    The french women’s manager looks exactly like Jurgen Klopp if he’d been born with tits.

    Wayne Rooney back to the MLS as manager of DC United seems a bit of a backwards step given he reportedly turned down Everton at one point. I understand why he left Derby (would have been nice if he'd stayed and guided them up, mind) but only benefit to joining DC I see is he'll be able to make more mistakes whilst he gains experience than he would in England.

    One to watch perhaps.

    I see Rashford has had a nice PR piece written for him on The Athletic today.

    We've sacked our fucking disgusting Croatian bum of a manager today. God, I fucking love it, have had toe ndure 2 months of this terrorist destroying all of Quieroz's work and sure, we're 4 months away from the WC but literally anything is better than sticking with that cunt. If they bring back CQ, it'll be scenes reminiscent of 1979 witg the Ayatollah.

    England 6-0 against Norway and it isn't even half time.

    I thought Norway were supposed to be decent?
    They've been defending worst than a Sunday league team.

    I had Sky Sports News on this morning and I’m sure they tried to spin Norway as our toughest test of the tournament. Lol if so.

    It's been relentless. I think it's a bit like the men's where Norway have one great player (Hegerberg) and the rest are a bit of a shambles.

    England look decent going forward, but the defensive line from Norway is worse than an Under 11s team.

    England's delivery from the final third has been genuinely superb. Norway's defending, less so.

    Yeah, it is a bit.

    A 'towering header' there without even needing to really jump. Norway's keeper looks bobbins.

    They've not been that good for a while. This is probably a bit like the England men's team putting 8 past Norway.

    Missed opportunity to not bowl out some sort of Bjørge Lillelien homage there.

    Morten Harket, Ole Gunnar Solsjaer, Magnus Carlsen, Roald Amundsen, Harald V, are you watching Harald V . . .

    Carvalho and Elliott predictably looking like they'll have the monopoly on Ballon D'Ors for the next couple decades and Nat Phillips and Rhy Williams looking like sunday league footballers. Promising.

    No more signings anticipated for Liverpool as far as I have read so my early prediction for the top four is:

    Man City
    Liverpool
    Tottenham
    Chelsea

    Someone start the thread. Tottenham won't be the Tottenham we've come to know I don't think.

    City won't lose the league again for a decade or more, or if they do it will be to Newcastle.

    United have probably already won their final English title before the world moves on to super leagues and similar corporate nightmare hellscapes.

    Not sure how you can come to that conclusion given they very nearly did last season. I imagine Haaland will score plenty but stranger things have happened, unlikely as it may be I know.

    Newcastle don't seem to be going gung ho in the manner City and Chelsea did, if anything they seem to be more reserved and buying who they need. European football will be a huge success for them I reckon.

    City will absolutely piss the league for the next 4/5 years.

    Genuinely think Liverpool will drop off a little this season then be back to being just another top 4 side.

    We'll barely scrape top 4 for a few seasons, most we can expect.

    Maybe. I don't see it myself given the only time we've regressed that much was because of a horrendous injury crisis. If we do then we can't have any excuses given we've spent a decent amount.

    I'm a little iffy about not signing a midfielder given how injury prone a few of ours are but what can you do. Man United will have their moments but surely can't be as bad as last season.

    Nunez did not impress. Malacia is also another bum fullback with no attacking talent.

    So that's a no then. I'll give him 1 more competitive 90 but I think the significant numbers of gimps calling him crap might be onto something here. Worst case scenario Klopp will protect him enough for us to get half our money back and hopefully he doesn't eat too many minutes off the rest.

    Is that the half hour against the first team, the second team or the U18's? Still no idea how the xG stuff is worked out.

    (PS, check PMs) I gotta go to work and get bantered over a bloody friendly now. FML.

    However they work it out, I imagine ours has taken a hit by simply getting rid of Sadio Mane. You can't begrudge him the move but I have a iffy feeling that we'll miss him much more than some realise.

    From only reading about the game, I would suggest Diaz/Carvalho/whoever meffing open goals from yards out probably rank as higher xG situations than some sort of outrageous 20 yard chip from Fred did.

    Yeah but it's good practice for when UEFA get their way and football is just the same ten teams playing each other pointlessly forever.
