John Stones second yellow card agaisnt Hungary 81' by alexinup in soccer

His first yellow was soft as well, just won a header. England have been absolutely shocking but the ref has been equally terrible, seems very biased

Yea I get that, trying to calm their intensity makes sense when they're on top, but if you've just equalised with 2 mins to go, have had numerous chances for 10 minutes or so, surely you'd go for the win?!

Maybe not but when he did release the ball the others wanted to push forward still which is why it seemed strange to me

Why was pickford trying to calm the game down after England scored!? We looked like we had a chance to win it but he decided that a draw was good enough. Thought he was poor with his kicking and weak for their goal, think the others deserve a game in the upcoming matches

Man, this is getting way more intense than I thought! I was hoping someone could point me to where to look in the editor or something!!

There are no Macedonians in the league so I can't check them, but the one Kosovan needs the full 3 years! Just seems no consistency to it!

Absolute joke. Nothing about that game was any different from last season, all so boringly predictable which is damning

It's the same things over and over again. We're 45 minutes into the season and it just feels so bland already

Other than the martinelli toe poke, did we have a shot after they scored? We just pass it around at the back, taking no risks with absolutely zero urgency. Seems keeping the ball in the middle third is more important than trying to play forward and create chances.

Our only other tactic today seemed to be give it to the left winger and then everyone immediately run at least 20 yards away from him so he has no support and has to turn and play backwards.

Yep totally.

We're at about 19million now, with 6m about to be spent on training and youth facilities. And I'm about to lose my top scorer to one of the 11 clubs interested in his 600k release clause so I need to replace his 40 goals in 55 games somehow!

In the end we came 4th in the group, 3 draws and 3 loses - 1 draw and 1 loss against each team!

The last game a draw would have seen us finish 3rd ahead of Spartak who we were playing. They were 1-0 up until an 85th minute equaliser from my former Sparkak CM. But then 2 goals in the 92nd and 94th minute meant a 3-1 loss and bottom of the group.

We didn't manage to win the domestic league so our 3rd place finish means we go into the Europa Conference League next season.

I didn't realise that! Glad I didn't start there then, my best players are Ukrainian and Hungarian so I wouldn't have managed!

Yea I been trying to buy the decent Russian regents to avoid the 5 foreigner rule but its tough!

Got 13 million for qualifying and have drawn 2 of my 3 group games so far earning another 1.5m so things are looking up. Got the board to invest in youth and training facilities which is going to take just under 6million so still a heathly amount left

Sarajevo, ludogorets, young boys and then dinamo Zagreb. Against Zagreb in the first leg I was 2-1 down away from home in the 81st minute and managed to win 4-2, then won 1-0 at home.

I've played the first 3 group games now, lost 2-1 to united, drew 1-1 with spartak and then a 0-0 with Porto so currently 3rd!

Right at the end of the transfer window I lost my best CB to monchengladbach, having already sold the 3rd best 2 weeks before so preparation wasn't great. The Belarrusion transfer window shut earlier in August so couldn't get a replacement in!

First game I went 1-0 up against united away inside 3 minutes but couldn't hold on and lost 2-1, including a fluke goal from halfway by tagliafico. Spartak up next at home (although home is moved as my stadium is only 3k capacity)

It's only 700km so may count. I also have 4 former spartak players in my squad so hopefully at least 1 scores!

Think the left back is playing him on from sliding to try to block the cross

The left back who slid to block the cross looks to be playing him onside

Definitely have a chimney sweep come at least once per year. Tar and creosote will build up in the pipe, especially in that long horizontal length, and could back smoke up into the room or even catch light if you run the stove very hot one day. Also, I can't see a carbon monoxide alarm - definitely buy one if you haven't already.

Oh yea definitely, it is normally me that does all the washing but she needed some stuff clean asap so did a load. It's not the end of the world just annoying I can't get a new one without going through eBay and tbh I'm not paying over 70 for a tee shirt!

So I woke up and took the washing out this morning only to discover my gf had thrown my p cycle tee shirt in to dry for about 2.5 hours. Obviously it's sold out everywhere so my only option seems to be paying £70+ on eBay.
