I'm not itk. Just have friends who like to pretend they are life long itk Chelski supporters (we all know at least 1) Probably talking oxf*rd but both sides apparently trying to complete a season long deal to us, with option to buy. Seems like it's shit or bust for him this year. Didn't he sign a t...

Morocco the first team to be knocked out after that.

Really surprised he hasn't at least been kept on for pre-season. Can only hope that there is another striker coming in else we still look more than a little bare up top.

Pretty bad I thought, then I saw Brentford away:



It's brown.

That's bloody lovely that is.

CountryRoyal It’s dishonest and slimy and sets precedent for how they operate.

You ok, hun?

Stranded Is the longest we've been without a red card in the World Cup? Midway through game 11 and no red to date?

Didn't quite make it through the first round of games without a red.

Yeah, that's my point. VAR is meant to stop the officials from missing stuff so teams aren't hard done by, it's still happening except now we've got annoying breaks in play to go with it. Have we had an "annoying break" yet where a decision has not been correct after it? Not seen every ga...

CountryRoyal This sums up the type of team Tunisia are.

pretty smart move tbf

Very, especially in friendly games with nothing really riding on it.

The problem with VAR at this World Cup has been it not being used when it should have been, not in the use of it when it has. The problem with VAR (which overall has been used well in this WC) is that it all it does is move the potential for error from the ref on the pitch to the ref in Moscow. Nob...

odd law that I have never heard of, and still part of me doubts. But looks amusing as they do it anyway https://twitter.com/BantsFootballFC/status/1008647459445313536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigsoccer.com%2Fthreads%2Fhacking-vodka-and-dashboard-cams-fifa-world-cup-russia-20...

So overall, the right result and great for England to be up and running after game 1. With Panama next, England should be into the knockout stages with a game to spare. Then a case of if they finish first or second. Following the Germany result, if they go on to finish 2nd then there could be an arg...

Get carried away in every good place you find yourself in. Let your mind soar and your heart race. England will win this World Cup. And until they don’t in 10 days time I’m gonna enjoy it. I love supporting England. Right up until they kick a ball. And fair play to those lads losing their minds in ...

So with three-team groups, and two teams out of each group going through, FIFA are going to need to do something to stop a Germany v Austria situation arising. The current four-team groups mean they can just have the final games for all group members kicking off at the same time, but this is obviou...

6ft Kerplunk Yeah nice one Jonah. You have remembered we're playing later, right?

Not been a 0-0 yet either

Are Birmingham the most northern side in the southern half of the draw? I would never remotely consider them a southern team but I suppose it just shows how many more northern teams there are in the football league. The champ alone is about 75% northern. Split in the draw was 15 Champ clubs in the ...

Only all Championship tie in the Southern half of the draw.

My understanding is that the Mbappe numbers are already factored in (part of the argument is that PSG wanted them to count from this summer but UEFA say they could from last summer) so it really is just €60M more. They also have to make up that €60M shortfall by June 30th this year so maybe they wi...

PSG just ordered to sell €60M of player more this summer than they sign (which they likely would have done anyway as they have a lot to offload) and they are good with FFP :? Well, clubs will now bid less for players than they would otherwise plus really hamstrings them on sales. If it is they have...

Tough start there for the new Arsenal manager. Man City at H followed by Chelsea away. Could easily be 0pts from 6 to start.
