Too kind, thanks. But, yes, I have been around a fair bit.

You thought you could escape me, eh??!! Welcome, mate. Looking forward to a few debates on this thing called football.

Also how to keep a status quo is subjective, isn’t it? If you have tired players you replace them, I reckon.

We’re always wiser after the event, aren’t we? Besides one of the substitutes scored late on so I really have no problem at all with the substitutions. It was a great match and could have gone either way.

I can’t agree with you, I’m afraid, Dave. Fornaroli is not a 90-minute (more like 100 these days) player any more and Arzani was well and truly spent. Their threat was non existent after an hour.

Arzani was gone. He was so tired he could barely walk and should have been taken off earlier actually.

That’s right. I would have been similarly thrilled had the match ended 1-1 because I look at the general play not the number of goals when judging football. Today’s quality was high.

The @aleaguemen.bsky.social deserves better crowds, Rob. Ok, some teams are crap but the best sides are doing the business this season. I’ve lost count of the wonderful games and lovely goals I’ve seen this season.

Serves him right for leaving football’s biggest club and some of the game’s finest players for more money at a lesser club and modest teammates.

Tbh I was going to tip Inter for UCL but I think Liverpool might have a slight edge in speed.
