Just imagine if we had gotten 3 points off Armenia and even scraped a draw in the first Ukraine game. Would have been a brilliant go at it.

Two fantastic performances in a row from Ireland.

100%

The previous 2 results really scuppered us though. The table doesn't paint a great picture. Is it the runner up that gets a playoff?

And England... Jaysus what's going on there.

I just wish they'd waited until the World Cup itself to show this form.

Usually they flatter to deceive in the qualifiers and it all go tits up in the tournament proper. Maybe it's going the other way now...

The story is the usual silly season crap but the video of Hazard's top 5 Chelsea goals on the page is something else.

As for Lukaku, good riddance. I called it when they bought him. He's a fucking donkey.

Anyone else enjoying Madrid and their La Liga puppets absolutely losing their shit over Mbappe?

They are not used to rejection.

In just under ninety minutes, Old Trafford will officially be clear of the Pogbavrius.

Longest hour and a half of my life.

Wonder how sterling will fit in at Chelsea? Never could stand him but I suppose I'll start saying he's great soon. Koulibaly looks like a good signing for them too but I think the table will look the same at the top as last year when it comes down to it with arsenal Tottenham Chelsea United vying for the 3rd and 4th. I think Liverpool will struggle to overtake City but if anyone will it'll be them. All very early but I don't see anyone making that one signing to really change things. Erikssen should do well at United but they need a real striker to go with him. City will be fearsome with Haaland too.

Won't be long now anyway

Another Brian Clough story from Mark Crossley. Fuckin' brilliant

Chelsea looking to sign Kounde and Kimpembe after having Koulibaly.

The KKK

I wonder who's getting sacked in the morning?

[Ollkiller]

Yehoo. Brilliant result. Delighted for Ten Hag, totally justified benching the walking bin truck and Ronaldo.

[Emphyrio]

Liverpool second best all over the pitch. Forgot what it was like to be on the other side of the banter. Cunts.

United were bound to have a reaction to their first two games. I had predicted a draw, thought they'd both be cagey. At least it wasn't Leeds flogging Chelsea level of bad but Liverpool did appear to be missing something I couldn't quite put my finger on.. oh wait, it was Van Dijk, that's what was missing.
