Yesterday my dad and I made the drive to the Swedish city of Östersund for the nort Sweden derby in the Swedish Prem. My dad lives in a city called Sundsvall which up until this season was the only club in the north of Sweden to have a spot in the prem, but Östersund managed to get promoted for this season so now we have proper derbies up north. And the 2 hour drive is a breeze.

It was probably my best football experience live, 8208 people packed the arena and the weather and mood was on point. Unlike the Stockholm derbies, who always end up with people being sent away in cop vans and ambulances, the north Sweden derbies are fantastic. Supporters from booth clubs just hang out, sing, eat and drink together. Great mood all around.

Sadly Sundsvall lost 4-0, which in the grand scheme of things is fair I guess since they won the reverse fixture 5-0. But they played pitifully yesterday and it is a shame watching the team you root for lose by that type of margin. Both teams are sitting safe for now and I don't see either side get relegated so hopefully there will be plenty more north Sweden derbies in the top division to come.

Having watched the game, Fulham got off easy. Two obvious hand balls in the penalty area that the referee ignored

Pogba is not worth 89 mil but there you go, it is the state of the bonkers transfer market for the past 15 plus years.

One thing I would do is switch out Worm in goal. Worm is the spurs reserve keeper. So you might want to look at a starting goalie for maximum points possible

what about Everton's Robles?

what about Everton's Robles?

He's their new number 1. So he should be the starting goalkeeper going forward. He took over that role during the previous season and I have not seen Everton make a goalkeeper signing this summer to make me think Robles isn't the starter this season

The lone Atletico fan is here to say that Atletico will have just as good a season, we got Kevin Gameiro and Gaitan. Not the greatest, but they're young, well-seasoned. All they need is some of that Atletico push to get them into a well-oiled machine.

Atletico may not be good at ever winning the biggest games, but they are really good at taking young players, and seasoning them into big names.
