Fair enough on Trent but lots of pundits and fans wanted him there. Walker is good at RCB works well I think and the change to 3-4-2-1 has massively helped Foden. I wouldn't want him at the Albion either because he's an international specialist manager not a club one.
That is obviously part of it in terms of developing a production line of players and decent ethos. Southgate has fostered a brilliant atmosphere for them to operate in and of course worked with lots of them at Under 21. I admit he can be limited in terms of tactical ability (although in the last...
That is absolute rubbish. The 2002 - 2008 team was better than this one and won nothing, only ever getting to QFs. I also think it's so arrogant to think we should just role other nations over. England was on its knees when he took over and frankly, we are just not the big beast national team we...
One mistake in 4 games. He also saved plenty as well. I am not having a go at Dunk but he was at fault v Belgium and Brazil as well as some howlers for us later in the season. I don't feel confident that getting him in for a Quater-Final of a major tournament is going to end well.
I love Lewis but he's been prone to mistakes and Switzerland's front 3 are handy and quick. If it was up to me I'd play Gomez as he is left-footed and it might help the balance of the side a bit. Suspect it will be Konsa though.
I am voting Labour. I am not totally convinced by the Starmer version. Still, I hope we will return to some competent, sensible, and disciplined politics that might give the country a fighting chance of improving albeit slowly.
I think the country underestimates the collective trauma of living...
Rubbish, imagine if he hadn't gone to applaud the fans? He can't win. The fans were for the most part excellent last night, he acknowledged that and has consistently said we haven't been good enough. It's moronic to throw stuff at a football manager because you're annoyed at a performance.
However annoyed you are throwing stuff at a football manager is pathetic behavior. He's not trying to be shit. His response in the presser was remarkable really. He's a top-quality person and has the best record since Sir Alf. I do think he's limited as a coach and his time has run out (I hope I...
This.
It's utterly mad that people dismiss Southgate because he doesn't play swashbuckling football. I worry he may have gone a tournament too far but his record is 2nd only to Ramsey. The England team was in a dire state when he took over. Be careful what we wish for with him leaving because...
The classic "it's all the parent's fault". Over FOUR MILLION kids in the UK live in poverty. Those parents normally go without to try and feed their kids, even then all they can afford is the cheapest crap which is processed to f***. It's our government, big business, and ultimately the...
Because the NHS has been run into the ground by this government so no one is getting treatment when they need it and long COVID is being ignored. On top of that our mental health services are utterly none existent and the social care problems they promised to fix have not been fixed or even...
What a miserable thread this is.
We have a great chance of winning this. We've got the best-attacking players (apart from Mbappe) on the planet two of the best CDM and the best all-round midfielder. Our back 4 isn't amazing but it's not poor and there are few right-backs or central defenders...
Based on Journo's various articles?
You can be sure that Albion has spoken to at least a couple of the candidates on their list. They may have made an offer to one of them but I'd imagine the one they have made said offer to will be the one that is almost certain to say yes. They will have...
