If you are in a group with 6 teams your results against the worst side don't count

Van Gaal/Robben got them to third place in the World Cup like

I thought the same about Alnwick last season but it turned out Alnwick was considerably worse

He's not, man. You've just got to ask less of him. It's ridiculous how much is asked of him when he plays. That's one of the reasons why I think he'd benefit more from playing with Kane. Runs the channels, creates space, holds the ball up - plus he's a very tidy finisher. He looks like he has more to offer to the current England incarnation than Sturridge, imo. Haven't really seen Sturridge since he got back from injury but if he can get back to how he was a couple of seasons ago he's your best player IMO

Full six points off Switzerland and Slovenia is pretty good

You can't just sell the club until you have someone who will buy it so I would think it's less likely that someone will buy it if we are in the Championship rather than the Premiership

It's not about the players for me, it's about the fact that the only way we could ever win the league would be by becoming the toy of some oil billionaire. What's the point in a competition that has 20 participants but only four of them can win it? Play-offs. One of the top 4 would still win Does the best team always win the FA or League Cup? Well most of the time a top four team wins yes, although there are obviously exceptions. Of course those tournaments are also often not taken seriously by clubs and they put their reserve teams out particularly in the early stages of the cup. On the playoffs idea, lets say the top 8 teams qualify for playoffs, so maybe Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Swansea, Southampton. That would mean, for example Swansea would have to beat 3 of those teams in a row to be crowned champions, which is incredibly unlikely IMO, especially as all the bigger teams would be incredibly focused on winning every game whereas they may not be as focused in a league game in October. Tbf it isn't a bad idea and may be better than the current system but one of the top four would win every year IMO

What's the story with Bobby Charlton? I don't know much about his personal life

Even if we don't get through here, we're in a playoff next month

Poland miles ahead in passing and footballing ability. 2 all draw means we qualify though

Living very dangerously

Pen, get in

Krychowiak is class, fuck sake

Hoolahan a bit of a loss this evening

Would we qualify for an emergency loan? Not top four so nah

Have you not ever seen Dortmund before like?

Are they expecting that though? Getting them into the Champions League would be a really good achievement IMO. They're miles off winning a league no matter who their manager is

Mole and others said that he played as just an ordinary centre mid last year

Neymar?

Robben is actually my favourite player to watch when in full flight. Just skipping past class defenders at top speed

Barca shirt doesn't seem a great choice for a red vs blues game

I know it's all opinions and that but I can't really fathom people not having Robben in their top 10s. I suppose he's had some injuries the last few years but when fit he's an absolutely unbelievable player
