Chelsea open world domination bid with victory Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez on target as Blues take care of LAFC in front of barely there crowd

My first Armchair Report - watching football from a comfy seat and I covered Chelsea's opening FIFA Club World Cup contest against LAFC. Check it out here:

It’s fair to say, after 16 months, Philippe has flopped. You can have that one for free #Rangers

Shouting down a microphone for the next couple of hours so you don’t have to at tonight’s Glasgow Clan game vs Coventry Blaze #commentator

Fairly sure Rivers of Babylon had more to it than that #BAYCEL

Indeed not

James used to get “Travernier” a lot when he first moved to Scotland from the media but it’s been “Taver-near” once they figured it out. It was when I heard you talk about Marcus yesterday I wondered. Do what you like 🤣 You’re damned no matter what

@barryglendenning.bsky.social Just wasn’t sure if you realised this. Anyway apologies for being “that” guy and have a great day 👍

@barryglendenning.bsky.social Morning Barry. Never wanting to be “that” guy, but I’m probably about to be. Marcus Tavernier at Bournemouth and Rangers’ James Tavernier are brothers. But when you talk about James, you call him “Travernier.” I heard you pronounce Marcus’ name spot on yesterday

Me getting use of the car park in work today because the boss is off and a couple of other guys aren’t in the office

Does this mean Michael Beale is out of a job again?

Doing away with the protection of “parachuting” into the Europa League and the Conference League adds a degree of jeopardy too which I like. If you’re not good enough, you don’t go any further. It’s a system that actually works well. It’s reinvigorated the competition for me.

Good to see some of the so-called bigger teams haven’t quite found it as easy to negotiate and have to play extra play-off games in order to progress. You can complain about generosity of fixtures and scheduling but you can only beat what’s in front of you.

I’ve always been intrigued by the new Champions League format and I have to say, I like how it’s panned out. Playing eight different opponents gives almost a “cup final” feel to each game because you don’t get another leg to turn around any deficit there may be against one team.

My hometown team haven’t started well 😬

I was going to do that, but then I saw Rangers vs Aberdeen is on lol

“We always do better at home”

18:01 GMT The balls have been emptied. Off we go.

What can you say during sex and also at the FA Cup draw?

Rangers line up before their match against Atlético Mineiro in Florida on this day in 2018

Not a line I was expecting from @acjimbo.bsky.social on today’s @totallyshow.bsky.social 🤣🤣

Could be a huge point for Man Utd in their battle against relegation #LIVMUN

In the absence of Scottish Championship football, which was postponed and having work to do, I’m going with catching up on podcasts

Rangers taking the piss out of Celtic by the end when they brought Cyriel Dessers on. Talk about rubbing it in

If Ruben Amorim somehow turns things around it could attract the attention of bigger clubs, such as Sporting Lisbon

I’ve never been a fan of James Corden but I have enjoyed Gavin and Stacey and watched them all through the course of the month leading to last night’s finale, which didn’t disappoint. Sure you knew how it would probably end, but a great finish to a terrific show. Well done 👏

One for the grandkids
