    All the away games would have been decent for the English and Scottish teams. Maybe Wolfsburg is naff but the rest offer a lot.

    Leipzig is far from ideal but Utd and Chelsea's draws have cheered me up.

    The prospect of being knocked out by a combination of Simeone, Chewy Louis, and a selection of Uruguayan hardmen has led me to thinking that it's all about the FA Cup really.

    That's alright that. I think Channel 4 had the rights to it one year.

    Slightly related, the WSL (womens PL) putting all their matches on sky and banning media access to any non-traditional media is the death of that version sport going anywhere

    If I was League One/Two I would be giving each local version of BBC one match a week depending on region a week. What pays more, the 2 thousand people in the stadium or 40 thousand people looking at your advertising hoardings on tv?

    I'd say the child is the one doing the scything there, but Danny Drinkwater is still at Chelsea? Puts old Winston Bogarde in some sort of perspective.

    You wouldn't believe some of the people who are still at Chelsea. Marco van Ginkel. Baba Rahman. Lucas Piazon. Tiemoue Bakayoko.

    I think we got rid of Djilobodji but I'm not 100%.

    I had to google to see if Kerlon still played. That career became a non-event as soon as he took the plane to Italy. Did Gladio plant a bomb in his knees?

    I don't think Kerlon was ever good, he just did that seal dribble thing and got bought on meme potential.

    He donned this tournament to death so there must have been something there. Doesn't work out for everyone.

    This month's FFT has an article on perennial wonder kid Freddie Adu. He's currently signed a short term deal for a Swedish third division club so get ready to watch him in January.

    Poor Werner being thrown out on the wing every game is utterly stupid.

    Ziyech proving to be the most important player.

    Ziyech and Pulisic are the lock pickers. Havertz body language is seriously terrible, as is Paul Scholes's punditry. It's like listening to a puddle speaking.

    He can't see or weight a pass and wants way too much time. Don't get the sweet wide open spaces over here.

    Stick him in the hole just behind Werner, give him free reign and watch him smash the league.

    Wolves are a serious eye bleeding team without Jimenez. It's just Conor Coady-signs-for-Braga and slow football. If Werner didn't fuck up all our attacks we'd have had them on toast here.

    Lampard is fine, he doesn't have the midfield to set the team up any different. Players got complacent when we scored. Chilwell the only one that didn't. Mendy is shite btw.

    Might see Billy G in soon

    'He doesn't have the midfield to set up any different' is some claim given he literally has an international quality midfielder for every conceivable role in the sport.

    I've no idea how football really works, but, to me, looking at a midfield of Havertz, Mount and Kanté, behind three forwards, seems a bit football manager and/or too much work for Kanté. Mount you can get away with, as he works, but flouncy playmakers really can't be inhabiting those engine room positions.

    He’s had a worse start than he did last year. Not even sure he’s beaten a top ten team in the league this year

    He tends to start looking better in second halves of games and then Lampard subs him off. His whole vibe is really questionable though - for someone who looks like an athlete, he doesn't seem to know which foot to put in front of the other half the time, and I've seen him smile about twice all season.

    Not sure what happened with Nkounkou (the PL may have stepped in to prevent Everton starting him under fair competition regulations) but they've gone and produced 16 year old Thierry Small. I believe the correct term is caconym.

    Burnley and Newcastle could potentially plummet so you could imagine an unlikely scenario where West Brom become some Burnley Lite 1-0 merchants.
