Having had no interest in this competition until a bit earlier I had no idea what it entailed or what it was. Now I've read up on it.... I still have no interest in it. Europa league is boring enough, this competition just takes the biscuit and sounds like the footballing equivlanet of being the...

Spurs, Norwich and Newcastle the first three clubs to furlough their non-playing employees so the government has to pay them 80% wages instead of the clubs having to fork out for it themselves by asking their multimillionaire players to help out. Any thought other than 'what a bunch of rich...

Would your first XI be any different? For the mighty gooners, I'd say only Cazorla and Gnabry would be in our first XI. Southampton would be interesting! Leno Bellerin Holding Sokratis Tierney Guendouzi Cazorla Auba Ceballos Gnabry Laca

Quite funny. Auba and Laca seem to very much be leaders of the pack and very good mates. Bernd Leno singing... Wtf? Pepe rapping... Wtf? Guendouzi looks about 12 when he's not in an arsenal kit.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48535933 Doesn't seem to give any reason for why they should get equal pay apart from them being women. Or can I get offended that my 5aside team didn't get equal prize money for winning the hounslow East division 6 title last year? Where they do they think...

Danny Rose openly admits that he can't wait to give up football because he's so incensed about racism. Hero speaking out? But then again he's not willing to give football up immediately to make a real statement but wait 5-6 years because he's getting paid £3m+ a year. So he's willing to let...

Dude scored two goals on his professional debut. First one quite a nice finish. https://www.a-league.com.au/video/full-time-highlights-usain-bolt-scores-twice-second-trial

It's the only explanation I can think of for this comedy article making it as news... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45724161 <laugh>

And can I be the first to say... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44539298

Which one for optimal wife bants? Option 1 Option 2 Option 3

Assuming both were the same age and both were available to sign for the same fee and wages, and your team currently had neither playing for them and only had a **** striker up front. Who would you choose?

I don't care about this match at all. I didn't even know we were playing until I got a goal alert on my phone. What shall we talk about?

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says that he must avoid "a Mourinho season" as the champions attempt to defend their Premier League title. Jose Mourinho won the league with Chelsea in 2015 but was sacked the next season with the club in 16th place. "Two years ago Chelsea finished 10th; that...

Disregarding injury status I'd go with (in order): Cech Bellerin Ozil Campbell Monreal Yes? No?

Some absolute classic throwbacks here. The 'most important' football games according to the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35422607 Intellivision Soccer (1979) - never heard of it Pele's Soccer (1980) - too young Nintendo World Cup (1980) - too young Sensible (World) of Soccer...

Would be interested to see how many others are as apathetic about England nowadays as me. I didn't even know when the England game was on yesterday until I turned the tv on and it was half way through the first half. Suffice to say I switched over sharpish. I could only name Switzerland as...

FIFA's reputation is probably at its lowest point in history with the world cup bidding process scandal. And we can all agree that the standard of refereeing in the premier league is shocking. Now with the FA taking no action against Ashley Barnes and stating... "the whole game is in agreement...

After a two month hiatus, I've decided that I need to discuss Arsenal somewhere and arguing with those with completely different views to my own was more entertaining than talking about football with my myopic Liverpool supporting father and home counties based United supporting friends. So...
