Ha! Have you seen the record breaking benteke goal? From a Gibraltar kick off. Uefa needs to take a break adding "nations" for a while.

It was like park football when you were a kid.........

Still think we should have bought Benteke though.

Just to Martinez's incredible achievement into perspective, the Gib. goalie plays for Dartford Town.

Managing the second ranked team in international football to the Russian World Cup

Where did it all go wrong, Roberto?

Conveniently missed out the relegation and actual sacking there David.

Roberto Martinez got an Iranian billionaire's £7k size 9 leather Magnanni boot up his backside.

Enjoy your day.

When Martinez is leading a team out at the World Cup and the talk is all about how far Belgium can go, Moshiri will still be promising a stadium down the docks and giving us a negative net spend summer window.

And what's so wrong with the sixth tier of English football I ask you.

Any half decent manager would qualify belgium for the World Cup in that group, the acid test will be the first decent team they play in Russia, looking forward to him holding on to a one goal lead by taking Dembele off for Benteke.

I don't think the second best team in the world would need a manager at all to qualify from that group, genuinely. Look at Marc Wilmots, he's an utter charlatan and they've qualified at a canter for the last two tournaments. Qualification is a waste of time for the top teams.

That was said about Holland and their Euro16 qualifying group. They had (at that time rank outsiders in world football) Iceland, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Latvia and Czech republic. They came fourth.

The Netherlands are crap and have a crap squad, Belgium aren't and are ranked 2nd in the world
