Those that have any interest in non-league, my boys Weymouth lost 4-3 at home today, but have made a really positive start to the season. I am the official online commentator so i have been able to go to all 7 games so far. As it's online radio it is so much harder to do a good job. There are things nobody told me, things that are obvious now i think about it (like commentating on your team getting beat for example) but i absolutely love it.

Barca looked great without Messi, Suarez and Dembele. Griezmann looked unstoppable vs Betis. I can't wait to see them together on the pitch. Unfortunately the same defensive problems still exists. The two middle defenders were caught with their pants down on every single counter attacks, and I think this is going to be a major issue for them.

Another win for Leeds at the weekend. Bielsa ball in full flow both full backs scoring. The move for the first goal was a thing of beauty.

Griez was on fire the whole game. Dude is a perfect fit on this team.

Loved that bArca played some youngsters. That Ansu Fati kid is not even 17 yet and looked like he belonged. Pretty excited about him. Maybe he joins the team full time next season. Perez was awesome too. He can be that 4th striker (unless Barca goes and get Neymar this weekend).

Dembele is frustrating with another injury but still wouldn't sell him this summer.

Can't wait to see Messi, Suarez, and Griezmann all play together. That'll be wild.

Bury have been expelled from the EFL. @waccoe1919 and myself have almost been in this situation with our respective clubs in recent years. We both survived thankfully, but it's absolutely heartbreaking for Bury and their fans. The EFL should be really looking into themselves after this.

Sad to hear about Luis Enrique's 9 yr old girl. Can't imagine what he must be going thru.

Hey 4ML and 190836...
Does Ansu Fati = Goodbye Dembele?

Still to early but If he continues to perform at this level till December - I wouldn't mind moving Dembele. It's clear Messi wants Neymar back at Barca and if Barcelona can swap Dembele + cash for Neymar...they should do it to keep Messi happy.

My own personal opinion - I think Barca should keep both Dembele and Fati and forget about Neymar. Neymar is a complete overkill with Messi, Suarez (who looks to be in better shape than last 2 years), and Griezmann.

I totally agree with 4ML. Also, if you bring Neymar it's only going to take minutes away from Fati and that could hinder his development. He is the future of Barcelona.

Guess we're all in agreement. Loved Neymar and the chemistry that the MSN had but that ship has sailed.

De Ligt should have been a higher priority over Neymar this summer. The # of goals allowed in 4 games is worrying.

Should be a good tomorrow against Borussia. Barca should come out with Fati-Griezmann-Suarez with Messi coming on for Fati if he's healthy and needed.

What a crazy day at UEFA. Liverpool loses so does Chelsea. Barcelona was very luck to get out of Dortmund with a tie.

This was pretty cool.


Among the top clubs - Bayern and Dortmund crowd is on another level.

Biggest surprise of Week 1 in Champions league has to the PSG thrashing Real, right?
