    Did the BBC quiz on which manager players made their debut under. Got 37%, aka crap.

    Was Neil Lennon in it, because that would a bit spooky woooo.

    75%, didn't seem that difficult to me.

    62% and I still can't figure out who managed first, Terry Venables or Glenn Hoddle.

    El Tel was Euro 96. Hoddle took over after they didn't renew his contract for being dodgy as fuck.

    Ohh I missed the Ingerland bit. Sorry. Carry on.

    I still don't really know what the UEFA Nations League is, but the Sweaties are playing a two legged qualifier in it and having taken a 1-0 lead away in Greece, are now collapsing at home in the second leg. Currently 3-0 down and good value for it.

    My take is that it's competitive friendlies, and if you do really really well it can help you qualify for proper tournaments. But I'm unsure if that's actually correct

    Yet another clean sheet for Sels tonight. Doubly impressive with Faes in front of him.

    When Gibbs-White is was dropped from the squad last week, was that just for Albania on Friday or Latvia as well? I was hoping to see him at Wembley tomorrow.

    My take is that it's a way of having more international games, with more moola for all, and fuck the footballers and their community clubs.

    Wait a moment, you led the charge calling me wrong when I previously bemoaned the amount of international weekends fucking up the domestic schedule. When did you decide that I was right?

    Think with Gordon going home, there’s a good chance he’ll make the bench, at worst. It was just the match day squad he wasn’t picked for.

    I didn't. Your argument, as far as I could tell, was that there shouldn't be international weekends, because only league football matters. Mine would be that having premium fixtures friendlies against the best sides in the world, would be a better use of the time than playing moldova home and away for reasons.

    All the Forest adjacent boys set to start for AoNZ in the World Cup qualifier against New Caledonia, who smashed* Tahiti while we battled past Fiji.

    *3-0
