Saved you two minutes mate
Henderson, Maguire, Phillips and Nketia in the England squad. Southgate is an absolute bellend.
Well Sevilla aren't bad, you could have got Celtic insteadSaved you two minutes mate
Speaking of lucky draws, the EFL cup draw was surprisingly balanced this time, quite a few PL v PL matches

Leave Nketia out of it, he's got a decent record and is actually getting PL minutes
Think he's decent, but don't think he's done anything like enough, compared to Watkins, Sterling or Bowen. Maybe one for the future, but if he was playing for a non-Sky 6 team (apart from Palace), he wouldn't have had a sniff IMHO.

Harry Maquire is an absolute joke, how can Southgate pick him. He has inadvertently screwed over Ten Hag by picking him. I'm Royally pissed off with Man Utd's transfer window, Man City and Arsenal both finished above Utd last season but have had a better window. In fact every club in the top half from last season has had a better window. The fact Utd turned down £60 million for Maquire and the Scottish pound land Darren Fletcher is a shambles.
Ten Hag is in worse position now than he was 12 months ago, only under the Glazers that happens.

Fingers crossed they get whipped every game
Apparently UEFA aren't going to implement the PLs time wasting rules, so they should be OK!

Hey, you've got Jonny Evans for another year
I do rate Johnny Evans. He is a dammed sight better than fat Maguire. Albeit I do have a slight Norn Iron bias on that one.
I had to laugh at Maguire, Phillips and Hendo getting picked. The latter could MAYBE be argued to not have been in the Saudi amateur league for long enough to get fat, slow and rusty, but that is generous. Fat Maguire and Phillips have played about 5 mins between them in the last year. They should be nowhere near any squad.
@lejackal, I agree with most of your CL group predictions. Groups A-C and G&H are dead easy to call. D could be anyone of the four and could actually finish in any order. E, I fancy Feyenoord to sneak through behind Atleti. F is Dortmund over AC for me, but it's close.

I can recommend Toulouse for a weekend away if you can ditch the small person/s and possibly the wifeAnd Liverpool get LASK, Union. St Gilloise and Toulouse in what must be the easiest CL group ever!

Man Utd are an embarrassment couldn't even afford to buy Amrabat so have done a loan to buy deal for £10 million. Oh and it looks like the Glazers have changed their mind and aren't selling!
