I've heard roomers that Tottenham is going to be at the ICC this summer, hoping to god that they play near me so I can see them live.

 

The refs are striking in Mexico apparently

 

Watching the Chinese Super League and the refs are also horrible.

lmao Pato saves the ref. Horrid penalty.

 

This kinda got me thinking....


If you could put together an ideal XI, what would it look like? I'm going to impose the additional rule of only 2 per team (so like fantasy, but stricter) so that it's not just the same grouping of players.

 

-------------Buffon-------------
Dani Alves-Godin-Hummels-Marcelo
------Modric-----Busquets-------
--Alexis------Messi------Hazard--
-------------Cavani-------------

Chose Cavani over Ibra simply on this season's form. Pique, Neymar, Iniesta, Ramos, and Ronaldo were weird to leave out.

 

Honestly think every player that wears their socks low is a wanker.

 

Bournemouth have missed two fucking penalties. Why couldn't they miss last week. Fuckin hell

 

1-0 Everton. Ben Foster mistake.

 

Lukaku made both our goals tbh

 

Yeah he's been very impressive. Showing what he can do when he's not scoring.

 

Lukaku has been a #tank

 

need his "99.99% done" contract to be done with already

 

Rooney/Lukaku swap in the summer and I think we'd all be happy with that

 

-------------- De Gea -----------------
Juanfran - Boatang - Bonucci - Alaba
------------- Busquets ----------------
----------- Modric - Pogba ------------
---- Messi - Aubameyang - Ronaldo --

Right back and striker were my only question marks

 

Juanfran was my second choice for RB. Dude will run himself to death before quitting.

 

Really struggled with this so I added a bench of players I wanted but couldn't fit in cause either they were a third player from one club or they narrowly missed out.

--------------- De Gea -------------
- Juanfran -- Godin - Bonucci -- Alaba -
--------- Busquets --- Modric -------
--- Messi -------------------Bale ---
-------------- Higuian -------------

Bench: Lloris, Koscielny, Pique, Kante, Griezmann, Alexis Sanchez, Lewandowski

 

Griezmann over Cavani in mine would be good, too. So many great players to think about.

 

Just remembered that Hazard exists. We genuinely are blessed with so many incredible players right now in world football.

 

Yeah, I was gonna cheekily include Pulisic as my LW until I remembered Hazard exists.

 

We don't even look good in the first 10 minutes against bloody Lincoln

 

fuck of

 

So if Chelsea, spurs, and arsenal win their fa cup matches and join city in the semis, 7th is basically a lock for Europa, correct?

 

I think that's how Swansea got in a few years back

 

That's what I'm counting on!
