Carson was at home, the one that was in Goal. Dudek was at Anfield, FA Cup 4th round, got beat with 2 Bruno Cheyrou goals iirc.

I gave up on the Ramble about a year ago when they made the rotating panel permanent. It's all about the contributors rather than the specific podcast. I find all of the main weekend ones have a number of bland and uninteresting contributors. There's people, especially on the TFS, who I've heard speaking for dozens of hours and I couldn't even tell you their name or any opinion they hold. I like Cox and Storey on the Totally Football Show but I can take or leave most of the others, I find the Guardian's Football Weekly line up to be generally more interesting despite Glendenning being thoroughly obnoxious re: NUFC. Second Captains is absolutely the most interesting listen for my money. Ken Early is brilliant and they always have interesting contributors on. It tends to focus on the big stories from the weekend though (which usually means the big clubs) so you might not like it so much if that's not your bag. Over time I've found I actually prefer that. I get bored by the "3 minutes on Burnley vs Wolves, 4 minutes on Southampton vs Leeds" that the other formats settled on long ago.

I can hardly think of a worse deal to make. Past his best, highly paid, would command a big fee.

£165?!

"Our two best players and our new £20m signing are black, hope they feel welcome and want to stay for a long time. Say, the players are about to make an anti racism gesture for two whole seconds, I've got a good idea..."

Locking this for a bit for reasons that are entirely obvious.

Nearly there already

I can afford my council tax bill, doesn't mean I'm happy about it. He loves the money you give him, that's why he stays, why he has stayed for 14 years and why he will be here until he pops it and his kids take over. It's free money with no effort.

Been there, done that, got a load of grief. You're welcome to it.

A few people didn't go for a few months and he gave away 10,000 season tickets for free. Aye he's clearly not bothered. So glad I don't have these roundabout unwinnable arguments any more with people who are intent on shoving money into his pocket until the day they die.

Ake and Skipp for me 28/1

What a fucking player he is man.

Adam Armstrong off the mark

Free 365er on Ings to score, McGinn and Cleverly to get booked 50/1

What a fucking pass that was from Pogba.

Dallas/McTominay 40/1 Maguire/Bamford 2 SOT 110/1

Forgot to flag it in here (and I didn't win anyway thanks to only 2 goals in Germany) but it was the absolute best card fixture in Europe tonight, I don't know why but Valencia and Getafe absolutely hate each other. Tonight's game finished 6-3 on yellows with a red each.

365 offering £5 on any PL game. I'll probably take Watford Villa as Dean's doing it.

Bit of a farce making them play ET in the Super Cup.

Sky will be snapping up the rights to show that one for sure.

FFS my shot slips were looking well tasty until now, that's most of them dead.

Pau Torres starting poor fucker must be absolutely knackered.

Definitely easier to score goals in Germany generally, it's so open. Not uncommon for Bayern to be 2-0 down at HT and win 5-2. Last season they went through a run where they conceded the first goal for 8 Bundesliga games in a row and they didn't lose a single one of those games. Just so easy for them to step it up offensively against Bundesliga defences.

What's that got to do with Bayern's players still managing to be competitive in the Champions League despite easy league campaigns every year? I don't see the connection. Pretty sure Joshua Kimmich doesn't have his mind on the 2011 Dortmund side as some sort of motivation.

Yeah that's definitely the reason.
