They usually win it though. Kind you I guess they usually beat us as well. Bayern may be the only tough game there for them.

Liverpool's Redmen TV and Arsenal fan TV criticising referee decisions in their respective games !

And Arsenal fans absolutely slaughtering Eze in the comments section !!

Been on a really good run, defence has been amazing, top of the league. One draw against and in form team is all it took for them to panic.

Liverpool have conatcted the PGML to complain about thier disallowed goal against Man City,

They will probably will get a public apology now and a month's grace of favourable decisions.

Absolutely ridiculous, it's offside, he ducked under the flight off the ball after contacting with the keeper.

Inter v Kairat Almaty - Dastan Satpaev playing for Kairat our 17 year old.

Dastan was on target again playing for Kazakhstan, scored in 1-1 draw v Belgium. 👌

Neymar will go down in history as the second-best attacking player in every European team he played for

Semenyo has looked just as good the on LW and RW and can even play upfront, why the hell didn't we go for him over Garnacho and Gittens?

Not that we would have gone in for him anyway, but he signed a contract extension before the window even started which was surprising, but I suspect two things, that one it came with a heavy wage increase and also a hidden release clause that will become available in the summer, otherwise I would not see him agreeing to a contract extension. Either way, we should be all over him for Summer because he is top class.

As I predicted, the inevitable release clause is now revealed, although I was thinking it would come active in the summer. He is with something quite good so if I was Semenyo, I would stick with Bournemouth till summer. Right now though would say Liverpool the best fit for him if being honest.

Heard he is an Arsenal fan but Arsenal would need to sell one of their big stars to sign him for FFP squad cost ratio reasons. He also would be in direct competition with Eze, Martinelli & Trossard on the LW, with Saka nailed on the RW.

Like you said Arsenal are his best bet as he could equally play on the RW as a long term Salah replacement or on the LW as competition for Gakpo. My only issue with Liverpool is I just can’t see the long term vision of the team. There is the Isak/Ekitike conundrum upfront, with some arguing Slot should play both together upfront, or shift the latter to the LW where he has played for France recently. You then have Wirtz who has been brilliant for Germany at LW also, but looks inferior as a “10”.

Whatever happens, I have to say " Flower of Scotland" was epic spine tingling tonight .

Great start and goal for Scotland but this Denmark team looks a very good footballing side.. Can't see Scotland holding out tbh.

Unbelievable scenes at the end there with Scotland, still thinking about that Scott McTominay goal, what a player he has become.

3 more than decent goals last night to send Steve's Clarke's Scotland through for the first time since 1998.

Scotland also win their world cup group.

Took three worldies but that's football, eh? Denmark overall better on the night and they will qualify providing the stuffing hasn't been knocked out of them.

Can't make up my mind about the red, the second card look nailed on and then from a different angle looked like McGinn took a dive.

Yet whatever Scotland took thier chances.

I had forgotten about Tierney too and see he is at Celtic.

Denmark played some very good football on the night , was impressed with their crisp, fast , one touch passing at times in the game.

Its amazing how that scotland game is being whitewashed as some kind of glorious miracle, completely ignoring they were outplayed, going out until one of their players cheated by taking a massive dive and got a players sent of for nothing. the kind of thing their fans would whine and moan about had it happened for England.

I didn't see the whole game but from what I did see they were awful and could hardly string two passes together. I don't remember a more undeserving late victory. Denmark must be absolutely gutted. The dive for the sending off was appalling.
