There’s already a lot to talk about concerning the #WorldCup, so…
Welcome to my FIFA World Cup
2026 mega thread. Proceed with caution; I have opinions.

#MovieMonday but a couple of days early.
Song Sung Blue.
This is an exceptionally good movie. Moves a little fast in the beginning, but Kate Hudson absolutely shines throughout, and Jackman’s nuance to his character is engaging. Not the movie I thought it would be; it was much better.
4/5.

Man, that Wrexham train just keeps on rolling, doesn’t it? Absolute deserved victory over a poor Forest team.

Absolutely shocking behaviour but not surprising from an Arteta team. That’s how he used to play, and that’s how he coaches. Gabriel Martinelli’s behaviour with Connor at the end THERE embodies the arrogant, aggressive nature of his entire team. #LFC #YNWA #ARSLIV
Arsenal you diving, moaning pretenders. I hope this result is what means you finish second.

This game was absolutely winnable, but Arne lacked the cajones to bring on a fantastically talented teenager to score goals and a grossly underutilized Italian who can pull the defense apart. I’ll take the draw (Liverpool are the only team this season to not concede to Arsenal), but f*** me… #LFC

I don’t understand Arne’s hesitancy in bringing Rio on. He’s got the speed. He’s got the touch. He doesn’t have the experience. But that lack of experience could play in his favour - he will want to score to increase his first team chances. Come on, Arne. See the obvious. #LFC #YNWA #ARSLIV

Fede will unlock that secret other gear. #LFC
Whisper it quietly but it feels like we maybe have another gear here that I really wasn't expecting given the first half set-up and how poor generally we've been this season and the injuries and...

I’m not entirely sure that Forest were worthy of the win, but family bias makes me happy they did. Bit of a FUBAR from Alphonse Areola at the end there though. I’m starting to wonder how much time and grace Nuno is gonna get from the suits at West Ham though.

Forest had a bit of a zeitgeist moment last season. Not so much this season. Today’s West Ham vs Forest game has the potential to turn the tide for either team, so it’ll be interesting to see how each team shows up.

Putting aside my own personal schadenfreude at Manchester United firing yet another manager, it’s clear that Amorim was never going to be able to turn that ship all the way around. Radcliffe doesn’t seem to care enough for long term investment and wants a quick fix, but who’s next? Glasner, perhaps?

This is why Arne Slot is not the man for the job. Whatever mojo he had with Jurgen’s side he had last year has up and vanished like a fart in the wind.
The problem is…if not Slot, then who?

Liverpool have now only won 5 out of their last 15 Premier League games.

Yes. Yes we can.

Completely shocking half of substandard mediocrity from THE REIGNING PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. The team lacks on-field leadership (sorry Virgil, do better), and the ease at which Fulham pull Liverpools shape (if there even is one) apart is completely predictable. #LFC #FULLIV

To have turned a team famed for intensity, creativity & goals into a fearful group of individuals who spend most of the time in passive possession - after the summer ££ outlay is just staggering.

Dungeon Master: Liverpool, it’s your turn. Roll for intensity.

Today was also not the day to take Declan Rice out of my fantasy PL team. FFS. 😅
Today was not the day to have Alphonse Areola in my fantasy PL team. Wolves absolutely working over the Hammers. #WOLWHU
