Have to agree with 999. I have always preferred to win the PL than the CL – well ever since we’ve been in both competitions. That preference still stands but I must admit gap is reducing.
I remember speaking to a United pal of mine before they’d won the treble in 1999 – I asked him which of the two, CL and Pl, would he rather win and he said the PL every time. how about you Mav?

Not sure we’ll miss KDB as much as some are saying. Yes, he’s world class but we’re now in a much stronger position, squad-wise, than we’ve ever been. I’m not as concerned as I have been in the past when we lost the likes of Yaya and Aguero for any length of time. KDB didn’t start against either Chelsea or Arsenal and we won both those fairly comfortably. We weren’t great against Arsenal but I feel that was due to a bit of ‘rustiness’. Time will tell.
Must say, great post by Sean yesterday @ 8:40pm.

Jim, go to Fantasy Premier League, log in, create a team name, pick a squad of 15 players with a max value of £100m – 2 keepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 strikers. Then click on ‘Create and join leagues’ (down right hand side), click on ‘Join a league’ then ‘Join private league’ and input code ‘2287349-882610’. Then you can choose your team for the next round of fixtures.

A bit rusty all over the park. Just thankful Arsenal were more rusty than we were.
Got to be happy though, three points away at Arsenal – they’ll be a tougher proposition in a couple of months time. Still got De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, Komps and Ottamendi to get up to speed.

Nine – you could have had Bravo for about half that 🙂

Three most expensive, Nine. Or four of the five most expensive.
£72m for an untried keeper though……………………………..wtf?

I take it that should read Aguero, Sean?

Wonderful performance from everyone and the great collectiveness produced a solid and composed team effort – that’s what wins tournament matches. It’s now all European and don’t forget Denmark and Greece have won the Euro’s – both having a tremendous work ethic and team spirit.
I have never felt so devastated after a football match as I was after losing to Germany in 1990. Don’t waste this opportunity lads and don’t let me feel like that again.
Go Three Lions.

Thoroughly deserved – dirty Colombian bastards – better team for at least three quarters of the tie. They were really only in it for last 10 mins of normal time and first half of extra time. Apart from that, I thought we controlled the game really well and couldn’t see them equalising.
Anyway, we’re through – Swedes up next.
C’mon England.

Can anyone explain to me why that’s not a red card (for the penalty) – denied an absolute clear goal scoring opportunity?

Ha ha ha krauts out – brilliant.
Neymar thinks that every slight contact on him is a foul – cheating t**t.

Yeah Jim, even Iran showed plenty tonight, not just defensively but also when they eventually decided to get forward.
Regarding the more fancied teams, none have really impressed. I would say though that France look the most solid – good defence, very strong midfield and numerous options up front.

Can’t disagree Adlab. Certainly one of the best WCs I can remember. At this stage any one of about 12 teams could win it.

“And just watched the best season of football”
Whatever makes you think that? 🙂

Totally agree about VAR Jim – good idea and in the vast majority of referrals the correct decision is made. Atm though it’s far too subjective and the refs seem afraid to stick with their original decision if asked by the VAR ref to review. Don’t think I’ve seen a ref stick to his original decision in the WC yet.

No mate, North Stand but tier 2, block 234. Thought we’d have to move next season as son is now 22 but been told we’re ok at least for another season.
Aren’t you tier 2 as well?

Yeah Jim. I watched the Portugal/Iran game coz of the cash I had riding on it – would have almost paid for my ST.
You’ll probably see it later but cross came in and Iran player jumped with Cedric – Iran player just won the header but not cleanly and it fell on to Cedric’s arm (from no more than 2 feet away) – ref didn’t give it at first but obviously got call to review and hence changed his mind. Never a penalty.
The air was BLUE in our house – even the wife called him a “stupid person” – don’t think the dog’s heard anything like all it’s life 🙂

That thick Paraguayan twat of a referee just cost me £550 for awarding that ‘penalty’.
