Is it just me who thinks Watford actually have a decent amount about them and might be OK? Sarr and Dennis are 2 of the best attackers in the lower half IMO. Granted they need to sort their defence out but by all accounts they've deserved a lot more than what they've got from recent games. Clearly, that's from an objective perspective.

On a relentless run of one aways at the moment. The latest culprits Cologne who failed to register at home for the first time since February. Sound.

Tbh, thinking about it, it's actually probably a small fraction of the money you could potentially win using it. But meh, principle.

What a man. Will never forget him missing most of a season with a "tropical disease" he got while going fishing.

Guessing this has been said but Player Stats website is now paid sub. Absolute cowboys.

Think he's saved by his boot bouncing up off the ball.

Be careful with that mate, they could easily knock it off your balance even if it means a negative balance.

Cheer up you lot.

You're in good form with these assist bets - guessing its mainly PP for the doubles?

In a word, this. Wasn't aware so many people were precious, tbf. You're going to get a load of shit for years to come, because why wouldn't you? Any team would. Embrace it. ?

Hes now dishing out cards for the exact challenges he let go in the first half. Madness.

Then immediately books Pogba for that. Righto.

Taylor just ignoring a series of blatant yellows.

Great bet Wullie. Eric Garcia looks way too long on Sky. 13/2.

Thing is its not like she wasn't a bit of a card nutter, she just directed them at England players for barely anything. Rotten luck.

Hacked someone on HT, ignored. Just given a pen away with a cynical foul when arguably it was a goalscoring opportunity, nothing.

How's that not a card?!

If you'd told me there had been 3 cards I'd have thought I'd have had at least 1 of mine. Sancho and Stones, you joking me?

Thanks Wullie. Absolutely shite that from Flash Scores saying he was playing. Swapped him for Jesus Rubio.

Gone for Vales, Rebes and Vieira as a trixie. All booked last time, all generally cardy. 66/1 for the whole treble, would be lovely.

Evening all.

The idea of Andros Townsend actually getting to Ronaldo is hilarious.

Long way to go. We did struggle badly against "weaker" teams last year so it's encouraging we're winning those games, but that's the thing, we've played barely anyone so far. And arguably our toughest game, away to Villa, we delivered what can only be described as a harrowingly bad performance. Think the 13pts from 6 games does gloss over some major issues we still have which better teams will expose (e.g. we are still terribly slow starters, can look half asleep for large periods of games), but obviously can't knock it so far.

There's a strong argument to be made that we are currently one of the best teams in the world.

Most of this will likely have already been said so I'm lazily just copying what I messaged a few people earlier, but my 2 pennies: I feel this is another example of the tribalism in the country and how people are more bothered about sticking to a rigid opinion instead of being bothered by actual evidence. It's "Southgate is shit" vs "hes mint, ignore the flaws" which is a fucking preposterous mentality to have. We've made huge progress this tournament, shown a lot more composure than we have for decades. We are in a great position for the next few tournaments with so much young talent in the squad. Southgate got found out 2nd half, Mancini changed things and swung the game in their favour. Southgate is clearly a very very good man manager. Tactically he got found wanting in the big moments last night People (not specifically on here) can't seem to accept all of the above can be true at the same time. Proud, frustrated, optimistic and gutted all in one. Football, eh?
