Like I said, Jib got as much wrong as right.
Don’t worry about it until you find yourself cross dressing and drinking white lightning whilst driving Tom Hanks in your Taxi.

Comment #16I mentioned earlier, that red cards from international games to carry over to league games, saying the rules have just changed, but it was on twitter, so that’s why I enquired.

Comment #21Is this highlighting Southgate’s inability to make big decisions and drop the so called big name first team starters?
Picking players in form is he?
Not watching it but i might have a look at Fraser in the Scotland game…..

Comment #22Premier League Stuff/Teams
Delighted that this “Project” has been knocked back!
However I do wonder what else they may have up their sleeves?
There has to be a way of supporting the teams from the EFL. Especially at this terrible time in our history!
There is no way the voting power, in the EPL should change from one club one vote – we all know what would happen if only the top six had total control. (they wouldn’t think twice at feathering their own nests, in the blink of an eye comes to mind!)
The Premier League is a twenty team league and that’s the way it should stay
Personally I really didn’t want it reduced from twenty two teams when it was.
Transfer Fees are quite frankly obscene and have been for some years now when there is so much poverty and suffering in our world.
Agents Fees are also diabolically high and this is cash that is leaving our game. Something needs to be done about this!
Players wages are also way above a level that is sensible. I don’t begrudge them a decent pay packet but ???
My feelings about the Premier League would be the same even if we finally get the “Take Over” that we are all hoping & wishing for. (The sooner the better on that point)
Regarding International matches they are far too many of them in my opinion. Yes I want my country to do well but……. my team will always come first as they will for supporters of all the other teams in the Premier and lower divisions.
In conclusion we need to radically change a lot – will we?
Only time will tell…………

Comment #25How many times have Scotland being in the same group as Cz inlast few years. I tell you, being behind a man in a skirt on Prague metro escalator (can be 100m long and known for their windiness) is not good!! I lived their for 3 years and my eyes!!! my eyes!

Comment #28Asi
That’s a good sign and be great for his match fitness as he needs to step up a few levels but two good showings for the national side, now he just needs to put past the scrutty mancs. Got high hopes for him in a Newcastle shirt.

Comment #30Scotland
Goalscorer Ryan Fraser is withdrawn and is immediately taping a large bag of ice to his arm on the sidelines. Kenny McLean is on to shore up an under-pressure midfield.
Hope he’s OK for the Man U game!

Comment #31Mund – yeah I have high hopes for Fraser too. I hope he starts along with Miggy & ASM. All three with Wilson up top should be able to frighten Man Spew 🙂
Might be a bit too bold for Bruce though….

Comment #32The Rafa “sacking” is probably gonna cost Sean somewhere between 500k and a million quid a year.

Comment #33Asi
Sounds a frightening thought that forward line with all at full pelt. I hope when Fraser is at his best we see both him and Maxi switching flanks during the game as Maxi can be such a provider on the right and a one man army on the left. Got a great cross on him as well.

Comment #37Wilson, Joelinton and St Max are frontline picks, the other spot between Fraser, Almiron and Hendrick, with Hendrick having the shirt.
I’d quite like to see us go with Fraser, Joelinton and St Max and Wilson up top, with maybe Hendrick alongside Hayden, but Shelvey will start.
