Thank fuck, surely get rid now.

All hail Aidy!

Arguably going to be our starting 11 vs Croatia, that.

Nah just more that - at the time of posting anyway - it seemed like they were doing alright. Do think the standard of some of them is improving, not that it's hard to improve on nothing.

Not sure what you're getting at?

Pretty sure the second I posted this its all gone wrong for these countries.

Again, the weaker nations causing issues. Netherlands took until nearly HT to score against Gibraltar, Malta drawing away to Croatia and of course Luxembourg.

Was having a look and yeah, seems like they've made strides in the last 5-10 years and increasingly aren't a team you'll necessarily expect to stick 6 or 7 past. Definitely a cut above the absolute lowest level of European countries.

I knew Ireland weren't much good but seemingly they're at Luxembourg's level now.

Done a few small stake bet builders which involve Soucek and Tielemans either scoring or getting a card. And also a batshit crazy 750/1 punt on them both scoring and getting carded. Easy.

Soucek seems long at 5/1 to score. Obviously much tougher opponents but I mean, hes just scored a hatrick. plus Belgium hardly 90s AC Milan at the back.

France can knob off. Had a 40/1 long shot which was looking good until they let Ukraine back into it (France and Belgium most goals and corners both halves)

The crowd go wild.

The floodgates will open but yeah 8 is pushing it.

16 shots to 0.

Sanson came in from behind about 5 mins ago on Reguilon and Dean just ignored it. Tells you everything you need to know.

Came on as a ‘shuttler’ against us. Ta. Might wait see where he's lining up. Still would think he'll be near goal enough though to give it a chance.

Isn't Sanson basically the #10 in this formation? 11/1 for 2+ SOT. Also Sanson and Lucas 2+ SOT 127/1.

All relative. Whether it's £1, £10 or £100 all relative to the person's individual situation and what they can afford to lose.

Nah avoiding the Sanson and Hojbjerg double. That's because I'm on the Hojbjerg and Sanson double. Sorry all.

Finding out it was Marriner put me off having a bet, and it's been a fucking card fest. Sums up my current luck. Well done those on Maguire and Evans.

Done well for neither of these to come in, providing no late heroics.

From the outside I'm surprised. I'm well versed in Ashley not caring one iota about improvement, ambition etc but I thought the distinct threat of him losing potential millions in any sale would force him into action.

Isn't Lingard overpriced for SOTs on PP? 11/2 and 25/1 for 2 and 3?

Thought you'd appreciate it. But seriously - elevation.
