Groundhog day.

So happy I'm not dealing with that situation again. I would also be very reluctant to captain him with the threat of pulling up early or a red

Wayne Rooney played the last 15 mins for Everton vs Villareal today. Duncan Ferguson testamonial.

After today, I've settled on Santi as my lone Arsenal attacker for the first game.

Tekkers scores for pool. Serious 2nd striker contender.

Very worried about Giroud now - thought he was nailed on, but after today it looks like time could be split between Wally & himself. Back to the drawing board!

Had Ozil in as well but might switch to Cazorla instead - none of the Arsenal mids looks like must-haves today.

Sakho on the watchlist now!

Quality strike!

Unbelievable goal from Benteke...doesn't look like there's much wrong with him!

Assist by Payet I think? Starting to look like he could be worth paying 7.5m for.

Tottenham XI vs. Real Madrid (Audi Cup): Vorm; Walker, Wimmer, Alderweireld, Rose; Alli, Dier; Lamela, Dembélé, Eriksen; Kane.

Kane still on the pitch at 70'. He and Spurs haven't been up to much

Kane barely got any of the ball and spurs were very dissappointing overall. It's a preseason game and only a few days before an early morning saturday kickoff, so it is a stupid time to be travelling having preseason games. It might be that they were just taking it easy to remain fresh but i'm not too sure about kane now.

Spurs XI v Milan (Audi): McGee; Trippier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Bentaleb; Onomah, Lamela, Carroll; Chadli.

are they not 3-0 up from the first leg? seems odd to be putting out a full-strength side ahead of the league game

No.
He will prob play v Arsenal as Jenkinson can't play against his parent club.

It's a bit ****ing stupid on their part IMO.

"Lets do all we can to avoid going through so we can have a better season and hopefully, eh, qualify for the competition we don't want to be in".

I know they have the Olympic Stadium move coming up but bloody hell. Hull purposely tried to avoid going through and still ended up going down. I'd love to see it happen here too.

F1ngers

2-0 Mane

It looked like they played 3 at the back with wingbacks, I'd wager that if they play 4 at the back then Cedric and Bertrand (or Targett for the first couple of weeks) will play. Martina is Dutch though, so there is that! The flexibility makes picking anyone other than Fonte a difficult choice I feel. I currently have Yoshida and Targett on my team but will be definitely be changing it before the deadline, I'd rather not fork out the 5.5 for Fonte but will likely gamble on one of the others.

Rooney playing with his back to goal in midfield positions. Someone needs to tell him he's a number 9. He's also forgotten how to take a throw in. He has turned to absolute muck this season.

When an English player is singled out for criticism on MoTD, you know they must be playing very badly.

Based on this game, Depay is the one to have for the united game, especially if he drops in value. Rooney is anonymous and all the danger is coming from Janujaz and Depay in particular.

I'll be giving Depay another while to settle in. It's a big step up from the Dutch league to the PL.
