By attacking intent do you mean launching the ball into the opposition box from anywhere in the pitch at any opportunity? At least England do actually try to play football, even if they’re not very good at it.

I’d like them to go out the round before England do. As deep into the tournament as possible.

We'd all take that if it worked. I just can't see it at the moment.

Replacing him mid-tournament would be hilarious, but it isn't going to happen. He is just so limited tactically. Bringing Gallagher on at 60 minutes (again) "because we needed some more energy in the middle". That's genuinely the sort of thing I would expect my son's Under 10 Coach to say. Was...

Because people MUST HAVE SUCCESS NOW

I think the problem is with modern commentators, and particularly the female ones (who face obvious prejudice for what they do) is that they try so hard to show how knowledgeable they are about the game with stats and facts and stories about the players, that they kind of miss the point of what...

I was thinking about starting a thread asking exactly that. I'd say he is OK for the moment, but if he hasn't found a job that is right for him by next Summer, he will be in real danger of the Curbishley Effect.

I kind of agree. I don’t think it’s awful, but the moment deserved better. I’ve never particularly rated Martin Tyler. Nowhere near as good as Barry Davies and Brian Moore were. That said, I don’t think Moore’s (I think?) commentary at the moment Michael Thomas scored to win the league for...

It doesn’t take any bollocks at all when you have a complete lack of self-awareness or emotional intelligence. What he **** he was / is.

I genuinely think that humankind cannot truly advance on this planet until we have eradicated wasps. I read a while back that if we didn’t have wasps then there would be twice as many greenflies. So that’s two greenflies I’d see a year then, I can cope with that. Make the stripey buzzing...

They are evil looking fuckers. But they don’t seem to be as aggressive as wasps. They certainly don’t buzz around your face repeatedly like wasps do. If they did, I think I’d be too scared to leave my house. A friend of mine got stung by one in France a few years back when we were on a fishing...

Don’t know. But I’ve often thought that famous Beckham free kick against Greece deserved a really poetic, and subsequently famous piece of commentary, and it didn’t get it at all. I can’t remember the last time a modern commentator delivered a real cracker, they just aren’t as good. I’m not...

Yes. I don't know why they don't have the badge in the picture online. They are virtually identical to the official ones.

Sorry, what? How is it a massive loss if you don't get someone you never had in the first place? Dan is as big a fool as Marc.

Completely agree. We have a completely outdated model that isn't used anywhere else on the planet. It's ridiculous. It's taboo to say it, but part of the problem is a lot of the people who work in it! When you pay minimum wage you get minimum wage quality. The administration side of it is so...

That's the thing - people jump to "Do you want people to die because they can't afford insulin like the US?". Like the only two possible models are everything free for everyone, and everyone pays for everything. As if there is somehow not a model in the middle somewhere that is actually designed...

And Brexit. The problem is, it seems completely taboo for any politician to dare to suggest that a health service that is free to everyone that was designed for the 1950's, when the population was 20 million people lower and people died when they got to 70, is completely the wrong model for...

Not remotely surprised. And another example of why the issues with the NHS run deeper than just not having enough money. I knew Ken as well from a long time back. Lovely guy.

I bought my two kids England shirts (and shorts) from DHgate a few weeks back. Cost £32 in total, including delivery. They are virtually identical to the official ones, and even come with the Nike tags etc on. Think it’s an extra £3 or so if you want a name and number on the back...

Seen videos of him knuckleballing them into the top corner in training. Frustrating he's never managed to do it properly in a game.
