@nessisonett Huge win for Scotland!

@JohnnyShoulder I so wish I was there, that’s the loudest I’ve seen Hampden. At least Ally McCoist was on commentary to say what we’re all thinking and show actual true passion!

What a second half from Scotland!!

Absolutely dreadful showing from the Hungary fans at the England match tonight. You wonder what can even be done because they ban them for a few games and nothing changes. You can’t shout racist stuff at the stewards and then try to batter them at a football match.

A quality finish in the Lincoln vs Charlton match today…

I never used to pay much attention to the group stages in the Champers League as I found them to be quite dull affairs mostly. But some games this week have been quality and really entertaining to watch.

This game is hilarious at this point.

@Iver Who do they get in if Ole goes? And where does he go afterwards? No team in the top half would take him, surely.

@JohnnyShoulder I’d be happy with a straight trade. Ole for Steven Gerrard 😂

@nessisonett The day that happens, the world has officially ended.

@Iver Not sure if Pogba has anything to with the 4 goals conceded before he came on...

I was at OT yesterday. It was as depressing/hilarious as you think it was. Little fights breaking out all over between people leaving and the people having a go at the people leaving for leaving.

Ole will stay for now. So will world cup wining Paul Pogba.

I knew Gerrard would go down south!

@nessisonett

It was inevitable, I think he's getting all the experience he needs so that he can succeed Klopp eventually. I think Gerrard will do well at Aston Villa. As a Newcastle supporter, I wouldn't have mind if Gerrard was appointed as the new gaffer instead of Eddie Howe.

@N1ghtW1ng Look on the bright side, at least this way Eddie Howe won’t be linked with every single vacant job going!

@nessisonett

I'm totally happy with Howe's appointment to be honest. I think I have read in the book Soccernomics that, of players who become managers, a statistically significant number of successful managers were midfielders during their playing days. Looking at Gerrard and Vieira as examples, that seems to reinforce this claim.

@nessisonett Until he gets sacked if/when they want a bigger name. Obviously not wishing that on anyone and I think that is a good appointment, but only in the short term.

I can can see the Newcastle situation be very similar to Everton, where they chuck loads of money around and still not much better off.

FM22 is out. There goes my life.

@nessisonett Important goal for the Scots!

@JohnnyShoulder I was convinced that we’d end up drawing against Moldova and needing a result against Denmark, as that’s usually the way of things 😂
