Good evening, As I'm nearing my aim of having done most French grounds, I need to widen my range to Europe. In this vain, I'm targeting the weekend of April 6th where Bournemouth will be hosting Burnley and Southampton Liverpool. I think both will be quite hard to get. Bournemouth's ground is...

Anyone been watching this on Netflix? Went through the first episode and looks horribly generic. Just interviewing players and some fans but not much insight I thought.

Was made today. France were drawn with Iceland, Turkey, Albania, Moldova and Andorra. The top two qualify automatically and the play-offs is a big fat conundrum with Nations League group winners guaranteed to make a play-off. Not sure how it'll work but we will have a draw this time next year...

So that Dirk and myself have a place to air our thoughts for all to see. We're better (France are better than Germany that is not Dirk and me, I wouldn't dare make such an assumption).

Given the lack of games this early in August, this one is live in France. Looking forward to it.

We set off with a mate of mine to St Petersburg via Riga. As an avid groundhopper the plan was to do the Krestovski on the 15th, Spartak on 16th and Luzhniki on the 17th. Given that I booked tickets before the draw was made I got those tickets fairly easily. That means I couldn't attend France's...

What is everyone's opinion then? Southgate called up 4 goalkeepers and has confirmed that the place is up for grabs. If you were Gareth Southgate, who would you start? I'd got with Pope because he's playing for a side having a good season that has confidence in its strengths and weaknesses.

Died at only 36 to pancreatic cancer. Horrible news. RIP.

I know, relegation talk is better but I reckon we could use this thread to determine who of Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs will be left out. City have won the league I think so there are only 3 spots left for the much-coveted CL. Liverpool are currently in the CL and will be...

FIFA confirmed my tickets for B3vB4 in St Petersburg, E1vE2 in Moscow (Otkrytiye) and F1vF2 in Luzhniky. Will try and get to Kazan, Yekaterinburg and Kaliningrad depending on who plays there and when. Would like to avoid the 3 southern grounds. Anyone else plan on going?

Palace have enrolled the impostor that is Roy Hodgson (how hard is it to beat Iceland, seriously?) and are still without a point after 7 games. Will they beat Derby County's sad little record which is to record the lowest points tally ever in the English top division in a 20-side season? For...

Hosts: Russia. Africa (5): Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia. Asia (5): Australia, Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea. Europe (13): Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. North and Central America (3)...

We just signed him from Real Sociedad for 15M€. Apparently he played for you guys back in 2008/09 on loan from Tottenham (not that often though, he completed the grand total of 7 games for Cheltenham) and broke a Scunthorpe United player's leg. Care to share your thoughts on the lad?

No league is better represented at the AFCON than Ligue 1. So if you like your French football as much as I do (I know nobody does), get interested in what is one of the most boring competition to watch in the history of the universe. I do enjoy watching Ligue 1 but this competition is absolute...

Mine was PSG/Lyon. Me and a group of friends took the habit of drinking a couple of beers before each home game but with the game being a 9pm kick-off (I hate those!) and a bit of a title decider we came in early and drank for hours. The tipping point was when I had to drink in one go an...

The frog's contract is up in May. Now considering how boring it has become to support Arsenal (play ok, finish i the top 4, get dicked by a side much better than them in the CL 1st KO stage etc), it is my opinion that a change of manager would be the best thing for the club. However, if Man Utd...

Doing a 10km on Sunday. The good (or bad) thing about it is that I have to be a good boy this weekend and not get pissed. Already ran a half-marathon in April which was great. I really enjoy doing official races. Do we have any fellow runners?

I'd actually watch a fight between a ram and a tiger. Not sure if I'll be watching as I'll be in Warsaw with friends who don't really like football. Anyway. Looking forward to it.

Make sure you behave in the tube this time.

I'm mortified and stupefied, almost petrified to see that there isn't a an FA Cup related thread in the 2nd tier. Or is there? Where are all the Bristol City fans who back their side to lose 10-0 every weekend only to see them minutes away from a Premiership scalp at the Hawthorns? Why aren't...
