I had a quick gander at the Greek Super League and I was amazed by a few things;
So many point deductions, but PAOK are unbeaten at the top of the league DESPITE Chuba Akpom (remember that tosser?) being a regular starter. :ohmy:
Madness.
Knockaert's assist was a left footed cross from the left. Simple, effective. Murray is a striker who thrives on service in the box and if we had Knockaert on the left and Jahanbakhsh on the right whipping in the crosses, he'd be deadly and we'd score more goals which would help the whole team...
I'm not sure if something similar happened after the last Euros, but it could be an interesting thread to bounce in 2 years time. My prediction;
Pickford
Alexander-Arnold Gomez Stones Rose
Henderson Dele
Sancho Maddison Sessegnon
Kane
I think Joe Gomez is overrated but I doubt it'll stop...
Opening this up to the wisdom of NSC, I cheaped out on travelling to the Isle of Man for the weekend by getting an overnight coach to Liverpool, arriving at 6am. Anyone got any ideas what to do in the 5 hours before the boat across?!
Any gem cafes or the like will be much appreciated, I know...
Why isn't he involved in the squad at the moment? Is it because Schelotto is getting paid significantly more? Rosenior really ought to be in the squad and on current form he should be in the team - he should be ahead of Schelotto and if Hughton hasn't been too impressed with Suttner, maybe...

ISIS transports links decimated after NATO hand Mosul contract to Southern Rail
The so-called Islamic state was brought to its knees this week after a calculated move by NATO saw...
Did the same job and delivered top notch set pieces, targeting their biggest weakness. A rare tactical selection from Hughton, brilliantly done.
What squad depth. What options throughout the squad. Just one position left to upgrade.

Ian Holloway's Championship team of the season so far;
Al-Habsi (Reading)

Lascelles (Newcastle)
Jansson (Leeds)
Malone (Fulham)
Knockaert
Shelvey (Newcastle)
Mooy...
Sky have included us in their whispers. Anyone heard anything? I like Russell Martin, obviously a Brighton born guy so I doubt he'd struggle to settle. Premier League experience as well as top end Championship experience, captained Norwich last season as well. He'd cover right back and centre...
The difference between someone of his quality and what we've had, even at this level, is significant. He is stronger than you'd think, quicker than you think and is an unquestionably good finisher. What a signing he would be, and like Kayal, he would be cheaper than he should be. He's struggled...
Have I missed the thread?
Stockdale 7 Didn't do anything wrong, nothing he could do about the goals but distribution a bit off.
Bruno 6 A difficult night for the team but especially for Bruno having to come inside and play centre back.
Goldson 6 Strong and solid until he went off, he's a big...
Like it or not, this was VERY cool looking!
I'm sure there are many who will dismiss this gesture but I thought it was very cool and helped their atmosphere generation. They were very good fans on the night, fair play to them.
Bring on the second leg.
So the dust has settled, let's review!
Stockdale 8 Pretty solid all round, made the great save - irrelevant that it was offside. No blame for the goal.
Bruno 7 Less of an impact on the game on the day, but solid at full back.
Goldson 8 Outstanding overall, questionable at times in the first...
Sometime next week? Longer term - yes it's good we're another game unbeaten, another clean sheet, good and solid against a fellow top 6 team, yada yada yada but seriously boring tonight. Negative, dour, miserable night at the football. Anonymous players all over the pitch, nothing up front and...
