don't understimate Argentina, they've gotten better with ever game and have beaten NZ recently.

Ireland choke again. They really really have someking of mental block in the WC. Todays game was always going to be tough even against argualbly the worst NZ team at a WC (it is still pretty good though) The game was probably a 60:40 in their favour but its incredible given the quality of their side of the years they've never made it past the QF

yes they are

Kovacic is a fucking massive downgrade from Gungodan

The squad is better & younger than last season but we still have the same defenders making the same piss poor mistakes time & time again. Nothing will change until we overhaul the defence and stop the lethergy. BTW Arsenal are much better than us

We aren't as good as we think we are though. We've still not managed to put a decent 90 minute performance together this season

Despite us leading at HT we got away with a point there. Terrible performance I think its safe to say top 4 will be the limit of our league ambitions this season. Still lots wrong with the team & balance. Defensively far too many individual errors

Not sure I'd be starting Elliott. Midfield looks leightweight and very open to the counter

I semi jest As much as it pains me to say but Ireland have a England 2003 vibe about them. It going to be two epic QF games though in that half of the draw. Standard in the other half of the draw is fucking rubbish

Lets hope NZ stuff the Irish

did we win?

When you have the government intervening to allow PIF to buy Newcastle you know that the system is corrupt and money overrules everything

so potentially PL officials could be being paid by Man City owners for an exhibition match. No conflict of interest there no sir.

where abouts? I'm guessing they were paid so if its UAE or Saudi then they will have been indirectly paid by the owners of either Man City or Newcastle. That's not dodgy at all

He probably didn't see those perfromance enhancing drugs he took as a player either

I'm still so fucking fuming about today I've had to bite my tongue and not post my real thoughts. Disgusted & proud but I'm very very very nearly completely and utterly done with football. Its corrupt to the fucking core

That Dale Johson is a grade A ref apologist cunt

The promoted teams are fucking shite. Needs reducing to 2 automatic and maybe have the playoff winners play 3rd bottom in the PL.

Bears absolutely woeful again That Miami v Denver score is mental. Miami on fire early in the season along with 49ers but Denver complete mess.

Wales were good but fucking hell the Aussies were atrocious. Not suprising giving who coaches them. It should be his last job in rugby the poisonous little twat. Although its by far the poorer side of the drawer I think potential QF games of Wales v Argentia and England v Fiji could be a couple of corking games. England will simply have to come out and play against Fiji otherwise it'll be a repeat of their recent defeat. Argentina completely fluffed their lines against England but they've shown more than enough in recent games that IF they are on it they can beat anyone. Fiji just need to stick to what they do best and Wales are growning in confidence. Still not a great team imo but they are hugely improved from 6 months ago.

Yes Darwin It may take him a couple of chances but he's finding the net regularly

Its still early in the season but im still not convinced by this team. Its too patchy, we lack control and defensively we are still far too open. Alisson is having to make worldies in every game to keep us in games. The balance is still way off.

Yes get in. Now settle it down & play some football. PLus can we stop making Antonio look like peak Drogba please.

Yet another awful start to a game

TBH I'd say right now given recent form the Jocks are arguably 5th/6th best team. First half they matched SA and we're probably the better team. If Russell is on his game there's every chance they can cause an upset. Not bothered who wins in the Wales/Aus game, I would like Fiji to qualify though as they are a breath of fresh air and there's no reason why they couldn't win the QF tie either.
