There's a new West Ham fan at work who is surprisingly clued up about what's going on with us. He even knew about Charnley and Keith Bishop. Hopefully the message is getting out there.
What like a Lampard and a Gerrard? ...Or maybe a Beckham and a Michael Owen?
The golden generation
Hate they get called the Golden Generation, did nowt
The generation that made us hate the national team.
In two years we should have a good core. However we really need one or two spectacular players in midfield and attack to emerge. Sterling might come of age but at the minute there's just not enough star quality and too many similar players.
The Kane criticism is over the top. He's literally the golden boot holder as it stands. He was poor today no doubt, wrong decisions and way too deep but let's not re-write his tournament.
We exceeded expectations and I'm very proud of that.
However why is it both Newcastle and England seem to spend so much of the game passing the ball back to the goalkeeper FFS. The other team are always gonna press higher and with greater intensity if they can predict what you're gonna do every time.
Modric and Rakitic has been like the old Gerrard/Lampard dilemma. Don't think Croatia are a particularly balanced side despite having some world class individuals.
