Decent, never been to Ibrox for a game so chuffed with that tbh.

Gillespie doesn't count. Wasn't on the books for NUFC at all between 16 and 21. Anderson wouldn't be named until the following season - but obviously you would be able to play him anyway so makes no practical difference. Krul and Forster would be a reasonable move however if Karius was to leave this summer.

Basically it's not a massive issue if you have a load of good youngsters anyway to fill in the squad. Plus getting by with 21/22 named players in the CL isn't the end of the world. However still better if you can fill those spots.

Anderson would not have to be named in the squad anyway as he is born after January 1 2002. He would be on List B of U21 players which sits outside the squad and is unlimited.

In Europe you also need four club grown players of those 8. If you don't have them you just have to name a smaller squad. At the moment we've only got Longstaff and Dummett so if Dummett went we'd have to have 3 empty spots in European squad (22/25).

He was at Whitley for a bit last season straight from the Alliance and didn't do anything of note so it's surprised me how much he has banged them in the division below. Admittedly we were a bit of a shambles and he didn't get much of a run.

Aiden Rutledge scored 6 tonight for Birtley in NL Div 2 to take his total for the season to 55.

Yeah I'd cancel it and see what happens. I was on the £1 a month deal, it went back up to £8 so I cancelled. They offered it at £2 a month for another year so I signed up again.

I dunno like, Rehhagel is regularly regarded as one of the best international managers ever for that achievement.

Ronnie couldn't resist a qualifying campaign against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, shameless

Also unlike a lot of North American owners they have got involved in football because of how different it is to American sports. The football pyramid system of promotion/relegation and the way clubs are wedded to their communities are basically the main things that attracted McElhenney to look to buy a club in the first place.

Welcome to Wrexham is brilliant. I have no issue whatsoever with them tbh. Their ownership model is a million times better than most who get involved in lower league clubs, particularly compared to the absolute shite that Wrexham have been through. And they both come across brilliantly on the show.

I've always thought Grealish was overrated but to be honest I think he's been brilliant every time I've seen him this season. Far more influential for City than just the stats would suggest.

Chelsea still have to play Man City, Arsenal and Man United all away too.

Best game he's had for the club probably

Across both games I think Forest are the worst team we've played this season like. Even though the two games were basically against different teams Of the starting line up tonight only Niakhite and Johnson started on the opening day.

That's a real shitter tbh. We had Matt Ritchie on tonight again ffs.

Absolutely enthralling that. Never seen a more deserved win. Loved that we never stopped going at it all game.

I genuinely don't get that.

I'm done with footy me like.

Yeah don't get me wrong the ref hasn't helped at all. But we've definitely let it get to us.

Most frustrating thing in this game is we've actuallt been physically bullied/intimidated for a lot of it. Particularly Isak and ASM.

Really decent draw for Roma too. Italian teams have had some unlucky draws over the years and this year appears to be making up for it by giving all of them a red carpet.

That's an incredible opportunity for Napoli. Its basically the draw I was hoping they would get - aside from I would have quite liked an all-Milan quarter final. In a way it has piled the pressure on them because they should be making the final now. The big thing for Napoli is the league is done. They can manage their squad completely for these knock out games.

Yeah basically. Also bureaucracy makes it extremely difficult to get the land and consents (and definitely not the funding) to build new ones ('you already have a perfectly good stadium'). It is happening in some cases but pace is glacial. On a strictly personal and selfish level I'm not bothered. Not until I've ticked off all the great stadiums anyway. But there's no doubt stadium redevelop is pretty key to improving the quality of the 'product' - even just to allow the clubs to have more control over revenue
