Had almost forgotten we had a game today. Has bit of a preseason game feel to it for me with almost a new team who have never played together. No idea how we line up today. Some of players have hardly played/not played since May so are probably not going to be match fit. If game was yesterday would have been able to head over but not able to today but not as put out about that as I would be normally. Motherwell look a goal scoring striker away from being a really good side. This would have been a really difficult game even if we were playing well. oot Town Town Town 2-0 no Dons scorer

Finished 4-1 to Real Madrid. Bit of a procession in second half.

Vitor Pereira has now replaced Dyche according to SSN.

Spurs appoint Igor Tudor to replace Franks until the end of the season.

There was a while that there were a number of teams a bit closer to Barcelona and Real Madrid but this season both seem well clear of the others.

Real Madrid dismantling Real Sociedad. 3-1 after 30 minutes.

WTF is that.

Confirmed dates of Nations League games. I will try to make games in Slovenia and Switzerland this time.

Finished 4-0. Second half was ruined by 8 minute VAR check for the ref to eventually chop off a Barcelona goal. Killed all the momentum in the game.

Atletico tearing Barcelona apart so far. 4-0 at half time.

Atletico v Barcelona on ITV 4 just now.

For Nations league we drew Switzerland, Slovenia and North Macedonia.

Forest supposedly already in talks with Vitor Pereira to replace Dyche.

Think my frustration with this is that when you see how the model we are supposed to have in place works elsewhere the director of football is supposed to have the replacement for the manager lined up before he sacks the current one. It’s quite clear that this was not the case when we sacked Thelin. From outside it looks like we have only started looking after we sacked Thelin.

See they are forecasting snow for Sunday…..

Forrest are another club that any sensible manager should be steering clear of. Chairman seems to be trigger happy beyond belief.

Motherwell looked decent in 1-1 draw with Tribute Act. Better side and deserved draw at least.

Off

Franks away at Spurs. Not even given a year. You would think any decent manager would need to think long and hard about touching Spurs.

Yeah I will get my ticket for train until last minute. Will be stunned if the game is on.

They are calling it off 5 minutes after your train leaves Haymarket. Just accept it.

Como win 7-6 on penalties to knock Napoli out of Italian cup. First time Como have got to semi finals in 40 years.

Napoli v Como gone to penalties in Italian cup.

Hunbos snatch it the death. Another assist for Harry Milne.

Second half not been any better.
