A win for Sweden in Sofia and a cheeky draw between the dutch and french would do me nicely ! A French win would suffice as well.

I want a French demolition so Virgil has even more reason to just call Saints bluff and chill at home until January.

 

[McMoneyman]

In a lot of ways we've strengthened a lot. Salah is one of those 'missing piece' players like Mane was. Happy with Ox and other dealings. But gutted to miss out on Virgil. He's a monster. And if not him, at least someone. 3 senior centre backs, 1 of which being about 97 years old + Joe Gomez who hasn't looked the same player since his return from injury. Even Ramsey burned him for pace on Sunday.

Annoyingly close to a fucking GREAT team. Proper CB would take us from top 4 to being in the mix for the title IMO.

Still think we'll do alright in Europe. Side is built for competition football really.

I wonder if we'll ever see Moreno further up the field in some games. With Robbo at LB obviously.

I'll keep my expectations in check. I am Mr. Pessimistic.

 

[T-Rex.]

Arsenal fans have been getting roasted all day on twitter lmao. Sad times when even Spurs fans are mugging them off.

 

[Syder]

That feeling when you spend less than most bottom half teams.

 

[FuturusX]

I can't remember his name. Thought he was on my ignore list, but that's empty, it turns out.

Yeah, he was fucking ludicrous.

Doicare...was his name. What we do in GAF echoes on the internet for eternity.

:/

I think we should have enough to win against Bulgaria. Would be so shitty if we fucked it up after that win against France.

 

[Pachimari]

Sometimes you have to let guys go

He is happy here though and further up the pecking order than say Marcos Llorente.

 

[King_Moc]

Doicare...was his name. What we do in GAF echoes on the internet for eternity.

That's him! He was incredible. He should do press releases for someone with all that spin.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Does anyone remember that United fan who used to post in the football threads before they were banned for a while?.. he was always coming in after awful United performances under Moyes and blaming it all on bad luck or refereeing decisions. I wonder what happened to him.

Doicare is alive and well. Annoying as ever and now tormenting the unwantables on a different forum.

 

[Beefy]

Man, how many players have Watford signed?

 

[Tubie]

PSG is mad.

You can almost buy any mid to low table premier league team with the money they threw at 2 players.

 

[D4Danger]

Swansea have quietly done alright for themselves.

Renato Sanchez and Bony's on his way back.

edit: also selling 32yr old Llorente for £15m.

 

[TrueBlue]

I remember Wilbury the most out of the old Man United faction of FootballGAF.

He was a character!

Doicare is a legend.

 

[brokenbeans]

That's the guy ^

Yeah he was a muppet but a good guy

 

[Error]

we've loaned douglas to benfica for the 5 people that care.

Haha well i'm glad he's doing well I guess. Kinda miss him in a masochistic kinda way although he was only fun when United were bad. They might win the league now.

 

[nature boy]

How the F is Giroud the starting striker for France

 

[pbsapeer]

Bojan leaving Stoke?

 

[WhateverItTakes]

You do wonder why Klopp only had eyes for VVD in terms of a CB. Does he have attributes noone else has or does Klopp rate our current guys that highly?

Oh well, Striker, Winger, Midfielder (?), and Left Back. Decent innings, if they all perform I'll call it a good window. Reckon we'll need one or two incomings in January though.

 

[Labadal]

:/

It's mostly the Berg/Toivonen combo that I am not thrilled about, despite what they did against France. Not a fan of Granqvist either.

Deschamps is clueless.

 

[brokenbeans]

Bojan leaving Stoke?

Think he was linked to Malaga earlier?

lacazette - 50m

Toivonen I don't know why he's playing in the national team still. It's a shame Guidetti haven't become as good as we all thought he would.

 

[Unreal Champ]

Madness and incompetence. Selling a 30m rated CB when we are desperate to land another CB to fix our atrocious defence.

I don't what it is he did to deserve to be treated like this, but it would want to have been really fucking bad.

I think Sakho pulled a Ryan Giggs and had sex with his wife. That's the only thing I can think of.

 

[whatsinaname]

What a fun transfer period. And that is with Madrid's net spending at -80m Euros...

 

[Pachimari]

Apparently Cristiano Ronaldo just scored a scissor kick goal?

Goal is here.

lol. Now hopefully he stops attempting it every other match.

Wheeew Griezmann

 

[nature boy]

And France scores (Griezmann)

Bulgaria scores

And France score.

It was a nice goal from Bulgaria, but they have score in almost every game this qualifier.

Vlasic to Everton is done.

Now let's hope Jim White wasn't talking bullshit.

Missed pen :/

This is just all kinds of crap.

Going to be interesting how this squad performs next summer. Will they go in as favorites?

 

[azyless]

Our coaching is so weak. Honestly convinced we got to the Euro final by pure luck and strong individualities. We could do something great with this squad but I have no confidence in Deschamps whatsoever.

For some reason, I don't feel like they are.

 

[KingSnake]

Pogba is the same kind of average also in the national team.

Edit: on paper France should win everything in the next 4-6 years with this team.

Germany had half its starting XI injured and suspended.

Where's Kante? He should play over Pogba.

 

[azyless]

So you're agreeing with me ?

Where's Kante? He should play over Pogba.

He's playing. Tolisso, Rabiot, Matuidi on the bench.
Pogba is insufferable though. Not even 30 minutes in and I'm tired of him.

 

[McMoneyman]

1-1 Lustig! Fuck yeah.

 

[Labadal]

Nice from Lustig!

Great goal but the defending was a bit weak, I think.

Liverpool-esque defending from the set-piece.

to be fair... Id pick anyone over Benzema right now lol
