    Maguire and Evans by default make us defend de pear which may inadvertently help us.

    This is one of the worst football games I have watched, sack TH based on his signings utter mediocre.

    Missed the PL action today. From highlights though, things can't be looking good for ten Hag…

    Apparently there is a big meeting tomorrow, looks like he may keep his job, to be honest I have had enough I cannot see things improving at all.

    My GW was average, captain fail.

    VAR fails again ?
    Match Officials Mic'd Up: PGMOL chief Howard Webb believes VAR should have overturned Bruno Fernandes' red card vs Tottenham

    It is ridiculous as bad as United were with 11 men in the second half they should have at least been given the opportunity with 11. Personally I still think we would have lost.

    They do feel like an inconvenience if they are not WC or Euro qualifiers.

    Haven't read any news yet. I guess if his job was on the line, we'd heard more by now?

    They really need to step up the work with VAR if it should have a future in PL. The work the refs are doing right now is just ridiculously bad.

    Meanwhile the clubs are holding their breath hoping for no more injuries…

    That's really sad. He was a solid player at Sheffield United.

    I had no idea he had Greek ancestry. I can't remember that fact ever being mentioned in PL coverage when Sheffield United played in the Prem.

    While we're all waiting for the international break to end, let's have a quick look at gamwweek 7. This was a challenging gameweek with a gameweek average score of just 46. This was reflected in the gameweek scores in our league too, but 10 teams managed to outscore the overall average. Well done! Best of us all though, was Mejico POWA, scoring 67 points. Congratulations! =D>

    Gameweek winners
    GW 1: Liverpool Richmond
    GW 2: Red Warriors
    GW 3: CSAC
    GW 4: Dominics so Lanky !
    GW 5: Red Warriors, Dominics so Lanky ! & ????
    GW 6: LVLA Skopje 05
    GW 7: Mejico POWA
    ____________

    There's no PL action this weekend due to the international break, but make sure to keep an eye out for news when we move closer to the next deadline, Saturday 19 October at 11:00 (UK time)!

    Maybe the "chief" Howard Webb should get in the VAR booth as the "buffoons" in there are incompetent and should be sacked and replaced by people who can do the job properly.

    The way Webb constantly finds excuses for situations where the referees show clear weaknesses makes me believe that we are far from a solution on how VAR is being used in the Premier League. Unfortunately…

    I definitely agree! At least the international break gives me more time to watch a few more TV series and films.

    Read through previous replys, this break has been a nightmare injury wise for most clubs.

    There are a few shows I need to catch up on though my attention span recently is mixed with TV, I give up way to easy o episodes.

    Pep according to reports is England's number 1 choice for next manager...

    p.s. England were awful vs Greece, amateur hour.

    Tuchel is supposed to be the favorite with the bookies ?

    I saw that earlier, not sure how well that will be received by England fans personally I would take him at United.

    I would keep Carsely for longer until next summer and try to get Pep if he decides to leave City.

    Finland v England about to start, better balance in midfield and Kane returns.

    Really hope Saka's injury isn't bad. Arsenal are not themselves without Ødegaard; missing Saka on top of that would be tough…

    60 mins played, and Norway are now down 3-1 away against Austria.

    And it's 5-1. The media really played up Norway's chances after their performance against Slovenia. This is a reality check.

    Tuchel has got the England job according to Romano, it appears with immediate effect...

    Norway not good enough creatively and defensively? I bet Odegard is a huge loss.

    It will be very interesting to see how Tuchel does in the job.

    I nearly panicked then i thought t it was Pedro Porro whom i have just transferred in lol

    My team had 4 players out or doubts but only made the one transfer.

    It is a shame we did not have Tuchel in the summer we may have won the Euro's. the World Cup over in the either north or south America is a big ask for any European country, I don't expect us to win it..

    They got enough fire power, but they miss a few crucial pieces to the puzzle, with Ødegaard being one of them. They definitely need a new manager though…

    Really not sure what to do with my team… Will need the last 50 mins until the deadline to decide.

    I wonder if the English FA have seen this Tuchel "tactic" ?
