    He shouldn't be allowed to field 352. No wonder they won.

    Pep can shove his tiki taka up his arse; route one, flick on by Lukaku 1-0 and 3 points but I doubt Jurgen was even watching. Klavan starts so fill your boots Huddersfield.

    That Man U goal – I really have a soft spot for those kind of goals. Simple and effective, hard to defend against.

    Serves me right. Put Ramsey as my fantasy captain on the basis that Arsenal are flat track bullies against crap teams at home. Should've realised that they are able to stoop to even more pitiful lows than Liverpool.

    I have 10 points total right now. Came close to captaining Salah as well. I see a brutal point hit in the horizon...

    England have won the U-17 World Cup !!!!!

    They were 2-0 down against Spain and came back after half time to win 5-2 !!!

    The U-20 won the World Cup earlier ,and the U-19 won the Euros .
    The women's team and the U-21 got to their finals as well.


    We MUST MUST MUST put these players into the squads and play them in the PL.
    Get rid of some of the over-priced ,over-rated foreigners and go English !!!


    I'm a very very proud Englishman today.

    Congrats to the U - 17's it's been a good year for the youth sides, though it has to be capitalised on which in the current climate will be difficult.

    My team Wigan is doing pretty well at the moment! 0-0 yesterday though, really should've won.

    My Fantasy-team screams 'NO!!!' to a Vardy goal. I'm having a real bad GW, in other words.

    Leicester look decent, I wonder if Everton are regretting taking Rooney back

    Rooney is their only decent player,he is at least showing hard work and good passing,the rest are terrible.

    Tragic to see the Toffees 'we're going to be in the shake up for the CL places' delusions laid bare so brutally early in the season. Still I'm almost certain David Unsworth is the solution.

    It's a nice crumb of comfort as our season just about clings onto the precipice.

    PS - What are they wearing? White shirts and grey shorts - who thought that was a winner? It's well known from Fergie's excuses handbook that wearing grey is suicide.
