    [CL] Champions League 2015/2016

    I don't think Ter Stegen did anything wrong. If you want your keeper to play sweeper, as Barca do, the keeper can't be holding back in case someone does what Florenzi did - he has to be off his line, on the front foot and focused on the space behind the defence. Ter Stegen playing sweeper will...

    Bet of the day

    Ho hum. Lost what I won last night. It does provide me with considerable solace that it was Arsenal being humiliated that spoiled the bet.

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2015/2016

    7 out of 7. Ward McLaughlin-Taylor-Considine-Shinnie Jack-Flood McGinn---McLean---Hayes Rooney Was always likely to be a difficult game given the inevitable drop in intensity after cuffing Celtic, but came through it. The performance was unnecessarily shit, but we still...

    Went for what should be a safe treble for tonight: Real Madrid, PSG and Sevilla. Odds are slightly over evens.

    Corbyn's election is a huge failure from the rest of the Labour party. They failed to give any proper impression of what they believe. I don't think Labour can win the next election (and that was regardless of who became leader) so I'm quite happy to see Labour start to rebuild from the left...

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2015/2016

    Boyata is shit. They waited so long to sell Van Dijk that they haven't yet had the chance to integrate the new players yet. Simunovic didn't play on Saturday and Blackett played left back. These guys might turn out to be good, but Celtic are hugely vernerable right now. There is no dominant...

    Do you love everyone you've ever talked to? If you want to take a hardline anti-war position, as Corbyn does, you have to be prepared to talk to everyone.

    Correct team picked my McInnes to allow to physically match Celtic and really put pressure on them. Ward Logan-Taylor-Quinn-Considine Jack-Shinnie McGinn---McLean---Hayes Rooney Celtic played for a draw and that tanslated into a nothingy performance, where we spent long periods...

    I trust everyone had as an enjoyable a weekend as I did... Late winner when down to ten men to beat Celtic and go top of the league and make it six wins out of six to start the season. Glorious.

    I simply won't. It's more than my Juventuz-addled brain could possibly handle.

    Not necessarily. If Juve get 87 points - as they did last season - and Roma manage to get more than that, I don't think that could be considered a major failure by Juve. - - - Updated - - - There is a reason why historically it has been hard to win more than three scudetti in a row. Not...
