Dave

Taking injuries and current form in to account I would have him in the squad, which is why it took me long to respond as I've been searching the office for a white flag or a towell. It's a sorry state of affairs really.

He was ok last season, not great. Being voted Southampton's best player last season is hardly something to be doing cartwheels over.

Looking forward to seeing how Marcus Edwards gets on at Excelsior.

Ajax, PSV, Feyenood and Willem II all recording wins this weekend.

The FA Continental Tyres League Cup is underway. The main talking point was Manchester United's Women's team first home game since their relaunch. After winning their first game 1-0 against Liverpool, they have been knocked out 2-0 to Reading. They played in front 4,835 people which is a record in this competition.

A thread to discuss one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Please do not piss me off with innapropiate comments in this thread.

I haven't got the foggiest to be honest. I was half expecting Ambrose to turn at Summerslam but was glad he didnt. There's enough heels to keep them entertained for the time being.

I'm glad Reigns has the title now, hopefully means somebody else will get the mania moment. Hopefully Brawn or Rollins on Raw.

He is still a legend on Twitter and in interviews.

Whilst Summerslam felt like an event that needed to happen to move storylines on, NXT Takeover was amazing. In my opinion the best takeover ever. I went to an ROH event in London yesterday. It was ok but for there to be no Cody Rhodes, Bully Ray, Emma, Frankie Kazarian, Dalton Castle, Silas Young, Kingdom or Shane Taylor was really underwhelming.

To announce it at half time was bizarre. Hardly going to give the fans a lift for the second half.

Hes retired from international football now. Only 31. It feels like he should be much older.

On a side note welcome back @Julio Geordio

Messi announced as club captain ahead of Pique.

One playoff finish in God knows how many decades and regularly selling their best players. To an outsider, you're still a surprise candidate.

Come on now, don't take the piss mate, we all know exactly who he's talking about here. @Mel81x @JOSHBRFC @Harry @ScoRoss and myself.

You are my surprise pick this season @Danny Just like you were two seasons ago

Unfortunately he had a lot of issues, some of which seemed self inflicted. --- I can't believe I'm saying this but Slammiversary was one of the best shows Impact have put out there in roughly ten years. Apart from maybe Eddie Edwards (who has bizarrely transitioned himself in to a very good hardcore wrestler) none of these guys would benefit from moving to WWE so hopefully they can keep this group together for another year or two.

Cole is a regular signing of mine on FM. This is because his brother Jay always turns out to be very good, and he's more receptive to sign if his brother is already with me. Whilst Jay becomes an established Premier League player, Cole usually ends up playing his trade at somebody like Wycombe. That said, the last unknown Chelsea youngster that joined Brentford looks like he could be something special. So here's hopeing.

The Holmesdale Fanatics have told Crystal Palace that they will no longer be present as an organised group because the club have refused to move long term season ticket holders to accommodate where they want to sit. What must these Ultra groups in Europe think.

Well thats another not so Extreme Rules concluded for another year. A lot of matches felt like we were going through the motions. Nobody really expected anything other than Almas, Carmella, Dolph, Bliss and AJ to win. Pretty disappointed to see New Day not on the main card, Baron Corbin lose momentum already and Matt Hardy drop the tag team titles. Two things I was particularly happy about. The first was Randy Orton turning heel again. As a face he has great momentum when he was doing his bit with Bray Wyatt but about a year ago he went flat. He never seems flat when he's a heel. He always looks main event material. I'm glad it's happened and a feud with Jeff Hardy should be a good one. The second was Lashley beating Roman. Lashley is legit somebody who looks capable of mixing with Brock, Roman and Strowman. I think the fans realise that which is why they've resented his quick climb up the card. Having him lose in a formality loss so soon since his Raw debut would have been reminiscent of that pretty lame Cena period at the end of the naughties. Also, how many huge bumps is Owens going to take? That's the second PPV in a row where Vince has booked him as if he's Shane. --- Away for WWE, massive mistake from ROH not give the title to Cody just before All In because of all the exposure. I hope Pentagon and Aries drop the LU and Impact titles soon as having them as midcarders in competitive promotions makes the titles look weak.

'Boro would be good for him. Him and Traore either side would tear teams apart.

Harry Wilson doesn't want to go out on loan again, did he impress as much as the stats suggest @The Artful Dodger?
