    Almiron has been brilliant lately.

    Imagine buying Jack Grealish when you could have had Almiron.

    VAR is so shit. It might be one of the worst things conceived in all of human history.

    Apparently the Championship managers are all desperate for it to be introduced there. Not sure why, that's another post-match excuse gone.

    Spurs and Arsenal's lack of depth is noticeable compared to Chelsea.

    Yeah, as far as I can see Spurs haven’t even had any injuries of note and they’ve already peaked. Between Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool for the other two spots. Might depend on the January window.

    I don't think I've ever seen a Newcastle side with a defence this well organised.

    You've also never seen a Newcastle side with a player as individually talented and influential as Bruno G.

    Roma-Napoli time. Jose will no doubt be seeking to capitalise on Ndombele having to start.

    Fantastic NARRATIVE scenes on the last day of the Argentine Primera.

    Boca trailed Racing by a point going in, each playing the other's fiercest rivals. Racing get a penalty at 1-1 in the final minute which would have won it for them, they miss, River go up the other end and score, giving the title to Boca.

    You say that but he would instantly be our best midfielder.

    I bet they've just re-laid the pitch. Actually, it's looking a bit rough.

    Such a bad appointment. The guy only works in the Spanish language. Might need a double translator to get his instructions into Brummie.

    They have a grand total of 1 Brummie in the first team squad as far as I can see.

    Dortmund have the tactics bang on so far. Causing city loads of problems in midfield. Moukoko should have them 1 or 2 up already.

    Absolutely clear dive with no contact from Mahrez and it isn't even checked. At least he fucked it.

    Watching PSG against bums is great fun. Almost as good as watching them be brought to tears by competent sides.

    Some classic ex-Chelsea black as coal English fuck has come on for Juve and looked class.

    Former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards looks like he's off to Man Utd. Bit of a fall from grace, lad.

    I respect the recent Irish hustle just as much as any man, in fact I wanked off to an image of QPR's Sinclair Armstrong just last night knowing how the lad is going to tear up English football/vaginas for the next 2 decades but seeing "Trent Toure Kone-Doherty" as one of the goalscorers for Liverpool youth today is special. His dad is really taking Project Mbappe to the next natural step.

    Our midfield is being hopelessly outclassed so far. No protection for the defence, no quality on the ball, no attacking threat. The perfect combination.

    This should have been the 4-3-3 with Harvey in midfield and Carvalho left but he can’t really be dropping Firmino right now.
