    €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.

    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

    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.

    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 2025

    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.

    The best way would be to have a 4 or 6 week international block at once, but the clubs would hate that for cashflow reasons presumably.

    I would be quite happy with Brendan Rodgers as United manager, although his head would probably explode.

    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.

    Lindelof completely shredded by someoneashvili there.

    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.

    What an awfully unsettled life.

    I'm wrong. He only spent the first half of 2013-14 with Vitesse. The second half was with Lazio.

    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.

    I also have 01/02 legendary goalkeeper Dionis Chiotis, my favourite player ever Jamie Redknapp and Danish defender Andreas Bjelland cos his name makes me laugh.

    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.

    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.

    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.
