@BearsEatBeets Time for him to perhaps go back into my fantasy team 👀

@nessisonett I’ll wait a bit longer to see if he sustains it, he’s soo expensive.
Maybe Klopp needs to bench him a bit more often to spur him on.

Cheeky little assist by Firmino for the third goal.

Just hope we can keep Man City down to the one hat trick on Sunday lol.

Any reason that all the prem games kick-off at 2pm today apart from a city/Liverpool which starts pretty much straight after?
El Classico is at 3:15pm as well.
Did I miss a memo?

@Fight_Teza_Fight That is a bit strange, as there is usually at least one game at around midday.

Looks like Trent could go to the World Cup after all with James and Walker both potentially ruled out. I really hope Southgate doesn't pick his favourites even if they are not fit. That really does my head in when it comes to tournament football, even if they have recovered from the injury they will not be match fit.

@JohnnyShoulder I could see quite a few players from most countries missing out through injury. With it being mid-season, it’s practically asking for injury problems.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I'm fairly certain 2 and 4:30 have been the standard kick-off times for Sundays for quite a long time. I think there are only sometimes midday games if there are extra games on a Sunday.

@JudgeDredd I think TAA could be very handy in a midfield role. @JohnnyShoulder I read Walker hopes to be fit in time but that could be wishful thinking maybe. Totally agree about taking not taking players that aren't fit and in form, we've done it too often.

@JohnnyShoulder That’s what I thought. Maybe they were trying to undercut the Classico but that makes no sense.
@nessisonett That’s why I’m not seriously worrying about league positions & CL right now. Who knows what’s going to happen. Players are going to be fatigued & will come back injured. Haaland not going to the WC & injuries forbid might be the reason City win the CL (hope not🤞🏾).
@JudgeDredd Absolutely agree. He’s mediocre at defending, but he’s too good offensively. Even if he isn’t starting you always want that ‘X factor’.
@BearsEatBeets Really? I’ve had a routine going the last few weeks where I’d have the games on one after the other while gaming. The timing is a bit silly though watching United, changing to Classico & then catch city Liverpool part way through.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Well, maybe midday games aren't as rare as I thought (I didn't really check) but 2 and 4:30 are the norm for Sky's Super Sundays. Unfortunately, I don't think they take other leagues into much consideration for scheduling.

Well that was one hell of a match. Can’t believe it was only 1-0 to be honest.

Joe Gomez really stepped up his game today, great performance. And to think Salah almost went off shortly before scoring .

Just a normal first Celtic match with VAR.

im wanting to get rid of sky sports as i miss too many games. anyone recommend a decent stream site?

Liverpool were poor, think will target CL now. tho i wish Klopp would have praised forest more

Is it ironic that Wrexham banning Paul Mullin wearing boots with a political slogan made the news and caused many people, including myself, to search for what the slogan was that was banned - meaning way more people have now seen them than would have it they hadn't banned them?
...or was that the point?

@sorteddan Streisand Effect! Paul Mullin’s a legend though, he was proper brilliant for me in Football Manager 😂

Wow Barcelona dumped out of the Champers League last night. Looks like they need to pull some more levers lol.

@JohnnyShoulder Now I feel slightly better about us being put out too. And at least we didn’t get completely humbled like Rangers have been!

3 of the 4 spanish teams out.

@kairu what do you make of Conte? spurs are so boring and negative to watch, starting with 7/8 defensive players, changing defenders when chasing the game. imo the PL has moved on from Conte tactics.

@kairu glad you happy, but i genuinely dont think you will win a trophy this year. struggling against any half decent team. would need some huge improvement

@Kairu If Rangers do end up with the worst record in CL history then we’re not letting that go 😂
