In reality, and definitely from now on, it'll be Monaco and PSG vying for the title like it is in Germany where it's really only Dortmund and Bayern who are the big guns that can compete for the title. Bayern more so obviously. Germany is ranked higher because of the profile of the players and how well the national team does/is doing. From the outside, and not that I watch a lot of the Dutch league though, Bundesliga is streets ahead of it. German teams are always more competitive in Europe. Other than Ajax last season, has any other Dutch side ever come close to winning a European trophy in the last 10-15 years?

my day today: Watch England v Windies til 1pm F1 for about half hour Watch the SUPER SUNDAY West Brom/Stoke game Cook something. Watch Liverpool vs Arsenal Bit more cricket. Watch AC Milan/Cagliari or Napoli/Atalanta Watch Real Madrid vs Valencia. Sleep.

I get 30 days annual leave excluding bank holidays. Can carry over a maximum of 5 to the next year. Every 2 years you work you get an extra day allowance. Maximum of 35 days though.

sometimes I do enjoy that just chilling though. Work can get ridiculously busy and if timed right, a weekend just lazing around watching some boxsets or series marathons on TV/Netflix is just right.

oh i thought you meant like 6 month travelling properly across Europe. I already do the long weekend thing . Madrid 4-day weekend planned in October.

Matty James has signed a new contract til 2021. Been like a new signing so far this season after his return from injury. He and Ndidi look a good pairing and if Drinkwater does leave, may not be so bad with ready made replacement in James. Also got Iborra to start playing when he recovers from his groin injury.

it's not that generous I don't have enough money to do that either!

I do this with my annual leave allowance from work. It's quite generous so my girlfriend and family always ask why am I taking a certain day or 2 off. Because I can!

agree with this. shocked Inter letting him go. Then again, Cancelo is a half decent exchange as a RB was needed for their side.

What's everyone doing this weekend? Bank Holiday for us in the UK so no doubt there'll be a bit of rain on Monday

reminds me of this I saw the other day

Could you not keep your silly arguments in the Liverpool discussion

good point.

People's thoughts on Chalobah's inclusion?

Full squad. Why do we go with 4 keepers? Hart shouldn't be there. How are Welbeck and Livermore still getting called up? Has Lingard even played this season?

Not said on here, but I've called for him to be in the England squad since last season. So not just since he joined us.

Deserved. Maguire called up to England squad.

Turkey and Netherlands

To be honest I'd rather have a keeper that can stop shots well than kick well as opposed to the other way round.

He can add Champions League experience to his CV.

Of all the league cup games tonight, I picked 2 of the 3 that had less than 2 goals in them. Typical. So yes, Fulham can well and truly fuck off.

Fiver on over 1.5 goals in: Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Brighton vs Barnet Fulham vs Bristol Rovers QPR vs Brentford Bolton vs Sheffield Weds Birmingham vs Bournemouth Leeds vs Newport Returns £20

Yep. Makes you wonder how many people they fleece who don't bother ringing and just go with what they're told.
