Fuck it, there’s always next season.

Jesus fucking Christ.

If you offered me 17th now, I’d take it.

Why the fuck is the international break 3 weeks long? What the fuck is this about now.

[Mr_Danger]

Remember when Spurs used to sack managers for finishing 5th.

Apparently so that they can have less breaks in October/November by doing 4 games now instead of 2. Feels like nonsense but also I guess works as a little early season rest for those that don't do international duty to not have a competitive game. 

Germany have got it bang on the money by naming essentially 2 different squads so that they can have more of a break for some players too.

Now time to get the forth away at Brighton on Saturday. 

What was the score in the end? Did Arsenal win the Gameweek 5 trophy? 

[Mr_Danger]

I hope Devon got a refundable train ticket as I’m sure Gooner is fine company but the usual ‘We qualified for Europe’ celebrations just don’t seem worth the hassle tbh.

Arteta can console himself with watching that new The Daily Wire film that just came out.

I'm kind of sad to see Celtic falter in the way they are thanks entirely to the fact I really like Martin O'Neill as a person. As gutted as I was to see Hearts miss out on the league title, I kind of wish O'Neill left on a high at the end of last season. I'd hate to see his legacy tainted by what's happening right now. 

If he were to step down this week, I think his legacy will remain intact. I'd be sad to see one of Scottish Football's great personalities leave so abruptly, but...maybe it's for the best.

This will keep you going for a while. Try to build a team that’s scored 442+ goals in the premier league or 442 goals bang on. 
 

Got lucky on my fourth go.

Just pick Shearer and Aguero then fill the rest of the team with current Spurs players and you’re almost bang on the 442.

Got lucky on my first go so now I’m aiming for the exact amount.

Closest I've got so far...

I went one over and thought that’s as close as I was going to get tonight. But then

[RedTwoster]

Neil Lennon is inexplicably bookies’ favourite for the (not yet vacant) Celtic job. For the fan reaction alone, I hope this happens.

Quick tip on the game above - Dion Dublin with 111 goals also can be used a CB.

 

I got 545 on my first go but cant upload the image 

[TheBurningRed]

Yeah Dion Dublin is a great cheat code to be able to stick him at CB. If you get him and John Terry, you’re on to a winner from the back. Still not come across Peter Schmeichel for goal, as he’s got two (I believe)
