Was the exact quote that triggered my original post. f***ing morose, monotone bastard. Bore off Dixon.

Thinking of starting a crowdfunder to send Lee Dixon into space.

England win tonight. I can feel it in my piss.

Unchanged lineup expected. Thought he might go 3–4-3 but it would have been hard to justify dropping anyone from the Senegal game. Can’t really argue with that. Come on England!!

Nice to see Rio Ferdinand channelling Fidel Castro.

It doesn’t, and yet it probably is.

Nope. Did not see that coming. Will go down in history of Holland win this.

It’s nailed on for Holland’s massive ‘keeper with about twelve career appearances to his name to get the equaliser.

I’ve only caught the second half, but the Dutch appear to have very little going forward. Pretty dull to watch, currently.

It’s happened quite frequently in this tournament; Argentina, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Spain, Portugal and even Brazil have all lost to relative lesser lights. Speaking anecdotally, it must be up there as the World Cup with the most seismic upsets. Regardless, 5th ranked England beating 4th...

Yeah, I realised once I glanced back at that lineup and realised my glaring error. In that case, if we went with that system it would probably be Bellingham in for Rice; harsh on Rice but I can’t see a scenario whereby Henderson doesn’t start this one. Here you go.

I think it will be an interesting battle. It’s easy to look at their front four of Giroud, Mbappe, Griezmann and Dembelè, coming up against the likes of Maguire and Stones and write us off. But then I’d argue we have the best midfield at the tournament along with the best number 9, flanked by...

Right, let’s go back a step and understand why the specific context I referred to is pertinent. In your original post which I was replying to, you stated (and these are all direct quotes): 1 - Southgate is a delegator 2 - you could name 3 managers better than him in a heartbeat 3 - a man with...

Unprofessional approach to squad choice. Total lack of tactical nous. Reliance on what players can do for him, above what he is capable of doing for them. Ok. And yet he’s done better than all of his recent predecessors. I’m not sure what’s wrong with comparing him with what’s gone before...

TLDR; I don’t mind Southgate In my lifetime, Bobby Robson, Terry Venables, Sven Goran Erickson, Fabio Capello and Roy Hodgson all had comparatively stellar managerial CVs. None of them have done as well in the England dugout as Southgate. Capello and Hodgson in particular were absolute car...

Both, is my understanding.

Found this thread very compelling when I read it a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had some professional dealings with gambling companies during my career and I’ve encountered many an unsavoury character. It’s not an industry I like. Well, I thought this was a pertinent place to post this question...

Yes. I can feel it in my piss. The bladder never lies.

Boom! Game plan. Executed.

Would normally fancy the more fancied, technical side in situations but this is what Morocco have wanted all game. They are already heroes back home. No pressure at all. Could make all the difference, that.
