest, which means we will lose 4-1 and Ranieri will do a swan dive in front of the Matthew Harding.

    Decent draw for us, few teams who we haven't played for a while or in some cases ever.

    Scotland set up for glorious failure once again too.

    Scotland already have a play-off place don't they (so their group is irrelevant as they were never going to win it)?

    We should score eight or nine here. Fulham's back four and midfield are like the Maginot Line.

    Seri is undoubtedly a good player but I'm fed up of him thinking this is the French league where you can take 5 touches in midfield on the ball and not worry about being hassled. We conceded in 90 seconds against City in the exact same manner.

    I suppose Dennis Odoi would be the natural choice (he shouldn't be playing any higher than the Belgian second division).

    Alonso is having one of the worst halves ever for a winning team. He’s ran into Fulham players every single time or over hit crosses.

    He does that every game. Probably the most overrated player in the world because he knocks the odd goal in. Emerson is far better.

    Mesut Ozil misses out today with a 'back spasm'. Out of pure curiosity, I looked up last year's weekend where they were wearing the rainbow laces, and he also missed that game through 'illness' after having starred in a derby win the previous week.

    It's not so much a winter slump but an extended 3 month period of him being dogshit whenever he's in my fantasy team.
