I get what Pep is going for, especially when he was accustomed to having Neuer. Hart doesn't fit what Pep is looking for but Bravo is in no way an upgrade to Hart. Perplexing decision indeed.

Watched Star Trek: Beyond over the weekend. It wasn't bad. I don't usually advocate for movies being longer but another 5 min of footage would have been nice to fill in some of the holes in the plot.

The passion that Conte has, it just makes me smile every time I see it. Obviously puts it all into his club and country. It's exactly what we need after the fractured management of last season. It's early, but the players are buying in and you can see the drive they have. Long may it continue. Definitely a debate could be had for him bringing in subs too late, but I believe late subs were a part of his plan and it worked. I'll take it, no doubt. Good start to the campaign.

Good first press conference. I'm very excited and optimistic to see how Conte is going to shape this team!

Definitely looked like a Hublot.

Curious to see the formations for Germany vs France tonight. I believe Germany goes back to a 4-2-3-1, but the first question is who is up top? Is it Müller who has been ineffective so far this Euro, or Götze who was pulled for the lineup in favour of Gomez? Then who plays on the right? I would like to see Sane but with only three caps I do not see that happening. I do not have a good feeling about this match with Hummels suspended. Maybe Löw throws a surprise out there and sticks with a 3-5-2. However, the Müller and Götze two-striker front is not comforting. Whoever wins, best whoop up on Portugal. Pepe and Ronaldo with a Euro Championship? No thanks.

There's truth to this Zola, there is. However, imho it is more than that. I saw no sense of urgency, no pushing from the manager, no "Plan B" if you will (arguable if there was a "Plan A"). England has more talent than Iceland. They had no heart, no plan, and no cohesiveness. Iceland did, and were deserved winners.

Completely agree EB, well said.

Anyone playing Battleborn for the PS4? Good fun. I bought Overwatch, have not tried it yet.

What a sad and random event. Just goes to show that every day alive is a privilege. RIP, and best to his friends and family.

Very sad news. My condolences and best wishes to Mod and his family.

That's very well said Chippy. Completely agree with you mate.

Of course we can. Until we are mathematically eliminated, there is always a chance. I know Jose is not perfect, no one is, but he will do what he can to get the players back to their best. City has done well in the market and with the start of the season. There have been only four games played, plenty of time. We have work to do. I am willing to bet that the sense of urgency to turn this around has been communicated to the coaching staff and players. I expect to see some improvements after the break.

Good mate. I'll send you a PM, must catch up.
