    80% possession. 0.07xG and 1-0 down. That's a painful watch.

    Pochettino is really going to be in charge against your lot in 2 weeks. I need to go into hiding.

    Disasi was going mental after the second goal. They might not be the best players we've ever had but they're really quite likeable.

    Youthful exuberance

    Disasi loves a goal celebration. In the crowd at every opportunity.

    I like this story about 'keepers not being replaceable in the albeit unlikely event that they get a blue card, leaving you with the choice of having to sub an outfielder and then have 2 'keepers when the other one comes back on 10 minutes later, presumably necessitating another sub, or chancing your arm with Kyle Walker in goal for 10 minutes.

    Is there something in the rules to stop teams just having their guys feign injury for chunks of the 10 minutes in order to run the clock down?

    I thought players receiving medical attention were required to spend 90 seconds off the pitch, thus putting you down to 9 men, although there are loopholes in that for 'actual' injuries, however the fuck you determine that. I haven't noticed the 90 second rule being particularly stringently enforced.

    Maybe a better way to address concerns about serious/professional foul play would be to have an 'on report' system if you must borrow something from rugby, with the threat of a one match ban if the panel think whatever you have done meets whatever the threshold is. At least that would provide a significant disincentive, which I guess is the whole point, without fucking the flow of the game itself up.

    It’s 30 seconds. But if two players on same team collide I’m pretty sure they don’t need to go off the pitch. Remember John Terry saying him and Gary Cahill done it before

    Didn't they make it longer recently, which is why quite a lot of players are saying no thanks to the medics coming on after lying on the floor for a bit?

    Although I do quite like the idea of contrived, Benny Hill style collisions between players on the same team during any blue card period.

    Got to think that there is so little fanfare for the return of the Champions League that they're going to need to do something with the format beyond pissing around with a mega group stage or whatever it is we get next year.

    Inter, PSG and Real seem the only sides capable of stopping City and I'm really not too keen on the latter two. A double treble would be a fantastic way of leaving with Klopp.

    Tuchel winning that Champions League will keep him at the top table for years. But, he’s so far from a top level manager. Seems like he’s alienated half the Bayern squad to me with his decisions and the squad building(which isn’t all on him) is horrendous.

    lol at Kane moving for some easy trophies and ending up with fuck all potentially as well.

    Big problem for Tuchel is he's burned through two already, with a third top job seemingly slipping away from him. The only job he'd likely be appointed at in England again is United(maybe Newcastle?). In Germany he's ticked off the top two already and is there a point in going to a non-PSG club in France? Hasn't really lasted longer than 2 seasons anywhere since Mainz too.

    As for our 'arry, I saw on Twitter someone said he's going to make the move to Celtic at 35 to try and win something and Hibs will appear and win the league. Could totally believe it too.

    I don't think Tuchel fits us. If we're going to struggle to compete in the transfer market, we're better off with the Eddie Howes of the world.

    I know it's all very early and there's no guarantees of anything, but the difference in how Ineos are acting compared to the last however many years of the Glazers is enormous. Actually trying to put a proper structure in place on the footballing side with competent people in role.

    That UEFA report thing was quite an interesting read/scan through.

    If by back you mean back to Fergie era levels, then that's probably never going to happen, although City getting fucked and Chelsea continuing to be run by morons will help.

    No point hiring Brighton recruitment staff on Man Utd / Chelsea budgets. Actually amazing that they are stupid enough to think this. Just buy the obvious best players and you'll win more.

    Not quite as easy as that when you enter fallen giant status as the obvious best players aren't often that interested in long term projects and/or have better offers available to them.

    Can they lure Mbappe, for example, in a world where limitless money is much easier to find and fund elsewhere?

    That's where Ineos should be pitching their rebuild, a transformational signing.

    They'd be mad to do so. Looking at upwards of a million a week to get him. They have already had problems with paying players far more than they are worth and all it would do is fuel wage inflation within the squad further. I think he's a fantastic player but he has priced himself out of the market even for Madrid by being paid Messi/Ronaldo money at PSG. Even though he is obviously a brilliant footballer, I'm not sure he is on the same level as those two were at their peaks - and to be fair they actually only seemed to earn the crazy money over the past few years when they were probably past their peak.

    These clubs are obsessed with the Germans despite Klopp being the only successful one. One day these sporting directors will open their eyes and see the truth, the Bundesliga is a load of old shite.

    If you get Mbappe for anything less than a world record fee and wage. You have a bargain.
