    Brentford B's bench tonight featured the sons of Jason Wilcox, Kevin Lisbie, Paul Dickov, Steven Pressley and David Beckham.

    A pretty amusing punt that they're clearing taking.

    Was only a matter of time before the data crowd turned to eugenics. Probably get all their first teamers to donate sperm at training.

    IIRC Paul Dickovs kid was at City youth in the same group as Foden and was their second best player. Was a running joke that he was better than his old man.

    It was actually Rowan Vine (Portsmouth, Brentford, Colchester United, Luton Town, Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers (QPR), Hull City, Milton Keynes Dons, Exeter City, Gillingham, St Johnstone, Hibernian and Greenock Morton, and non-league football for Welling United, Havant & Waterlooville, Gosport Borough (three spells), Basingstoke Town, Southall (two spells), Hayes & Yeading United, Hartley Wintney (two spells), Alresford Town, Moneyfields, Tadley Calleva and Hemel Hempstead Town)'s son who was on the bench last night. Steven Pressley's boy is on their books as well though.

    I thought I saw Steven Pressley's son playing for Accrington the other day. Perhaps he was on loan.

    Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay have officially submitted their joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup - 100 years after the inaugural tournament was held in Montevideo.

    The four South American nations have called for the World Cup to return to "where football was born".

    They still have their backs up about Stanley Rous in a serious way in that part of the world.

    Would be a great host venue(s) though. World Cup final in the Centenario, make it happen please.

    Having it in Uruguay and the lads is the obvious sentimental choice, so with that in mind I'd like to congratulate Saudi Arabia on their successful bid.

    I think thommo has banged this drum plenty, but Joao Palhinha should not be playing for Fulham. Just had a look at his fbref numbers and sure enough he's leagues ahead of his peers.

    Great to see the emo score and delay the suicide attempt but can't help thinking Antony has been missed here.

    Great bit of seethe from Shaw and a few others, Elland Road game promises serious fireworks.

    I will take it. Obviously it's disappointing to lose the two goal lead but in reality it's a great point. Who knew all we needed to do to look a half-way decent side again was drop the horrible, repetitive, super-narrow build up play? Revelatory stuff.

    Felix has played about 65 mins in total and been the best player for every minute by a mile.

    And Enzo Fernandez is that guy.

    That goal is one of those that is simultaneously really shit to concede, but also you couldn't have done anything about no matter what you did.

    Well, Cucurella could have just cleared it. I have no idea why they try to beat the press down the left as it always ends with them losing it. He’s so out of his depth compared to last year for Brighton.

    West Ham will win this, they always do. Couldn’t tell you the last time Chelsea won an early kick off in front of fans either

    Why are commentators continually talking about us in terms of needing to make up points to make the Champions League places? It's so lazy. We demonstably have neither any opportunity neither any interest in making up such a huge deficit.

    I've been trying to place him. I'm pretty sure he's usually heard doing either the u17 world cup or the women's luge.

    Potter has clearly done some sterling work (small s) on the training ground this week, so credit to him, but we're still yet to find any kind of emotional tone for this team. Great half hour of technical stuff and then as soon as the knees up mother brown crowd start going we look completely lost.
