Sir Steve Howard

People banging on about how good Kante was for us in an UNPOPULAR opinions thread. Sort it out ffs

It's meant to be unpopular so crack on. 15-16 has Robert Huth for a start. How anyone could say with a straight face they don't love that man is beyond me

Is 91-97 a typo? That's not a squad is it. From a quick glance the only 3 players present in 91-92 and 96-97 were Poole, Whitlow and Willis

Agreed unpopular. Please detail clubs who play with 2 up top these days

The home atmosphere during the title winning season was crap

Clearly not unpopular

Bologna is absolutely beautiful, my favourite Italian city, and I've done the vast majority outside of Sicily/Sardinia. Genoa a close second. Reggio Emilia stone dead last, dump.

Nothing in life is certain but I can say with absolute certainty the West Ham away end will be dog shit

This is 100% the best way to watch Leicester this season

That is 100% on Okoli, absolute donkey. Here's an idea, if your own player is stood in front of you, don't boot it straight at him!

Even by our standards that is going to be a diabolical away end. Good luck.

Also part of the appeal for me. Other American sports are losing viewers fast, regular season games nigh on meaningless. There is talk to chop another pre season game and move the regular season to 18

Could see this collapse coming a mile off, will lose by 40 runs here

Still a fair few left in the existing block, hopefully plenty of gaps in there

Villa/Lille have somehow wound up with the easiest Ro16 opponents by a mile, Atalanta toughest potential tie

It's true on the whole though. In theory the new format creates more 'big' games in the league phase as seed 1s play two other seed 1s, whereas previously they were all kept apart. These are effectively the two additional league games. In the knockouts it's almost the same as it was previously, just the additional play off round, plus being able to draw teams from same league is immediately on the cards.

Any final is possible at the moment unless you're 'paired' with a team. Liverpool cannot possibly meet Barca until the final. Same for Man City and Celtic (lol)

Hit it at a fair pace as well, mental

SL absolutely fvcking this

One of the weirdest things about the Aussie accent is pronunciation of debut. Josh Inglis with a century on test DAYBOO

Agreed to an extent but would you rather watch Zagreb v Bayern in Ro16 'KO playoffs' or Man City v Bayern? Have a look at the Bayern - Dinamo league phase game for reference

commentator's curse, great knock. Leicestershire Inglis on verge of century on debut as well

Leamington for me now, worst part of driving to games is not being able to drink.

This is probably why West Ham has almost sold out despite the wide variety of factors making it shit. London aways more accessible for a lot of our match going fans than home games.

Aus motoring, seems like Smith and Root always absolutely pile on the runs when away to SL
