    Our summer window was:

    A £40m left winger who’s injured for four months

    A £60m centre mid who’s addicted to fourteen leg accas

    Two £40m and £30m fullbacks who never play

    Dan Ashworth masterclass

    2 teams at the same time can be one of the best of all time. It’s not a direct comparison but look at Barca and Madrid during the 2010’s for example. They were a very influential team in football history, just like Sacchi’s Milan.

    I assumed Scotland games would be on TV like England’s games are, I’ve never even heard of Viaplay before.

    So even having all of the other services to watch football you would still need to pay Viaplay £15 to watch a Scotland game?

    Oh absolutely gambling is old style it’s been around for ever. What’s changed now is gambling companies are much smarter and know how to target individuals and how to do so. Betting companies actively seek out and target people they can exploit to get hooked so much more now and it’s hard to escape it.

      It’s just that you’re applying pre-draw, so no one knows yet who those teams will be, just that it will be the top-seeded team from group E and whoever ends up as E2. The upside is that it’s easier to get tickets that way.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but Liverpool early kickoff results before is bad right? Is that why most Liverpool fans don’t like it?

    Maybe allocate more minutes for teams in comps, or limited to just the league rather than cup comps too.

    Oof that’s bad. Your whole midfield died, and only one fit attacker. In hindsight Fati should have been kept around because this would be his chance

    I’m not bitter or anything but the way goalkeepers are protected is a joke. They get away with so much and get fouls called in their favour for absolutely everything.

    Encouraging performance, but fucks sake man that’s a game we should be winning. Lorenzo set us up well but not great in game management. We needed to slow that down after people started gassing and we already had a lead

    Eh, “presumably from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting the

    Did remind me of a spectacular dumb post I saw in a different sub celebrating the Spanish WWC win over England because the (very American) poster didn’t want to see a nation of colonisers win 😂🤷‍♂️
