Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

So far the Germans have the tighter shorts edge ... but quite frankly the quality (of the football) is very poor - so ditching to watch Emma Raducanu ...

 

... moved on to club WC ... have to say - love the Fluminense shirts - quite unique...

 

...and they just score a cracker

 

only game i've fully watched was the Flu v Inter Milan and the difference to others i've looked at was the Fluminese fans created a proper atmosphere

oh great save

 

and now a pen possibly as we wait for var

 

Glad to see Fluminense progress ...

 

Chelsea have apparently signed the 'best Brazilian since Neymar' ... kid scored against them for Palmeiras in the club world cup in the early hours of this morning...

Friendly against Peterborough today - apparently on the club's YouTube channel ...

Andy King - club legend - 'managing' ... got League One, Championship, and Prem title winner medals ...

 

Who knows he could be doing the same next pre season, gets the job permanently and have League one winners manager award to go with them.

 

... ribbing aside - they'll need to give us one hell of a points deduction to stop us challenging for promotion - really looking forward to watching the 'Young Guns' - marked contrast to last season - Coopernicus's transfer business (and team selection) combined with Fatawu's ACL early doors were nails in the coffin... Ruud simply oversaw the terminal care ... poorly.

 

Should I be worried that we are increasingly being linked with a currently out of work and 'available' Steven Gerrard?

 

Nice gesture

 

Less worried more ****ting yerself

Will watch my first 5pm teatime ko of the comp, see how it goes before England later.

 

Three expectant Welshies watching at ours ...

 

If I'm reading the betting odds correctly, Netherlands are clear favourites to win this, but goodluck to Wales anyway.

 

Netherlands are former winners - first ever tournament finals for Wales...

 

Yeah this is looking like a game of how long can Wales keep the Netherlands out, I see the Dutch manager used to be assisstant and caretaker at Bayern Munich, Andries Jonker.

Article in run up to this...
