Ten Hag should make him captain just for laughs.

Jonny Evans has signed a short term deal to help with his fitness, apparently.

the self-centred clapping, notebook-loving midget did that, not Fofana's sale...

Gutted for him given his previous injury. Not so gutted for Chelsea. Thanks for the £75m.

We've signed a ball-playing goalkeeper and Denmark's number 2 Mads Hermansen. Quite highly rated and think he'll be quite a bit. Hopefully can create some kind of longevity and legacy like Kasper did for us. I can also only hope this means Ward is sold...

We're back everyone! First games are this weekend Who will take the crown off 3-time winner @Viva la FCB?!

The fifth edition of the FIRST GOAL competition. This will run until the end of the 2023/24 season - most likely the Champions League Final on 1st June 2024 being the final game. First Goal Hall of Fame - Previous Winners 2019/20 - @Viva la FCB 2020/21 - @Bluewolf 2021/22 - @Viva la FCB 2022/23 - @Viva la FCB THE RULES: One game will be chosen by me, usually at least 48 hours before. Games chosen will be from any competition around the world, usually with some significance or a game of high importance if possible. Players will get 3 points if they guess the correct minute of the game's first goal If it is a 0-0 draw and you predict 'No goal scored', you will also get 3 points. Players will get 2 points if they are 1 minute out either way i.e. goal scored in 30th minute and predictions are for 29th or 31st minute. Players will get 1 point if they are 2 minutes out either way i.e. goal scored in the 61st minute and predictions are for 59th, 60th, 62nd, or 63rd minute The official goal-time will be taken from flashscores.com It goes without saying that the more often you predict in the competition for each game the more likely you are to finish top! Throughout the season, you may get a chance to pick your own TWO games to choose a First Goal for. These selected games will only apply to you, while the rest of the league for that round will have the games selected by me. This will only occur once for each person - you will be notified well in advance which round and dates this will apply for. This original post will be kept up to date with the rankings and selected fixtures. All you have to do is post the minute for each game in which you think the First Goal will be scored in - it really is that simple . You do not need to post which team, scorer or how the goal will be scored, just the minute! SEASON FIVE FINISHED - WINNER is @6666 RANKINGS after Game 140: -

Agreed. I can see Sinner or Rune being his biggest competition. I hope there is variety but there's something likeable about Alcaraz. Like there has been with Nadal and Federer so their dominance didn't become boring or unwanted. They were respected. There's just something dislikeable about Djokovic. Maybe it's his on-court persona and the reactions he showed like today - the racket smash, the moaning, the petulance. It felt right that today was the day for the torch to be passed over.

Yeah some of it goes way overboard.

Some of the winners he made were incredible. Really settled in the 2nd set and then it became a real battle, and a proper final. Really enjoyable to watch. Deserving winner. I can't wait for more titles from Alcaraz.

Don't mind this

Start of a new era and legacy!

Agreed. Such similar style. Think he trained at his academy?

Get innnnn! Alcaraz wins!

Djokovic smashing his racket. Obviously quite angry. Andrew Castle says 'that's alright' Bet if that was any other player he wouldn't think it...

I can't call this. Each time I think Alcaraz looks spent, he pulls out some brilliant winners to hold the game.

5 sets it is! Come on Alcaraz, find some more strength within you!
