Yeah, Juventus barely turned up tbf.

I feel like this isn't the most user-friendly site ever . Bit of a culture shock after ESPN.

Just saw Deuce's team too. Again, if Costa goes he's fucked. I'm presuming that somebody got all the strikers, because bloody hell.

My team looks sort of all right. If Alexis Sanchez goes away then Shak is completely fucked. Anyone got a good team out there?

I'm in a toilet in a rest stop. Can anyone tell me what keepers I have? Too scared to look.

Me neither. I think it will be an even more extraordinary achievement than the last two finishes. I mean, it's not like the big sides hadn't spent shit-tons of money on wages and fees in the last couple of years, but they've had so much time and money to get things right by now, and I expect Liverpool to finish above us this year, finally.

Great idea, fair play to them for doing it like, going to be showing every single round after this too, hopefully give some exposure to different teams Is it churlish of me to be a bit disappointed that one of the teams in the first match is AFC Liverpool? Apparently the other team is a local rival which is why its being shown. Isn't the first qualifying round regional anyway? So most teams will be playing a "local" rival of sorts.

The farce is still going strong everywhere.

The fact that La Liga are trying to make a stand for financial propriety is the most hilarious part.

Why do we watch this bloody sport again?

I'm not even sure that's not a made-up name.

Winner takes it all?

Gary Lineker. Gary Mabbutt too. Chris Hughton.

I have to confess, I'm not looking forward to this season. The money is just...I dunno. I feel like the only thing holding me back from the tipping point is that Spurs are (a) doing well and (b) doing well in an admirable way. I don't think I'll ever be able to walk away entirely, but that taste in my mouth is getting worse and worse. Its a bit like Trump. So much everywhere you turn that you want to just give up. The Neymar debate is a perfect example.

It was sold out at a reduced capacity of about 32k. The Family Enclosure and a block of the Main Stand were shut because they're putting new disabled facilities in. Just so happens that they're the most visible sections on the TV cameras, so it looked empty. We were awful last night until Sandro came on and injected a bit of pace and movement. I really don't see how adding another slow central player in Sigurdsson is going to help the team at all. Sorely lacking pace, width and a target man upfront. You have the pace and width in Bolasie and others, though, don't you? I think we all knew the lack of a target man was going to be a problem. I'm not sure when Bolasie will be back from injury or whether he'll still have that pace when he comes back. Aside from that, there's Mirallas who flatters to deceive, Lennon who isn't good enough and Lookman, who seems like a great prospect but isn't getting a fair chance from Koeman. Slim pickings. I didn't realize that Lookman wasn't getting opportunities. Are they not just easing him in?

It is. The owner is the manager. He's some wideboy cockney arsehole. Just been reading about him. He's set up multiple companies which have went bust, has a steel company and waste management company. He tried to bury 6,000 tonnes of rubbish from his waste management company under the grounds of his Essex mansion. His given name is Dickie, he comes from Billericay, and he's doing very well.

24 mins from start to finish, I need to put my watch list in order properly next time tho because it auto selected a few of my picks The drafts we do in the NFL thread typically take 3-4 hours.

There's stories of us trying to loan him to Turkey. Which would be nice.

The other stumbling block is that apparently he is due an operation on his groin. I suspect Poch had an eye on Barkley replacing Alli while he's suspended in the CL, which the op will presumably put the kibosh on.

Apparently we've been speaking to Everton about him for a while. I fully expect him to move to us, but maybe the Siggy stuff is holding it up. I'm not sure that the people who usually gazump us will be interested, which helps.

Just missed the Kaka cut-off (phew).

Count me in too. Only question will be when we draft, cos I'm in the US.

That game was a handy reminder that however bad Premier League refs are, the alternatives are nearly always worse.
