Pleased with the way Arsenal won the other day, still a long way off from being a title winning side. Deals should be done for perez and mustafi so something to look forward to. I think Chelsea will win the title.

2nd in the FPL with my team, first time doing this so I am pleased still a long way to go, could always go tits up.

@Declandimi and @Aphex Twin have the two top spots in the fantasy league locked down heading into the international break. With @The ReagMaster and @Legit Boss chasing in third and fourth respectively.

Kudos to the top four

You guys getting Perez and Mustafi should strengthen both your striking and defense as well.

Arsenal with actual good signings this summer.

Not a great start to World Cup qualification for us, but not a bad one, either.

A draw against Ireland is acceptable, even though I was hoping we'd be able to hold on to the lead for the remaining 20 minutes, but oh well.

 

[DylanTM]

Holy shit, you're Serbian?

Huh.

Anyways, Ireland had a lot of decisions go against them, but considering Serbia's dominance, I'm happy with a draw.

Tomorrow we play Switzerland away from home. Hoping for a win but I would be happy with a draw.

Yes, I am.

Honestly, I'm not mad at the outcome. A win is always nice, but hey, starting off the qualifications with a draw isn't bad.

I honestly thought Ireland would give us hell prior to tuning in to the game, but we pulled through, thankfully.

We had a toy about with Malta, which was alright. Looking forward to November so we can face England.

Yeah, was praying for Ireland not to score but eh, at least we got a point.

Sweden drew with Holland in their first match under new General manager Jan Andersson. I'll take a draw. This was a overall much younger, less experienced national team than the one that went to the Euros. We lost a lot of experience when Ibra, Källström and Isaksson retired.

But we played well considering the team we faced. We had to focus on playing defensively and going for the counter since Holland is a very offensively inclined team. We didn't have any friendlies before this so there were a few clunky elements. But those will get smoothened out with time and the team will get more in sync. I actually have not been this excited in national football in a long time. And there's a lot of support for this "new national team" nationwide. We're going through our biggest generational shift in the past 20 years. So this will be a fun team to follow and watch grow into something.

In the space of 45 minutes, the entire internet has decided that Zlatan, Pogba, Rooney, Mkhitaryan and Mourinho are all shit/overrated.

Sucks Man U lost to City, but they were the better team.

City had DeBruyne tho. Which made all the difference in the world
