I spent most of that England vs Slovakia game wondering if a manager has ever been sacked during a game.
Would still be happy to see him sacked before England play Switzerland.
Start Cole Palmer and put him out wide on the right. Make sure Trent is out wide. This means they (the opposition) have to mark out wide - otherwise everyone ignores Trippier because he's not a threat. Staying wide opens up space for Foden and Bellingham to do their stuff. They are not head-down players.
If they play everyone in the middle of the park, we don't have a Rodri/Modric/David Silva/Gundogan that can route the right pass under pressure. These head-down, see-all players are like rocking horse shit and we ain't got none, guv. Sailor V. Not unless someone persuades Paul Scholes to come back.
Going out on pennos after a 0-0. I might stick a 10 spot on it. I feel like it's shorting the British economy, but unlike the Tories, there's something in it for me that way and not Crispin Odey.
oh man, did I get the banhammer for having a ManUtd dude in the team? I did it against my will, I swear. I also hate that I have a Chelsea player on there. Are you telling me there are rules, Donnie? Is there a line in the sand that you do not cross?

also noticing that as soon as I start to catch up to a certain J in the fatnasty league the rules start coming down...
That ToeragsWithNoRags leagues is generally City fans who must never select a Un*ted player. If you gain advantage by doing so, people complain to me that such people are cheating. It's not personal, just the rules of the league. Unwritten, of course....I have never picked a Un*ted player in this competition, such is my bitterness. There is a line, right? It would be like the Scots cheering for England.You are free to beat me in any other League of your choice with as many Un*ted players as you want. Just think of the fun you missed out on when peak CR7 was playing relegation-zone teams BITD and everyone in NoRags had to deal.tl;dr: BREXIT MEANS BREXIT
the funny thing is that I've always had an unspoken rule about never having Chelsea or Man Utd players on my team because I don't like the feeling of celebrating their success, even in avatar form. This is actually the first time I've broken that rule, and I was about to get rid of Diallo anyway, just brought him in because they were playing Southampton.
Looking forward to some fresh faces at City, Pep's biggest challenge (well, apart from when he won f*ck-all the first season here) will be getting it to click like it did with Rodri, but without Rodri.

Dregful.
@ppadilha I didn't pull you out of the Strut league, was that your call? Sad face.
I think you booted me out of the No Rags league on account of having a Rag, and maybe I joined that one thinking it was the Strut league? It's the only league I was in, apart from another one with LA locals who do Premier League fan cosplay. One dude is a Leicester stan while his son is apparently a Forest fan, which I took to mean his son is in his mid-60s.
P, the Strut league welcomes you with open arms, meu nobre amigo no ritmo : https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/kxlzf2
Coincidentally current gig is in Leicester, but Forest are my now-local side.

Yes! Went into that game with low expectations due to the injuries to key players and Saka only just coming back from 3 months out (and he was rusty), but Real never turned up. And then the first freekick went in. Couldn’t believe it. I literally laughed at the second one. Things could go pear shaped but optimistic now.
Made the mistake of turning on the tv to watch the last 10 minutes of OT for Man Utd's game. Remembered why I had made it a point not to watch the Arsenal game live the previous day. THE GODS OF FOOTBALL DO NOT WANT ME TO EXPERIENCE JOY IN REAL TIME.
