Watching the champions league highlights. Think they'll be a lot of high scoring games in the group stage. Celtic looked comfortable but their defence is shaky. Gutted. Dundalk won't make it through would have been nice to see an Irish side in the group stage. That penalty decision was terrible. City won comfortable and with the money they spend they should have. In the other games roma look like having a good chance of qualifying after a 1-1 away to Porto. Looking forward to the seethe from some football fans if a red bull team makes it to the champions league aswell!

The midlands is becoming mini Beijing that's wolves villa and WBA all bought over by Chinese investors. Spurs are my favourite to win the league I just don't fancy the other teams feel they are all still rebuilding would go: 1.spurs 2. City 3.arsenal 4. Utd 18. Swansea 19. Middlesbrough 20. Hull.

Number of passes made stat really annoys means virtually nothing! I don't think Marko will stay. Guy has talent but think he moved to pool to quickly. Yeah I did had to watch it 5x before I believed u could concede a goal like that in professional football.

http://futbolgrad.com/lazar-markovic-another-chance-another-departure/ Good article on markovic for the pool fans. Don't worry klopp is mentioned so you'll get ur fix .

Is conte definitely making the transfer decisions? Going back for lukaku is odd after his euros

Think they got bought over this year. If ur looking for leagues to make prediction on there's the Turkish league that's a 3 horse race!

I dunno what's more ridiculous stones going for 50m or pogba for 100m. Probably stones but it's close.

Yeah he's good off the bench. His main problem is he doesn't really have position. You can play on the wing but u sacrifice width as u drifts and he's not a striker than can play on his own.

Bruce is the favourite with the bookies but can't see them taking him back after he was rubbish the first time around. He'll probably sit out a year and end up at WBA when they finally get sick of pulis' 'brand' of football.

Not sure seems like the budget might not be as high as he wanted but think a big part will be him having his head turned by the England job. Don't see what's next for him as hull is probably about his level and he was guaranteed not to get sacked barring a complete collapse. The Norwich city keepers jersey isn't too bad. The players kit looks like someone spilt an egg and cress sandwich all over themselves.

Steve Bruce has resigned from Hull. Slightly baffling if they don't get bought over this season.

Hearts about to go out of Europe to a Maltese team. More embrassing than celtic result. Kitchen wasn't playing currently injured!

More Scottish teams in Europe tonight see who else can be a disappointment Got Malta and Latvia! Season also starts on Saturday with the new league cup that has group stages now.

Is jamie carragher not the record goal scorer against Liverpool?( please note I know this stat is difference and in no way comparing the two CBs)

It is odd rooting for the old firm in Europe but it's a necessary evil. So far, with Aberdeen losing to a Luxembourg team, motherwell have had the most success in Europe by giving the Iceland team their clap!

Just needs to play some football manager there's loads of good stock press conference answers in there!

Pretty mixed. As GHH it's is pretty funny and will be used to take the piss out of celtic fans(celtic have always been terrible away in Europe but this is a new low) but i think they'll beat them pretty easily at home so te result won't make much of a difference. Also need scottish teams to do well in Europe to raise the coefficient making it easier for us to get into Europe!Rodgers post match quotes are mind boggling though u think by now he'd have a rough idea on how to handle the press!

Germany have enough number 10s to create something but no one to finish!

France still look the more likely to score. Hopefully they hang on. Portugal France will be a much more entertaining final.

I know their centre backs need protecting but sitting so deep is just inviting pressure. I don't understand Girouds role if they are going to play like this though. He is coming too deep to be an out ball when France win it and he isn't quick enough to close players down when he does drop deep.

France need to stop sitting so deep!they are lucky Germany have no out and out strikers on the pitch. Would look to take sissoko and matuidi off. Bring on Coman and kante.

Yeah lot of teams at this tournament that have one good attacking player and pack the midfield hoping the attacking player does something. As u said South America are producing the strikers. Europe is producing the number 10s.

If it wasn't evident by my other posts I know nothing about football. Well done norn Ireland.

Got to think Daniel starts the next game his pace and off the ball movement offer much more than Kane upfront. Think Ukraine get a comfortable win against norn Ireland. They offered very little in their last game.
