The only vaguely interesting aspect which might come out of it is the squad rotation… obviously the “rule” about your best 11 is now ignored with managers resting players all over the place, and I’m sure that would cause an upset or two in certain individual games (I certainly can’t see Real Madrid failing to qualify, can you?)… of course, that could also come back and bite the TV ratings in the Arsenal when fans realize they’re watching in effect, reserve games…
Still, even us Spuds have to won some of these, right? 🙂

I’ll probably end up watching something tonight, but that’s only because I’ve got no other plans… 🙂

Stupid, Nil… (the format, not you! 😉 )
Read somewhere, that in order to qualify for the knock-out rounds, a team only needs 2 wins and 1 draw from their 8 games to 100% gaurantee going through… and it could even be less depending on results.
Of course, the higher up the table the “easier” your route through the knock-outs…but I really can’t see any neutral getting even remotely excited about games that don’t involve their own club.
The only exciting games will be the last round and involve the sides that are at risk of being knocked out… and they don’t happen until February or something…
More games, more money, happier beancounters in the backroom… that’s all it is.

Oddbert needs a run in the team in place of Johnson (having a mare start to the season!), and Solenko needs to get his first goal, get that monkey off his back… and Maddison needs a kick up the Arseanl too…

All have a pop at Spuds week, is it? 🙂
My opinion, as a Spuds fan, is results (as in points) should be a lot better than it is, but we aren’t playing that badly… we’re continually “beating” our opponents in just about every metric except the one that counts… and it isn’t Angie who’s doing the shooting…
The Goonie game, more possession, more shots, more passes, and arguably a red for Timber (yellow for the tackle and a yellow for squaring up to Vicario, who got a yellow?!?)… and two very good saves by Raya in the first 15 minutes… could have very easily been a different result…
Still losing, but not like the same way we’re losing under the Maureen/Conte years, when we would lose and sit at home thinking we deserved to lose that…

That was a good game… hopefully Cherries vs Jammy Dodgers is half as good.

Well, that was an annoying then amusing 350km drive home this afternoon… 🙂

Just saw the Rice red… I mean, he did kinda kick the ball away, but if I was in Buffy’s pants, I’d be fuming too…

2 points dropped and Rice misses the NLD… not the worst result!

If we can’t get two wins and a draw from that lot… not a lot else can be said.

Bugger, just discovered my nipper has a handball tournament this Sunday, rather amusingly called the “Cock’s Cup”…I just might have to pick a fight with her so I can ground her for using rude and colorful language… all I know is everytime we’re in the car listening, Spuds lose…

I’d take Chillwell on a loan with an option next year… that would give a bit of decent cover for Destiny I reckon…not sure who else I’d want who’s available…

Surprised at that too… I think Spuds were quoted at least double that before we went for Odd-job.
Anyway, 15 hrs to go… can see a few players left in limbo and training with the reserves for a few months at least.

The Jammy Todgers are going to be consistantly inconsistant this year, we all larffed when Nil reckoned they’d score 3 away at Wolves, and they go and score 6… they’ll probably lose the next one, at home, now… and I don’t even know who they’re playing… 🙂
They’ll outscore enough teams to finish top half of the table but that’s about it, I reckon.
