I can see the logic of starting Targett from a man management perspective. In the sense that I’m sure he’s been asking for football and there’s an opportunity for him. You’d hope that performance put that to bed though

Some woeful performances out there but I do worry that the Liverpool hammer blow has completely fucked some of them. The confidence seems completely gone, even before the goal

Aye, if he was going to pick any old favourite, you’d think it would have been Sterling for the right hand side. The midfield picks are even more glaring when you consider we’ve just won the U21 Euros and there’s been absolutely no sign of bringing any of them in. The group is won already ffs

Not sure he could have done any worse than the team they put out tbf

Greenwood to “GetAfMe” is it? Good joke by the lads running the simulation

Aye, they were very much better than the sum of their parts which is the last thing you can say about Man United. Mind, I also just want him to fail because fuck Man United so I am biased

Amrabat was very good at the WC but you’ve always got to be wary of signing players off the back of good tournaments. Seem to remember him and Fiorentina being very powerless to stop us in the summer… Also, at Forest. They held it in for as long as they could only to make the 7 signings on deadline day

Now that’s not fair. They’re also going to sell all the lads on medium wages and sign bairns on low wages.

Good on Ando. Even if he gets into our first team and plays well, he’ll never get into the England set up until the likes of Phillips and Henderson are retired. It’s not like he’s going to play with mugs either, Scotland have some actual quality these days

Brighton don’t do well with height. See: our game last season and West Ham last week. It’ll be Burn and Lascelles if Botman is fucked IMO

Southampton are currently ripping their attack apart by poaching Stewart and Roberts

That was Inter. Last time (and only?) we played AC was Steve Harper’s testimonial

Milan would be class. Just because they’d bring a squad of total lunatics

Bit of a shame that Messi left PSG in the summer but maybe he seen this coming?

Fucking hell I suppose that’s a bit more glamorous than that shite Man City group

I think this is the first day that it’s actually sunk in that we’re in this

This is like everything UEFA do now; far too overblown and needlessly padded out

Done the simulator plenty of times now and I can confidently say that you’re more likely to get a decent draw than the group of death. Bring it on

Have they won a game yet?

His abject failure under the pressure at Chelsea will surely mean he’ll thrive under the even larger pressure at Man Utd

I’m away on Wednesday and if you hold this up any further, I swear to God

As soon as “Trent” stayed on the pitch, I knew we’d lose. That lot could fall in the Tyne and come up with a salmon in their mouth

From top to bottom with the sound of a cash register, as the Americans would say, closing

Congrats, my man. I’ll walk you down the aisle if need be

Well, when you put it like that
