From what I've read, I think it's a mistake to factor in the club president's astrological star sign, into the CL team grouping process... :)

Er, oh, the Nations League internationals are back (Saturday).

The men of England managed by a man of Ireland will play the men of Ireland managed by a man of Iceland.

It will be a sensational occasion.

Seeing how Leicester nuanced their way out of football's financial rules means there's no way Citeh won't be able to do the same.

Football must die (and also have no offside decisions!)

Carsley should do a Daley Thompson, and whistle the anthem, as a compromise. :D

Carsley should do a Daley Thompson, and ferociously waggle his joystick for the duration of the anthem.

I couldn't be bothered to watch last night's match. Has Kane regained the ability to run, sorry, I mean, jog?
