I'm still living with my Mum and Stepdad but I intend to really look into moving out in the next couple of years. I'm starting saving money when we get knocked out of the Champions League. How much approximately do you actually need to get out initially?

It's very hard to compare really. You do have a bigger fanbase but for example, no South American club has the capability to top the achievement of being champions of Europe. There's a glass ceiling which totally distorts any fair comparison.

I'm not having a pop at all. I think it's hard enough to compare clubs in different countries within a continent, let alone clubs from different ones.

That isn't that unpopular really. On that subject I do think Kane and Alli, relative to their club form, have both been disappointments for England.

There's absolutely no way you can compare the size of Universitario and Leicester really.

Do love a bit of this lot.

Well if I'd known that had happened to your hair I'd never have recommended getting you back. Feel utterly betrayed.

Could Defoe return? With Kane being out. Vardy's surely in. He's looking back himself again. Probably it from us.

Alex Ferguson knew David Moyes would be out of his depth and got him in to strengthen his own legacy even more.

I thought they would go with Southgate and had £20 on him at 6/1 when Hodgson got the boot. Sure enough they got a manager in for one game and THEN they ended up with Southgate. I just think there's something fundamentally wrong at England. It's the same style of play, the same type of players, no matter who is in charge. I really did think Allardyce was going to come in and shake things up a bit but although it was just one game, nothing looked to had changed to me really. It'll be the same under Southgate. We will qualify for Russia, make the same kind of mistakes in our squad selection, get our tactics / style of play wrong and produce another utterly unforgettable tournament performance. It happens far too often for it to be a co-incidence. I think England need a kick up their arse like getting a hard qualifying group. We keep getting lucky draws and we keep deluding ourselves as a result of them. I just feel so utterly disconnected with it all to be honest. I won't actively want them to fail but I don't really feel a jot of passion for it. Even the Wales winner I didn't celebrate even nearly as much as your standard league goal for us. International football as a whole though is flawed. The system is all wrong. We spread uncompetitive fixtures out over two year periods. It's shite.

Bound to be for a while. Saying that I think my interest in England has hit an all-time low. I just cannot see a way out. We're stuck in a cycle.

Technology won't solve a lot of things until the rules are made more black and white. Said it many a time now but the fact qualified referees can disagree on things after seeing replays worries me. Certainly makes me question the integrity of the sport.

Derby were too quick to sack Nigel Pearson. Now, it may have been to do with something internal - you get the impression his departure at Leicester was for something that's happened behind the scenes, and should it be for something where you simply cannot keep the bloke on (for example, he's twatted the chairman) then fair enough, I can see it. But if it was for footballing reasons - as in, they were so unimpressed by how he started there that they pulled the trigger and reverted to McClaren, then for me, they have made a mistake. I have seen years of what Pearson does. He isn't really a quick-fix. I think back to when he took us over the second time - we were about 10th at the time, finished around there and spent 6 months floating around making up the numbers, often being turned over by rubbish away from home. We were painfully inconsistent. But the number one fundamental with Pearson is the kind of character he brings in. Pearson was always absolutely brilliant at identifying who really did have that determination to succeed. I'm not talking about someone who just runs around like a headless chicken - I'm talking players with winning mentalities, players who have something to prove, players who hold their nerve. He didn't get it right every time. But the core of our squad that won the league was built by Pearson. That to me is as much proof as I need that he knows how to pick a player. The way we held our nerve last season despite it being all so new to us was quite incredible. This isn't me trying to discredit Ranieri for last year either. He's obviously played a big part. But the players did as well, and Pearson was here when nearly all of them joined the club. Derby, tonight, have been thumped. They have been woefully beaten yet again - in yet another second half of the season capitulation where they gave themselves a shot, but ultimately blew it largely in very winnable games. I have seen disgust from their fans tonight. They are calling out their players and they want something to change. For me, Pearson would have eventually implemented that change. I believe that with him, you have to take a bit of a step back to go forward. He would bin off anyone who wasn't up for it - it's a long term process with him. I always believed in it at Leicester and he never let us down in the end. I firmly believe that in three years time, Derby will not be as high in the table or as nicely improved behind the scenes in terms of coaches, scouts etc... as they would've been under Pearson, and for me, getting rid of him was a rash move.

This post is a small tribute to Western Sydney Wanderers fans. Some of their videos on here look outstanding

I have actually half followed it this year although that's mainly for gambling purposes. So many goals.

This is completely spot on coming from someone who has followed the whole thing very closely. The majority of the outcry has come from neutrals rather than fans of the club. Another regarding us - referring to everything that happened last year as a fairytale is quite condescending and totally overlooks logical reasons as to why what happened, happened.

The absolute mercenary. Straight on here the second he was offered an admin role. Is this basically Red Bull TFF?
