Can't believe I got rid of him  on the wildcard this week

Can't believe I got rid of him  on the wildcard this week

I'd have thought he was a definite pick but then I don't have Haaland and I am at the bottom of every fantasy league I'm in and I've followed chelsea for over 30 years

[Thorn]

Just Hard to fit him in at the price when you need Haaland and Saka with their good fixtures. Today was painful but yeah, he's some player.

[astfgyl]

His free kick today was outstanding

[Thorn]

Yup, jaw dropping even. And still painful.

What a performance by Villa last night. I thought they might have been overwhelmed by Bayern Munich but they stuck to their plan and kept their nerve. Duran's goal was top class. Emery has to be thinking about starting him ahead of Watkins.

My 6 year old has started watching the Arsenal matches with me. After the win against Leicester she proudly declared she's asking Santa for a jersey, I think this is great, she's finally come around!

Start looking them up and it's 60-70 for a kids shirt, over 100 if you want to add in shorts. I knew the adult prices had got out of hand, but I thought a child's version would be a bit more fucking reasonable

So which of you patriots did the Greece /Ireland double and where are ye drinking?

2 games to go


Please Shels, please don't break my heart

Seen the Shamrock Rovers fans dancing in Windsor Park - nearly as mental as loyalists and republicans marching together against immigrants 🫣

Women's soccer is never going to be great unless something is done about the keepers. They are fucking shocking

[Trev]

Plenty of utter shite keepers in the men's game. Think the big problem is the insistence on having the same size goals, they need to be smaller. Men are going to be taller and quicker so better able to handle the larger size

No excuse on that video though, fucking shocking 

[astfgyl]

I think the outfield players are doing great and are a decent watch but the keepers are just so fucking bad. I don't understand what it is either I really don't

[Caomhaoin]

In fairness, the women's game has come along leaps and bounds. Nevertheless I wish BBC (surprise surprise) would stop clogging up the news feed with as if it has anywhere near the same appeal as the mens.
