ScoRoss

In Scotland, they've had to move all of the League Cup games to weekends and have scraped the winter break to be able to fit in all the domestic fixtures amongst the expanded European competitions.

Champions League and Europa League expansion taking up more midweeks, and aren't always in the same midweek. Champions League first league stage fixtures are the week of 17th September. Europa League doesn't start until the next week. Seeding is to keep the teams in different competitions apart. Otherwise there is no day available to play the game.

Doing pretty well without him.

Mourinho was in charge for 10 away league games this season, and got 8 points. De Rossi has been in charge for 2, and they've already got 6 points from them.

Last time he left Sevilla, he ruined Roma. So hoping for Villa's sake it goes a lot better.

Anderlecht coach resigns, so he can become Queen's Park coach. From Europa Conference League to the Scottish Championship.

What an ending to the game though!

Season is under a week away and the playoff format has yet to be decided. Not a great start to the season, and not a great look for the league.

Replacement incoming though.

We always do these days

Hilarious to see Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane squirming over Ronaldo being dropped. What's the point of having these awful pundits, when they aren't even impartial to what they are asked to analyse.

Ideally hoping for some combination of Iceland, Faroe Islands and Gibraltar. Fully expecting Sweden / Norway, Greece / Turkiye and Slovakia.
