Aus Fox

Only worry is another booking today - 6 already and could easily be looking at a two match ban before Christmas the way he is going.

Interesting line up…

Uruguay beat the USA in the final of the Americas qualifying competition. The USA then got beat to qualifying by Portugal in the best runners up type qualifier.

Can’t wait for the calls to replay this game 🤦‍♂️

Interestingly Jack Grealish beat season in the Championship got him 6 goals and 6 assists. James Maddison got 14 goals and 8 assists in his last season at Norwich. KDH is already on 5 goals 3 assists, he could easily surpass both of these this season the way he is going.

Southampton slowly creeping back into the mix, now level on points with 4th place. Couple of decent results for them this week. Ultimately I think inconsistency will stop them from challenging top 2.

Our captain ladies and gentlemen… I hate booing and giving grief to former players, but I think for Evans I’d make an exception.

The bench we had on Sunday was ridiculous at this level - in January add Braybrooke, Alves, Preat and Doyle coming back in - I think January will be more about the outs than anyone coming in.

I reckon we need a new one for Ndidi I was thinking is this the way to Amarillo. Is this really wilfred Ndidi passing, scoring and creating chances Is this really Wilfred Ndidi … Some better lyricist can surely finish this off and make a decent song out of it

100% they have, where there’s huge sums of money at stake, there’s corruption. Billionaire owners, billions every weekend globally in betting revenue, there’s no way a refeeee hasn’t been paid off or offered money to be aid off at some point. The weird bets you can place make this easier too, over 3.5 yellow cards, a penalty to be awarded in this game, they make it easier to fix without directly affecting a match result.

Hopefully, someone on here is old enough to get the joke… 😂

Hope we can keep hold of her and she doesn’t get a big move to a top Italian club like Barcelona.

Interesting decision for the manager to make next week, Coady will come in for him midweek against Preston. Then against Stoke when Vestergaard is available again big call to be made - on Merit Vestergaard and Faes have been excellent and don’t deserve to be dropped, however a fully fit Coady is amongst the first names on the team sheet for me.

I think you overestimate the media in general. So much of what’s called news today is not verified before going to air/print… the old saying don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story has never been more true. I personally have no idea if it’s real or fake, but I wouldn’t use the fact a media organisation is using it to prove its real. If the guys are saying they were not even at the game, that should be pretty easy to prove either way.

3 goals in his last 4 games. The man is on fire at the minute!

Games coming thick and fast, keep everyone fresh and make changes all the time.

That bench is ridiculous in the Championship - you could drop two random U21s into it and it would be challenging at the top end.

Nice 10:00pm Sunday evening start over here. I’ll be up!

To be fair, since 1997 how many times have we played there? 5? Can’t be many more than that, we never seem to be in the same division as them.

Leeds have got to be the most overrated side in this division. They keep a clean sheet against Watford and Sheff Wed and all of a sudden they’ve sorted their defensive line out and are challengers. They’ve got a couple of decent attacking players, who when they fire will get them goals in this division, but honestly in the three games I’ve seen them play this season (small sample size I know) I’d be surprised if they make top 6, let alone challenge for an automatic place.

I was thinking Derby v Portsmouth, completely forgot about Bolton being down there too.

Of the Pre 1992 winners, there has already been a game outside the top 2 divisions this season. For a bonus point can anyone name the fixture.

I actually think Tielemans looks completely burnt out, he’s only 26 but has played close to 500 professional games - More games than Andy King for example who is nearly 10 years older than he is. I think that’s what we started to see last season, almost like a 35 year old coming to the end - we know he can be quality, and he had is moments of brilliance - but the body just isn’t performing.

Liverpool line up:
