This place really has gone downhill.

Argentina's team is too unbalanced. They only just managed to qualify, could see them being one of the surprises to get knocked out of the group stages. France or Germany my prediction to win. England will get knocked out by Germany.

This happens every year, someone posts the fixtures and lo and behold they are completely different come the release time. They don't get completely signed off by the relevant authorities until a couple of days before hand anyway.

He was born in England. Yes he identifies as Irish, but he's Anglo-Irish.

Why shouldn't people be proud of where they were born? Why have pride in anything, why have pride in local cities, local football teams? What do you propose, let's all compete as one world team, yeh? Why on earth you've mentioned Brexit is beyond me. I'm against Brexit completely but that doesn't stop me being proud of my country, or the football team.

Nope. According to their current squad, they don't actually have any foreigners. Not sure if they have any former players there though.

He finishes 8th in La Liga. Leaves, goes to England to join the team that finishes 8th. We end up in 17th, he joins the team who finished 17th in La Liga. I'm not someone who bets but if I did, I'd be tempted to put a substantial wager on Leganés being relegated

Given that Sky have asked us to wear a third strip because they deemed both our home and away kits to clash with another team's, perhaps the club have decided to make one anyway and wear it as and when they like.

Decent players on paper but no real team cohesion, which I think is their biggest issue.

15/16 by a country mile, at least in the Premier League era. Obviously you'd have to add in the two promotion winning seasons under Adkins as well.

Apparently Leeds want Marcelo Bielsa as their next manager! Could be interesting.

Three seasons, Pochettino bottled it in the cups.

I don't do gambling in general, but thanks for the offer.

Not too surprising really, Leicester's owners are smarter than ours. Puel = two top half finishes, Silva gets relegated at one and sacked at another. There is literally no comparison between them, it's like comparing Pochettino to Pardew.

Fantastic news for us, Everton is one club we don't have to worry about next season. Leicester are probably our biggest rivals at this stage.

And with only two years on his contract remaining too. Even half of that would be far too much.

Burnley seems obvious, although he'd probably suit Bournemouth as they are less defensive than Burnley.

Election

Spurs already have Lloris and Vorm, why do they need another goalkeeper? Makes no sense to me.

He improved towards the end of the season but for a large part of the season he was truly dreadful. Certainly not good enough for the top 6, so if Arsenal come calling, sell him quickly, there are far better options out there. Someone who can at least cross and we're onto a winner.

Went for Saints Mike. Very, very funny on Twitter.
