Has Fofana really done enough during the (covid-hit) season before last - being as the season just gone was a total write-off for him - to justify a bid of that magnitude ?? Bonkers.
The new owners post-Abramovich seem to want make a splash and show the fans they're serious by throwing money...
Re the shirt removal thing. I might be imagining this, but I'm sure I vaguely recall a (male) footballer scoring, removing his shirt, twirling it round his head, and then spending an AGE trying to get it back on again, because the shirt had some kind of internal "vest" netting that had gotten...
I've given up on the pre-match west coast trains. 4 carriages pulling up at Portslade absolutely RAMMED, with people having to force their way on...horrendous.
I've taken to getting a nice early 700 into town at about 12ish, having a leisurely pint and/or bite to eat with a newspaper, then...
Personally I just cannot relate to that at all. For me, the (mens) World Cup is such a seismic event, it completely takes over my sporting consciousness for the whole month that its on. I gorge on the entire tournament, with the England games acting as beacons on the calendar amongst the...
Nailed it.
Suzy Wrack on Guardian Football Weekly somehow interpreted it as Kelly pausing to consider the booking, and then thought "to hell with it". Absolute bobbins. She clearly paused on ripping off her shirt to look over her shoulder first and check the lino (and potential VAR), before...
On the whole I think the dickhead ratio in this current England squad is pretty low, there's certainly no one player I actively dislike - and even if there was, would that be reason enough to turn my back on watching my country compete ? Nope.
BHA have got some absolute helmets as fans, I've...
The drunken coked-up feral ratboys who sullied the final last year did not (and do not) diminish my ongoing desire to see the England mens team win a tournament. I've followed them all my football-supporting life, and watched every tournament since 1982 hoping the team will finally win something...
Did I enjoy the tournament and the win for the Lionesses yesterday ? Absolutely, very much so.
Would I swap yesterdays win for the Lionesses for the England mens team to have beaten Italy in last summers Euros Final ? In a HEARTBEAT.
What exactly is wrong with displaying national pride, particularly at a sporting event when it is nation vs nation ?
As long as it doesn't spill over into rancid angry spittle-dashed abuse of the opposition, I don't see a problem with it. What are fans supposed to do, turn up in grey suits and...
