[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The DT have an advert today for their World Cup Fantasy League with engravings of four footballers in their national colours - Messi, Neymar, some obscure Egyptian, and the galactico from Belgium. No, yer silly buggers, not Kevin nor Kompers, nor even Hazard, but the lump from Trafford! Didn't we break another record by having more players from the club travelling to the World Cup ever? Fantasy is more and more appropriate for the RDAHMeedya!

It's was probably out of amazement ;-)

Hopefully it's a piece bemoaning the paucity of quality on this year's squad then.

Both dung and shinguard looked out of their depth - dung actually managed an assist for Raz but otherwise they were both very poor. Hope it all gels - but it is England ...

I see the opening day fixtures have been "leaked" by something called Sports Bible(?).

We've got Everton at home.

Well, I suppose anything is interesting until it all starts again, even made up stuff.

Oh, Rags away to Southampton and Chelsea away to Wolves are the others that I remember.

Hmm interesting. A new manager, always one of our more tricky opponents. Have you got a link btw? Cheers.

It was on a list of links I got sent, I deleted it. It was in the form of a screenshot. This is the link:

It also has both Bournemouth and Southampton at home , if they do insist on fake fixtures at least try and make look convincing as that is never happening.

Doesn't this fixture leak happen every year and every year it's way off the mark?
I know it's a bit of fun though.

Champions almost always get a newly promoted club i think so calling bullshit on the leak.

Yes. First game was Brighton away. iirc.

Listening to Sterling being slaughtered foir his England performance on Talksport. They have one reasonable voice on the show but she's totally ignored whilst they continue their seemingly Anti-City agenda. I just spent 10 minutes listening to them talk about Stones not being good enough.

Had to get it off my chest

The dive and him being late is newsworthy the rest isn’t.

It's just relentless isn't it? Talksport and the tabloids have been slaughtering Sterling non-stop for three weeks and now they have started on Stones. The best comment from Bob Mills was: "I am not interested in distribution. I don't want my defenders to pass," backed up by Dean Saunders saying: "The centre half's job is to head the crosses away."
How the hell can these morons retain their jobs. Why is Stones now being targeted? He was arguably our best player before his injury last season. He was outstanding. He played 29 matches last year and I don't think we lost a single one.
