    Whisper it but I do like what Jose is doing with that Spurs side. He could easily bin off the South Americans and lump 40 yarders for Kane to nod down to Son but his team selections hint at some scenes imminent.

    Brighton making a mockery of their own reticence to resume playing. They should really have known that no tempo, no atmosphere football would be right up their street.

    Should have brought Muzza on for the penalty (or Gross). You can almost do that with 5 subs and not have it be too risky.

    17 year old Adam Hlozek with 2 goals today. He'll be a slightly worse Gareth Bale eventually. Adam Karabec, though. A taller Pirlo in the making

    I'm off for my first away game of the season in a couple of weeks - away to Hong Linh Ha Tinh (Hanoi B, lol). They got 22,000 for their last game (stadium holds 14,500 or something :/ ). Should be good. We are top following our 3-1 destruction away to SLNA last night.

    I need a Vietnam team for the banter. Can Tho seems the closest thing to a Mekong Delta team. Bottom of the second division. Lovely.

    If you're looking for an exhaustive guide to the top division teams then look no further.

    On paper that's our strongest line-up IMO. Brandon Williams in for Shaw arguably.

    INB4 we fail to break them down for 70 minutes and lose to a counter-attack that De Gea and Maguire make a mess of.

    Wouldn't McTominay for Matic be a better option? Or is macho man decent again?

    Your midfield will probably be overrun by their sneaky overlapping centre-halves or whatever it is they do.

    The one in front of the back four isn't McTominay's best position; he's a better player than Matic nowadays but Matic is really our only specialist in that roll in the squad tbh.

    Bruno + Pogba together completely transforms this team.

    Rashford should probably have two goals, although that second one was a difficult take.

    The fact that this game switches channels at 7pm is why terrestrial television can't have nice things.

    It looks getatable to me, so I would like to see it at full fitness and/or against a good team.

    Not a fan of music after a goal, they could at least play the songs that players songs are based off.

    Guess I have to get used to hearing Song 2.

    I was once told by someone in the business that sponsors love goal music, stadium music, any kind of loud and intrusive music in sport - particularly the same old familiar tunes which are overplayed - because it creates a subliminal link in the viewer's mind, whenever they hear the music, to the brands they were being exposed to at the time - shirt sponsors, pitchside sponsors, the club itself.

    Bang on the money, why do brands like Coca Cola and Budweiser spent fortunes on advertising when everyone knows who they are? Same reason.

    I watched this not too long back and there's a chunk in it which mirrors what you said but aimed primarily at children. Interesting watch I thought.

    I meamn I think it's fairly common knowledge now that Harvey Elliott will win the Ballon D'or and bring the world cup home as the most gifted English footballer ever but Williams is gonna push Trent into midfield towards end of next season.
