Champions League draw is in. I reckon John will be pretty happy with Liverpool's group. Bad draws for Celtic and Spurs though.

Ill take it

considering Champions League, I don't see draws as good or bad per se, just varying levels of challenge

this is the best of the best of European futbol, we ain't playing Preston North End or Nottingham Forest out there

We have a nasty group.

We have a nasty group.

United's is overly familiar. They've played all those teams before in the Champions League, Benfica a few times. I've seen all those teams at OT before. There's nothing new there.

Gonna have to record the game later, I'm going to a beer festival of all things later today.

[TheInvisibleMan]

woo doggie

Liverpool is on fire today

[DebkoX]

And now look who they have signed, albeit for next year.

Ossie must be freaking happy.

Swansea are close to agreeing a deal to sign Renato Sanches on loan from Bayern Munich, according to Sky sources.

This is seriously getting my hyped! Sell Sigurdsson for £45m and sign Sanches on loan? Amazing.

[TheInvisibleMan]

interesting deal with Sanches....from Bayern to Swansea?

[WillieMorgan]

You spend the whole summer waiting for the new football season to roll around and then, on only the third weekend, you're rewarded with this enticing fixture:



International frigging football !

[TheInvisibleMan]

looks like Oxlade-Chamberlain is headed to Anfield (thanks Arsenal)

the Keita business looks to be done

just waiting on VVD, IF that happens

[FluffySheep]

How does everyone feel their clubs did in the transfer window? I'm over the moon with Swansea signing Renato Sanches and getting Bony back, but I hope they can replace the goals and assists we had from Sigurdsson and Llorente last season.

[TheInvisibleMan]

Liverpool did well, I think many supporters are unfairly crapping on the club regarding VVD

but I honestly think that was more Southampton being d***ks than anything else

they knew he wanted to leave, he put in a transfer request, he expressed that going to Anfield would suit him

[FluffySheep]

I think "player power" took a hit this window, with players like Coutinho, VVD, Alexis Sanchez etc. all trying to force moves. I say fair play to the clubs for making players adhere to their contracts. Sanchez has said he'll give 100% to Arsenal though.

[TheInvisibleMan]

Coutinho burned his bridge

turning in his transfer request the day BEFORE the season is ready to start, saying he wants to be left off CL squads

fine, sit and rot till Christmas

we loved you and you reject us, less than a year after signing a multi year extension

[DebkoX]

England are in such a bad shape.
