This is the weekly discussion thread for all things loosely related to football that may not warrant its own post.

      I didn’t watch all the matches or see all the goals, but from what I’ve seen it’s hard to look past Duran’s screamer against Everton. I’m not usually one to go for the long range efforts, but it’s rare to see that type of swerve.

        I saw that Everton just lost their four first game, does anyone know what’s happening there?

          Mix of poor quality players, injuries and sloppy handling of games/late collapses. Having to/choosing to play Michael Keane so much is not doing them any favours either. I do think they’ll survive in the end, though, buy we’ll see. They don’t have the advantage of three other astronomically poor teams in the bottom this season, unlike last time.

      Still on the fence with this format, I don’t really feel any excitement for these qualifiers. Feels like there will be too much leeway for the heavy weights to miss out on the knockout stages.
