Always wanted Fulham to progress instead of Aston Villa.
Villa play some dreadful football and there are already too many teams in the Premier League at both ends of the table that play awful football, we don't need more.
Hopefully Fulham continue in the same vein as they have been.

On another note. The money involved in the play-offs is insanity and a good indication of what is wrong with football, at least in my humble opinion.

Gareth Bale's overhead kick won't be forgotten for a long time, but neither will Loris Karius' mistakes. Although it was good to see him apologising at the end, as he should.

Hopefully we don't see more terrible Eurovision-esque openings for future Champion's League finals. No idea who Dua Lipa is and Sean Paul is never good, but that was opening woeful.

Gutted! Oh well, play offs shouldn't really be a thing and Fulham finished 3rd so deserved it anyway, although the final was pretty boring (from what I can remember, it was a bit of a blur though) since seeing highlights though Fredricks deserved a straight red and Hogan should of scored!

Never mind, another season of being the biggest club to ever grace the EFL

The night was made bearable thanks to Karius although I did seriously feel sorry for him for the 3rd, I doubt it would of happened if the 1st mistake didn't happen as I'm sure it would of been on his mind, I'd genuinely be surprised if he doesn't feel suicidal atm, should go back to the German league and continue to look good there never to be heard of again, I'm sure Liverpool will replace him

Hopefully Exeter can do this business today and finger Coventry and there massive group of band wagoners.



Then onto the World Cup, would be satisfied too see England make it to the quarters anything better is a bonus, can't beat a summer with the World Cup or Euros on

Sterlings a bit of a dope getting that tattoo.

I get its his body, he can get whatever tattoo he wants within reason and it's not as bad as its being made out too be

but surely he knew it'll get the headlines for the wrong reasons

*** World cup 2018 time ***

Englands aim should be quarters, anything better is a bonus, Germany I think are the favourites, I'll check the odds right now, Germany and Brazil can't seem to be seperated as most have them both at 9/2 although a couple have Brazil at 4/1

Can't see Brazil doing the business, specially with the difference in temperature in Russia compared too Brazil but you never know

Belgium, Argentina, France and Spain are also bettered than England.

Belgium - I see too much similarity in that as with Englands "golden generation" got the tools but can't seem to work as a team

France - Again great squad and with great back up in almost every position, could definitley go all the way

Argentina - Can't see them doing well, they haven't done well for a while? especially as they considered to even qualify in a very poor group which you needed to finish top 5 ? if my memory serves me right

Spain - I think are living on past glories and can't be considered a major contender

Brazil - as said above can't see them coping with the change in temperature and potentially too reliant on Neymar

Germany - Probably favourites, current holders but you never know

Oh and of course

England - Defence and centre mids are probably weakest they've been for years, I think Pickford deserves the number 1 spot, really rate him and he's performed well so far whenever I've seen him for England

Couple of players who have had great seasons in Sterling and Kane but with England its always hard to get optimistic coz the "big" players never seem to perform on the "big" stage for England, I guess we have Lingard though? he seems to do it in the big games for United, although a long way from being one of best players

With Sterling, Kane also Walker I think we've got 3 players which make most teams in the world



Personally I'd like to see

-----------Pickford---------------
Walker - Cahill - Maguire - Young
----- Henderson - Delph(?) -------
Sterling ----- Alli ------ Lingard
--------------Kane---------------

I don't think I'll be too far off with the exception of Delph as I can't see him starting but from remembering his time at Villa and with the quality of CMs now I'd have him straight in there (and I absolutley hate him for the way he left us) although I still haven't seen much off him the past 2 seasons, I know he was there LB for a while

I've just been reading transfer rumour news :P

Apparently Ronaldo's mum would love him to move back to Manchester as she likes the city.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

Silly me I forgot Englands formation these days haha, ignore that team

1-0 against Nigeria, Cahill.

Not that these games mean anything really

As much as I rate Ronaldo, the best player I've ever seen live and I've always had him ahead of Messi, although that debate will go on forever, I really don't think he'll do it in the Prem now at the age of 33(?) is it, especially with the type of football United play, don't get me wrong hes still a great player but at 33 and in La Liga I think is best for him, unless he wants a big money move to MLS or China

2-0 Kane, we'd win the world cup if Sterling could finish, does everything else with ease, so frustrating
