Can see Big Joe out left or Isak if Wilson is back.

I can understand the logic of a woman who played in the WSL, especially well before its current peak, commenting on elite men's football and some people having an issue with it. Its similar to what John Terry said about Robbie Savage commenting on title races and the Champions League when he has no experience of either. I don't really agree with that thinking but I understand why he thinks that way. But I disagree with the notion female pundits have no place in the men's game. They've still dedicated their lives to football and know the game better than most, and tbh most come across far better than some of the men doing punditry anyway. I'd have the likes of Karen Carney commenting on a match over clowns like Robbie Savage and Michael Owen any day of the week. There's also the symbolism of having women around men's football too which is very important in breaking down barriers for women following football in general. I still know plenty of idiots who think women can't even comment on football or if they do their opinions aren't taken seriously simply because they're a woman and what would a woman know about football? If having women commentating, doing punditry etc helps eradicate that kind of thinking then I'm all for it. Young people are growing up now being used to seeing women in and around football coverage and should hopefully never think like that. Another point is that people put way too much stock in punditry. A football match is about the 90 minutes on the pitch, who really gives a shite about what happens before, after and during half-time? Half the time pundits are just saying daft shite to get a video trending on social media, its becoming more and more performance art than anything that should be taken seriously.

Just seen Rafa liked the TNT footage of Schars goal on Instagram. Hit me in the feels that did.

No issue getting the fans in early tonight anyway. Place is fucking bouncing with 15 minutes to go.

I'm buzzing even at the footage from Dortmund in the other game, we're going there too. Fuck I hope we make this again for next year.

Have IPTV set up on my TV.

Paramount passing out the sausage rolls.

Couldn't get a ticket man.

When the games on I'd say TNT but for punditry definitely Paramount. Far better than Rio.

Flicking between Paramount and TNT is really helping stop these ad breaks killing the buzz.

I'm worried sick about Lascelles and Burn here tonight like.

Kate Abdo vs Laura Woods is a tough choice tonight like.

I actually don't think the Spain - Portugal - Morroco World Cup sounds that bad tbh. At least the other countries are just 3 games but I wouldn't like to be the teams that have to do the needless travelling. Its a shame that the thing is so expensive to host these days that countries are opting to share pretty much every competition now (including the Euros). I think it had a lot more character when it was all in the one country.

Yeah sure lets just start replaying games when the referee makes a mistake. Part of me would love to see it and for Spurs to win 3-0 though.

20 years ago £40m was an incredible fee, now no one bats an eyelid at it. Theres more money in football than there's ever been and £70m, £80m and even £100m are going to start to become more common.

What I mean by easily is that if a top club wants him they'll pay it because its not a figure they'd be sweating over. Chelsea, City, Real and PSG would all pay it without thinking twice if they really wanted him, as we have seen with previous transfers. Liverpool also put a £100m bid in for Caicedo so they aren't afraid to spend it. I think if we're to put a release clause on one of our best players then it has to be something so big that its unlikely anyone would trigger it, but this figure is easily attainable for the top clubs. We'll have to wait and see if there's any truth in it anyway.

3 of them have been this year, the game is changing to the point where this kind of money is being easily spent by the top clubs.

The disrespect Man Utd gave to De Gea after 11 years at the club, just to go and get this absolute donkey Onana in. Fucking hilarious.

I'd be surprised if Tuchel is Bayern manager next season at this rate. They've been poor every time I've seen them.

That Mikey guy is a prick, and while I agree that reckless drivers are pricks too, the overall issue with Mikey and the likes of him are that they actively go looking for these situations and act like condescending dicks for a reaction, just because they know its being filmed and they want a viral video. All desperate for Youtube subscribers and for Jeremy Vine to mention their videos on Twitter. They're no different to any other twat on YouTube going around trying to get a rise out of people just going about their day.

I bet all the kids going tomorrow night are absolutely buzzing to see Mbappe out there. This is what its all about. Two years ago we were on another nose dive to the Championship and now we've a Champions League night with PSG coming up, fucking class.

When it comes to keeping hold of Bruno it is because we’ve seen this summer that clubs will pay it. I’m sure we’ll replace him alright but it’d be a shame to see him go.

If his release clause is about £100m then that is a big worry. Clubs will easily pay that if he has another good season. It’ll be good for our FFP but I thought if it was gonna be there it’d be higher.
