I'm yet to be convi8nced, but feel free to call me wrong if you're still flying at the end of the season. :)

There's 92 clubs in the football league - I think we meet that criteria.

No you still don't

Being in the top 10% in the country doesn't equate to being one of the best?

They only count as that for the types of pedant who know WHU will be back in the Champs within a decade.

'One of' can mean anything, depends how desperately you want it to apply.

Quite possible. But then you'd also have to say that they'd then be back in the top flight within 2 seasons.

Quite. 

Depends how desperately you want it not to apply...

Oh no you've uncovered my massive delusion that West Ham do not have one of the best squads in the country. I am truly in denial.

[LondonTom]

So I should cash out my title bet on West Ham to double my money?

 

(I put 40p down, current cash out is 82p! Big win!)

Payet has made the Guardians team of the year so far:

meanwhile pique has picked his world 11, bit of a shock at centre back

I reckon Stones deserves to be there more than Cesc

New Ronaldo doc is a journey into megalomania.

Surprised not to have read anything about today's Petrofac Training Cup semi-final between Queen's Park and Peterhead. What I didn't know is the last time we reached the semi-final, we had a future rock star playing for us...

I'm glad that Tuesday's England v France match is going ahead. Normal life ending is precisely what the terrorists want to achieve.

chuffed for you.

It'll be great to have a number of teams this year I feel connected enough with to cheer on. It might even make up for what will surely be another England disaster.

All Ireland semi final, England v Wales in the other semi.

[ThomThomDrum]

Lucky this tournament is not happening a few decades ago. The English, Irish and Northern Irish football fans on the lash for a few weeks, travelling in throngs to the one country that is going to see security rampped up to the highest most possible levels would have been a recipe for disaster..................and it could still get ugly, but let's hope not.

Shame the Scots wont be there. 

 

 

[Dead throne]

Sad Belgium-Spain is cancelled, but England-France should make up for that I hope.

What's happened to Lloris tonight? He's shit.

Im not watching.  However do you think you can judge anything from a friendly, especially one where apparently a lot of the players didn't want to play.

A goalie can normally catch the ball, friendly or not.

But I feel bad for how my words might look, its not how it was meant. Perhaps there's other reasons tonight, but he's been a long way from his best.
