I'm glad I dropped Mateta: not because I don't think he'll have a good season - I think he will, which is why I've named my team after him (Hakuna Mateta) - but I felt he was a little behind preseason. I will bring him back in later.

VAR really had to let that Eze goal stand for the good* of the game. * I have Eze in my FL team

They're definitely my team...

Some good scores and a Maximum! Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): compo, Y, Lenny, Devil, DJ, BD, TB, 26th, CammyF, T-1000 and Ted. FGS (2 pts): compo, Stewarty, DJ and r_s Correct Score (3 pts): compo, Y, BD, TB and CammyF. @compo gets a Maximum! @Yorkie Bear extends his early lead at the top of the table. Latest Standings:

Fans say this about any player that plays well, and then wonder why we can't get a player trading model working.

@CammyF is having a night off.

They made their bed...

I thought you wanted Cantwell back in the team?

We've not had that spelling yet!

I'm pleased for the wee man. He got 9 G+A last season, so if he can push for 15-20 this season that'll be good progress.

Five minutes late - I'll allow it.

FGS Danilo

I doubled up on Everton defenders...

Well done, Dominik. Six points. I'll take it.

I watched the Mets-Phillies game in London (on TV - I wasn't there) a few months (?) ago which was quite enjoyable. Ever since I've been looking out for the Mets' results and watch bits of games on TNT. I watched Ken Burns' Baseball documentary which was really good. I like the history of the game, the stories and the characters you get, like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Robinson, Mays, etc.

Are you a Baseball fan, @Sutton_blows_goats?

That's a Szoboszlai assist! Gimme!!

When Salah assists Jota and you've went with Szoboszlai as your only Liverpool asset...

I agree completely. But, unfortunately, we still have to pay these players!

Absolutely. We shouldn't be giving them these wages in the first place and, also, they should sold before they reach them in the general increase they get for the length of their stay.

We don't have a small squad; it's actually a decent size: we have two players for each position. Arguably it's still too big. Last season's squad was unbelievably bloated. We've made good progress in reducing it. The issue is we don't have the quality in the squad that we need. That's partly the reason - the main reason being we're skint - why we have to sell to buy; one out, one in.

I don't have a problem with Tavernier's wages, simply because he has been here so long and has been a consistent top performer. Davies and Matondo, though...

I don't think having Cantwell on the pitch magically makes the referee competent.

Dafuq!?
