A good win for the Arse tonight, potential banana skin avoided...they should easily qualify now.

Fergie's plan to field a second string against the Huns could backfire even further tomorrow night, Valencia looking good domestically...will be happy with a draw. Spurs need a win against the 'weakest' team in their group and hopefully they'll achieve that.

A highly entertaining game at Elland Road in the Championship last night - at least for the neutrals.


After going 0-1 down to local(ish) rivals, Preston, Leeds romped into a 4-1 lead only to be pegged back to 4-2 before half-time. 6 goals in 45 minutes is good but after the break, galvinised by a father-inspired rant from manager Darren Ferguson, Preston stormed back with another 4 goals to win 4-6.


As a Leeds fan I'm disappointed with result but can't help look on in disabelief at such a scoreline. Concede six goals at home? Lose a three goal lead? Score 4 and not win? I can't decide which is more ridiculous.


On an aside, I'm saddened but not surprised that ex-Leeds star Jermaine Beckford is making little impact at Everton bar a penalty miss against Brentford. He's got an eye for goal but lacks the refinement needed in the Premier League.

Jeez! That must have been fun to watch but not if you're a Leeds fan obviously. I think you're absolutely spot on about Beckford. I know it's early days but I can't see him making that step up in class. His first touch is poor and will prove to be a very poor investment for Everton.
Defensive frailities glaringly obvious again last night despite the scoreline. Rooney out for 3 weeks as aresult of an "injury". Hmmm, only the most cynical among us would think that it will also allow some time for the dust to settle of his domestic issues and that there is no "injury" at all.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has backed Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce's claims that he could manage one of continental Europe's top sides. "How do people know that if he was given the AC Milan job he couldn't do a better job than anybody else?" he asked.


Delusional or what.

Probably too early to judge Beckford, he looks like he needs to feed off another striker a la Yakubu, but the Toffees aren't playing that type of system, their gameplan is built around the passing strengths of Pienaar, Arteta and Cahill which is understandable..he put in a good shift against Utd in the Cup and scored a good goal I grudgingly seem to remember :X
I think we're all agreed that the sadly deluded Sam Allardyce's brand of football is Neanderthal. I don't think he'd last five minutes in any of those jobs he yearns for. If he's as good as he thinks he is then why hasn't got one of those top jobs. He thought he'd hit the big time when he went to Newcastle United. Didn't last long there Sam did you.
So what would improve MOTD? I think we need presenters/pundits to put forward much more in depth analysis, rather than the bland, "yeah he made some good runs", and all on the sofa nodding sagely when one of them shares their wisdom with us. How about putting a more challeging view poiint across to us, the audience, and perhaps the pundits actually disagreeing with each other and having enough intelligence to say why they disagree. As most of these guys are former footballers who've played at a very high level, surely they have far more to contribute than they do currently?

They need to mix it up a bit, far too stale. MOTD2 worked better with one-off guests (haven't seen it this season, so presume they still have the same format only without Mr Glum).

I quite enjoy Lee Dixon's input, so would prefer to see more of him than Shearer who is out of his depth on tactical analysis, but someone needs to tell 'Dicko' that slim fit shirts aren't a good look on a middle aged man slouched on a sofa. The editing leaves a lot to be desired too...

    • Direct link (sorry duplicated!):  Today, more than 30 states from around the world will gather in Bogotá, Colombia, for the “Emergency Conference” to halt the Gaza genocide: the most ambitious multilateral response since Israel began its campaign of devastation two years ago. Bringing together a broad coalition of governments — from Algeria to Brazil, China to Spain, Indonesia to Qatar — the conference aims, in the words of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, “to move from condemnation to collective action.” At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London and 17:30 Paris, we invite you to join this historic gathering's opening ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will hear testimony from Dr. Thaer Ahmed, who will recount his experience of working in Rafah and Khan Younis amidst Israel’s genocide. Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, will detail her government’s concrete commitments to uphold international law. After she was sanctioned by the Trump administration, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese will deliver a powerful message about the failure of the international system to protect the Palestinian people — and urge immediate and coordinated action by principled states. “Here in Bogotá, a growing number of states have the opportunity to break the silence and revert to a path of legality by finally saying: enough. Enough impunity. Enough empty rhetoric. Enough exceptionalism. Enough complicity,” Albanese will say. Today, the call from Bogotá will echo around the world. Join us. In solidarity,  The Progressive International Secretariat
