You'd think even getting dual nationality lads from lower leagues here and around Europe would see them being capable of beating Afghanistan etc? I work with some asian lads who are football daft, mad that such a big population has produced so few decent players, India obviously another anomality.

I think he was possibly better the season before to be honest, was a bit patchy last season but still good. I think he will do fine in the longer term so not going to gloat too much about his slowish start.

I accidentally deleted mine of sky plus, unless it just lapsed or something, wonder if its on itv player.

Gerrard seemed to change more games, not sure if thats because he was often surrounded by much poorer players than Scholes was, the 2005 CL winning side a case in point. Gerrard a better tackler as well. Didn't like him but don't get the notion that they were different class.

so that wasn't the answer I was looking for as it was printed on a Scotland t shirt for italia 90, but you are actually correct, unless there was another one earlier! Umbro should have done some fact checking, maybe they meant in europe. Well done.

Seen a stat the other day, first country to go through qualifying to reach 5 consecutive world cups?, ie not as winner or host, not verified if true but seems legit.

Hopefully the Swiss pump Sweden into the play offs at best, sorry for Elanga and Kraft, and some of the posters here but it would be amusing.

Football ranking has us getting 5th and a champions league spot, with Villa getting the Europa spot https://x.com/footrankings/status/1975923623899644280?s=46&t=I_jn09_JyisSldR_poIrZg

It’s going to be open for fourth again I think as Chelsea have been patchy, despite a good result yesterday. Not worried about man united at all, spurs are a bit better but we should be finishing above them.

easy no for me

Zombies by their very nature are inconsistent .

quite a few pods I've listened too, mainly betting ones, suggesting the big guns don't need to go full pelt every game. PSG ironically the possible exception due their league tile being a practical formality, but by the time we play them can't imagine they will be as bothered as last time, and hopefully we will not be either. The goal difference could be crucial from last night. 4 points from next 2 homes would put us in a good position, 6 is ideal and would have us practically through.

Andy Brassel predicted on a pod before the season, posisbly true faith, that we would win the europa league in the next 5 years, hard to see us getting back in the CL n current form but still early days, Chelsea still have same problems and reasonable chance it wuld go to top 5 again, agree Man U still off it and Spurs better but not amazing. Real chance for someone else to be this years Forest.

That did strike me as a bit small time mind

totally agree, still odds against and they're 5 points clear already. Will be even further ahead of Arsenal after sunday hopefully, I don't think they are credible challengers, but obviously still decent.

Really hard week this week, Liverpool and arsenal were the only odds on shots, and dont trust arsenal

Came on here to say he walk past my house near the gunner

lol at this bit: For 90 minutes at least, Asprilla did replace Newcastle’s record goal-scorer. And then some. “Are you watching Sunderland,” the Gallowgate bellowed. Perhaps not – they may have still been recovering from the previous night’s League Cup first-leg victory over Bury in front of 18,000.

Was looking for Italy game on Amazon other day and stumbled accords fifa tv which is free, shows classic games and World Cup films etc, worth a butchers if at a loose end of good background tv for those blessed home workers.
