Embarrassing.

I'll take a look at that as i was wondering myself. I would have thought the BT / Sky money would eclipse PPV.

Who the hell started this topic......i was hoping to forget all about last night, despite drinking till my head span

Who the hell are Lincoln Red Imps - related to Lincoln City????

Now that's a shame and about £35m down the swanny

Yes, i'd go along with that, but when does Uefa ever think of either the fans, or the schedules of the teams - I'ts all about it's own prestige.

Not sure the Europa was that bad. Yes the location was awful, but there were 5 goals, 2 good goals by Hazard and Iwobi, a penalty and some good saves. There have been plenty of boring 0-0 Europa/Uefa cup finals.

Thanks guys, i'll enjoy being a 15 year old for a while

Prefer the old way. The euphoric moment of scoring a goal is what it's always been about - now you are always looking at the ref in case he signals to VAR.

Fantastic, last season that would have been a struggle. It shows the improvement in general possession play and forward intent. I only know one Hibs fan now down here and he's gone off radar . Wonder why!!!

That was a strange game, more possession, more shots and on target, more corners than Utd and we still lose 4-0. Frank needs Kante on from the start and Pulisic as well as Hudson Odoi, Rudiger and Willian fit. I still think that with a full squad that Chelsea will be in the shout for 4th with Utd and Arsenal. Any takers??????

Thanks, yes, the Youth team etc, i've noticed some people with youth team with hundreds of likes and circa 3k posts, just wondered if they were arbitrarily awarded !! I'm not even sre what "S" form means

Being a fairly new member, is there anywhere on the site that explains the ranking system? I've had a look but couldn't find anything. Thanks

Some great names suggested, i'd go with 1. Clough. 2. Shankly. 3. Ferguson 4. Paisley. 5. Busby. Have selected 1 and 2 as they created fantastic teams with minimal funds.

From that clip it looks as though Kolašinac did all the fighting off and Ozil just started to drive away lol

Yes Derby were a good ball playing possession side under Lampard and there's no reason to suspect they will be changing styles under Cocu. Will be a good test.

Good team and an opportunity for some to stake a claim for a starting place come August. Certainly enough to see off St Josephs well.

Haven't the Geordies suffered enough??

Fair shout, but wouldn't call Next to Gap a relegation - maybe standing still for a mo. £ for £ I think Chelsea have still outspent West ham with £60m Pulisic coming in, plus 4 of the loan players back in the 1st team squad being valued at over £100m, Batshuayi, Van Ginkel, Bakayoko, and Zuma, plus the signing of Kovacic from Real. West Ham won't trouble the top 6 IMHO.

Happy with Next!!

Oi Oi

Love the analogy. In that vein who would Chelsea be? I'm having Tottenham as CurrysPCWorld - Quality white goods, but always fuck up the delivery and West Ham as Poundland.

I agree, I look at this side and it matches up well against the other lot across town. It's just the reliance on Defoe that worries me. I would bring in another forward to lead the line with Defoe as back up.

I think Dick Emery at Arsenal will prove to be a dud also.... so will be a 3 way battle!

That's a big call placing West Ham above Chelsea or Man Utd - what is driving your optimism?
