This might mean Brentford are World Champions by the weekend ...

I'd dig a little deeper on the supposed "safety concerns" - what do they think might happen if their supporters see a flag, however badly-designed it may be? Poor form from the club that they cave to bullies, then say it's not their fault.

As World Champions now, I think we're officially better than everyone else in the world.

Man Utd? He knows the club

Fair point, we have to consider our own mental health and wellbeing in this whole palaver. I wonder if Jesse Marsch might be up for it after the World Cup? His stock might be high because Canada's group isn't exactly the group of death.

Yes, I think they're probably too good to be a serious relegation contender, it's more important we get Wolves, Burnley and West Ham locked in.

Yes, perhaps someone who knows the club can have a go next, someone like Rio Ferdinand, I think we can safely say his future is not in TV presenting, so he might be up for it?

Yes, zooming out to the bigger picture, we need Wolves to beat West Ham to ensure the cockneys are fully in the mix, and therefore important to lose to Man U (damn) to keep them on the bottom, and perhaps we allow a draw against Brentford to take points from both - I'll contact the FA now.

Yes. This is my concern, although it depends who they replace him with, things could get worse, especially if the problem isn't just the manager

I don't care too much about catching them, they don't occupy my thoughts, I am mainly thinking of how funny it would be

Fun, definitely!

Also a result against Man U might look like a Marsch-ian false dawn and delay change

Maybe

A corrupt sycophant awarding a meaningless bauble to a crybaby bully - probably not even the worst part of that World Cup draw show.

Perri kicks with all the accuracy of a pinball flipper

They deserve to be there - let them suffer

Disagree, he got an excellent view of the goal

This is so true, and so frustrating and disappointing - but yet, still miles better than the Tories
