Ali J will have a point to prove.

You'd imagine he felt he had a point to prove during his time with us, but he didn't seem to get round to it!

Maguire, can't even make a failing Manure team. Our CB's nowhere near the squad, JOKE
Narrative is overly negative about Sterling - he's not had a great season by his standards yet is still Chelsea's top scorer (whilst being played at LWB, clearly not his position, good old Potter).
Mount meanwhile gets off scot-free with no criticism despite contributing very little of note this season.
Similar debates around Sterling prior to the Euros - he was then England's best player.

nothing wrong with Mount , at least starting him would show an attacking intent and lets face it , with slab head and skeletor at cb we need to concentrate on winning 7-3 today........not that im bothered , in the slightest.....at all.
I have heard that Kane has bottled wearing the protest armband. Hugely Disappointing if true.

Predictably, I’m sure he’ll look world class today. Despite how ineffective he looked in his time with us.

Without wishing to jinx it, the fact that he's in the team, tells you something about the quality of Iran.

Expecting great things of Slabhead - for Iran 
What's disappointing, although not unsurprising, is FIFA's stance.
The risk of a yellow card for Kane, before a ball has even been kicked, is too great.
Additionally with the Netherlands, the nation behind the One Love armband, already declaring they had backtracked and won't wear it, I'd be surprised if any country will be seen in it now.

Well played Alex Scott for the pitchside One Love armband 
BBC ticking all the boxes in the build up. That's alright then.

well....not that bad but seriously disillusioned with the whole caper.Seriously
But unfair on Kane - FIFA have said there will be game sanctions (ie yellow cards) if they wear them - it’s ridiculous that they can get yellows issued for kit non-compliance, it’s usually a fine. Several European teams involved and they have issued a joint statement.
England and Wales decide not to wear OneLove armband at World Cup after FIFA threat
Fans have voiced their anger after England and Wales said their captains would not wear OneLove armbands at the World Cup in Qatar because they could face an instant yellow card for doing so.
Well done to Alex Scott for overtly wearing it in front of the camera.
