Been a crazy weekend.

Eels beating the Rabbitohs started it all off before the Titans beat the Sharks and Broncos beat the Warriors in NZ.

Storm beating the Cowboys 10-4 at the moment.

So our group at the World Cup next year in Qatar should be quite easy to navigate. We've been drawn alongside Australia, Chile and Romania. The sides are ranked 27th, 24th and 22nd respectively in the FIFA rankings. We face Chile in our opening group match followed by Australia and we finish up against Romania. Honestly we should be topping this group and winning all three games, but we'll have to guard against complacency. Before the tournament we'll play friendlies at home against Ecuador, North Korea and Republic of Ireland before heading out to Qatar.

An undefeated qualifying campaign and our place in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is secured. In truth it was quite easy, as you'd expect I suppose and we probably could have won all our qualifiers. As you can see Munir is scoring a few goals, he's bagged six in the six games I've been in charge, so it's safe to say he's my first choice up front.

We desperately need to start playing football for the full 90 minutes. Stoppage time winner against Georgia followed by stoppage time equalisers against Germany and Poland. Great not to lose games, but we're digging ourselves a hole and eventually the luck will run out.

Walters and McGeady need to be dropped, Long has to start whether it's up front or on the wing.

So I've taken charge of my first game as Spain boss and it finished in a 1-1 draw with Switzerland. To be honest we were quite unlucky not to have secured all three points and I'm sure it's the type of game we'd win once the side is used to my tactics. We put the disappointment of sharing the spoils with the Swiss behind us quickly though as we comfortably beat Albania in Tirana. Our next two qualifiers are next month away to Cyprus and at home to Sweden.

Did you resign as Manchester United manager? If so, it's a shame you couldn't win the PL w/ them.

I sure did pal.

Marched right into the chairmans office, jumped up on his desk and shat on it.

Disappointing not to have won it, but I guess the two FA Cups and Champions League win makes up for it.

As I said I felt really let down that the new board at Old Trafford even thought about replacing me so I decided to look elsewhere and when I did I found that the Spanish FA were extremely eager to secure my services.

The basics are that Spain are a giant on the international stage and won Euro 2016 and the World Cup in Russia in 2018. They crashed out in the second round of Euro 2020 after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Ukraine, but apart from that little blip they've certainly dominated international football since their maiden World Cup triumph in 2010.

I take over during qualification for the 2022 World Cup and it really should be a straightforward task to guide La Roja to Qatar. Two wins from the opening two games have us in a very good position, a 5-0 demolition of Cyprus in Sevilla in our opening game followed by an emphatic 3-0 victory in Stockholm against Sweden.

None of the big teams really need a new goalkeeper.

I doubt he'd go to Roma as it'd surely be a pay cut and probably won't win any trophies.

Apologies fellas as this will be a long update as I basically played through an entire season.

Right until the end we were leading the race for the Premier League, but then a horrible run of form in our final ten games cost us dearly as arch rivals Liverpool ended their long drought for England's biggest prize. Five defeats in our final ten games says it all really, a horrible run of form, not helped by injuries, but either way not really acceptable.

We suffered two season changing injuries in my opinion when Phil Jones and Adnan Januzaj were both ruled out for up to three months, goals dried up and we began conceding goals, a very embarrassing 5-0 thumping away to Huddersfield one of my worst days in the dugout. We crashed out of the Capital One Cup in the third round as QPR beat us 1-0 at Loftus Road and we suffered a disappointing defeat at Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Cup at the hands of our old foes Liverpool. We coasted through our Champions League group that contained Roma, Viktoria Plzen and Anderlecht. We won all our group games scoring 16 times and conceding just once.

We drew Real Madrid in the next round and advanced 6-4 on aggregate after winning 5-1 in the return leg at Old Trafford to overturn a 3-1 defeat in the first leg at the Bernabeu. We got Juventus in the quarter final and after beating them 1-0 in Manchester I was confident we could advance, however a 4-2 defeat knocked us out, a goal from Spanish international Munir with one minute remaining denying us a famous victory.

The biggest change has seen Ed Woodward and the Glazers depart after a crazy six month takeover mess. I've no doubt it had a negative effect on the squad as the season came to an end and there seemed to be one last kick in the teeth when new chairman Antonio Hernandez said he was considering my role during the summer. In the end I kept my job, but I feel let down and I'm seriously debating about moving abroad to test myself in another league.

Cashed that accumulator out as the Czech's don't look like breaking Latvia down let alone scoring twice.

$8 on Belgium and Bosnia to win and over 2.5 goals, then Italy and Holland to win.

Returns just over $43.

I went for a nap earlier and woke up about midnight with the Iceland game kicking off at 1am. Was on my phone and placing the bet for them to beat Kazakhstan. Swear I placed it, but apparently not, fuck

So bet for tonight will be $25 on Croatia, Czech Republic, Bosnia, Belgium, Italy and Holland.

Strange to say it but Italy and Holland are the results that I'm iffy about.
