    Aye, Mbeumo's was a lovely glided daisycutter into the bottom corner. They'll hope for more of that from him.

    La Liga Round 3: Rayo - Barca 1-1

    Brutal. Cut right to the bone.

    Deservedly so, too. It wasn't a fluke. United started lots of their first-choice players and Grimsby were very unlucky not to win in 90 minutes. A bad call was made ruling a goal out that would have seen them go 3-0 up.

    Champions League 25/26

    Ajax, City and Qarabag all came out for me in the random simulator. That's three of the 8 I predicted. Not sure on H or A. Not too bad.

    Away to Kairat - you must be a glass half empty type. Probably be before a big La Liga game also, lol.

    @FCBfan22 I think I made this post the other day, but not taking into account how important subs, conditioning, and squads are, this is the best 11 for them to start most games imo. Not saying I rate this team as I don't, but it's the best they can muster: Onana (he's still better than...

    Premier League 25/26

    I rate Yoro, I think de Ligt is poor (but still better than their midfielders, goalkeepers and strikers, and Maguire and Shaw). But yeah, playing 433 with a holding midfielder would help a bit. But ultimately changing formation will put more square pegs in square holes, but it isn't gonna...

    Premier League 25/26

    True, they'll still be poor, but playing a midfield two with Fernandes as one of them is making them worse. He's a slightly above average AM (lots of flaws there), but an awful CM. They should have sold him and got a proper midfielder with the cash. Maybe they could still have got Mbeumo too...

    La Liga Round 3: Rayo - Barca 1-1

    Some parts of that pitch look like something George Best could have played on in the 1960s.

    @RedxMAK @Barcaman @Andresito @Alik Everyone should predict who they think Barca will get. Anyone who gets the 8 teams right, including correct home and away (extremely unlikely) gets to be a mod for a month. Thoughts?

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    'Leagues cup' or even in UK 'League cup' is such a funny name. Bound to confuse casual viewers who already don't know the difference between a double round robin league system and a single/double elimination knockout tournament.

    Premier League 25/26

    Yeah fair enough mate. I was in a pumped up mood when I posted that as I was still laughing at them losing. The officials attempted to help them as much as they could, though. Sesko deserves everything he gets for going there. I don't rate him anyway based on what i saw from him before he...

    Champions League 25/26

    Pots for the draw. Every team will get two teams per pot, including their own. Country protection is active. Cannot draw more than two teams from a nation (I think). I am sure all you football obsessives know the format anyway Pot 1: PSG, Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern, Liverpool...

    Premier League 25/26

    Also, United will play only PL games now, until January. I noticed it in pre-season, but with EFL Cup and FA Cup and lacking European nights, United could only play a maxlmum of about 50 games this season. That's down to 45 now (38 PL + 1 EFL Cup + 6 FA Cup, and that's only if they make the...

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    It's more to do with the fact that footballers (including full backs) seem to be prioritised for pace, athleticism, strength, stamina now, than football abilities. That's just the way the game has gone. It's also not to say those players lack football ability. It's more a reflection on the game...

    Aye that makes a lot of sense. They don't in international qualifiers either.
