Dele Alli’s let himself down there showing the ref the middle finger

Lovely from Dier.

Taxi, what’s going on with the Dutch recently? They look like they’ll have trouble qualifying at this rate. Seems unthinkable to not have the sea of Orange at the World Cup

I’m convinced we’ll still win this but it’s not great to watch at all. I appreciate we don’t have the squad we had 10-15 years ago but there’s still some top PL players in that team who should be doing much, much better. What happens to Kane and Alli as soon as they put on England shirts? They’re not the only ones but I expect more from them because of how good they are for Spurs

Beating the Germans in the World Cup final. Even as a non-Spurs fan, I’d happily accept this set of events Chucky! It’s about time Kane replicated his club form for England.

He looks a really good player. It’ll be interesting to follow him this season for Leipzig. I’m looking forward to seeing him in the PL

Yeah I think Liverpool really suffered last season when Mane wasn’t available. Ox’s versatility will be a huge asset. Although I’ve never been convinced by him playing centrally, at least he’s comfortable there. As you say though, he provides much better back up for the likes of Mane than you’ve had previously.

With the amount of games the CL clubs have to play, I often wonder if there is such a thing as a first choice XI anymore. They’ll all get plenty of games I reckon.

NB, I really wanted to keep it ad-free while we try to get the numbers up. If the numbers continue to pick up, we may well start with some subtle ads but nothing which impacts on the usability of the site.

Jim, someone signed up last night and started trolling the site. Deleted all the posts now. Our first ever troll!

Oh I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for him Jim. It’s his wife and kids I have sympathy for. I appreciate they’re incredibly privileged too but nobody deserves treatment like that whilst pregnant with his child. As 999 suggests, it feels like he could easily go off the rails if he loses his family

Yeah gone for now Taxi. I’ll keep an eye on it though.

Incredible for France to not win that with all the talent in that young squad. That group is wide open still

JC, Nutts, Hightown, do you all only see Ox as a squad player rather than someone who will get straight in as a starter? I can’t see who he would replace but I’d be surprised if he’s turned down Arsenal and Chelsea for a place on Liverpool’s bench for a lower wage than either of them were offering

To me, it’s just another example of the lack of professionalism which prevented, arguably, the most talented English player for a generation from reaching the heights his early promise hinted he was capable of.

I’m not suggesting he was unprofessional throughout his career but these incidents which have cropped up at various times during his career indicate he lacked that extra bit of application and maturity which makes great players outstanding ones.

Interesting picture that Paxton!

I don’t have a problem with clubs spending as they please. I just look forward to watching this all unfold. I’m not a fan of FFP but I’m even less of a fan of a form of FFP that is easily bypassed with clever accountants. It just makes a mockery of the whole thing.

999’s probably right in the sense that the most likely outcome of this is that Uefa find a way to close that loophole. I don’t really see the point in that though. If a club wants to find a loophole badly enough, I’m convinced they’ll always be able to. It’ll just turn into a real life version of one of those fairground games where you go to hit the mole and before you know it, another one pops up and you’re constantly trying to whack them as they pop up over the board.

Chucky, no I don’t think that’s the case. As I understand it, player sales (however the actual fee is structured) are accounted for fully in the year they’re sold. If that’s the case, you could buy a £100mil player over a 5 year contract and fund it by selling players for £20mil each year over the next 5 years. Don’t quote me on that though!

9, it would seem crazy that Uefa hadn’t accounted for that type of an attempt at getting around the rules. It seems like such an obvious thing to do.

I’m no finance expert but, assuming Mbappe signs next summer for a similar fee which, for arguments sake, works out at another £40mil per year over his contract. That would be £80mil a year for the two. They’ve done well to sell for £50mil this season but how sustainable is it to expect to sell for £70mil/£80mil each season?

Nb, I have noticed that before yes. Although, as far as I can see, it only “appears” to assign the vote to the wrong person initially. If you refresh the page, I’m pretty sure it then shows on the correct post. Slightly frustrating but not in urgent need of a fix. Let me know if that doesn’t appear to be the case for you!

I actually fell asleep watching that yesterday! Decent result in the end though. Should see us top the group

I agree @Mikus. Liverpool’s window wasn’t bad at all. I think it was a wise move to tie down Keita for next year rather than go for a less fancied option who could have made the move straight away. I said on another thread that I think Ox will be decent for your lot.

As you say, Liverpool are much better placed now to cover for any loss to the likes of Coutinho or Mane etc. I also think Solanke will prove to be a good buy. It will be interesting to see now if Ox kicks on in his development which seems to have stalled somewhat. The pace in that Liverpool team will frighten any backline they come up against.

Really looking forward to City vs Liverpool after the International break

Decent window for Utd. Wasn’t expecting anything yesterday so wasn’t left disappointed. I think Lukaku is actually a more suitable striker for us than Zlatan. He’s much more mobile and will cause defences all sorts of problems. Zlatan coming back will be like a new signing too. Matic, whilst not extraordinary, will help our more creative, forward thinking, midfielders express themselves without the pressure of having to worry as much about going the other way. Lindelof looks decent but way too early to say with him really. All in all, I’d give us 7/10.
