Theregulars

It reminded me of the Everton game at home this season, we were comfortable without getting out of second gear.

“Scraped through” according to impartial Leeds man Michael Brown for the BBC. Dipshit

You’d hope we complain about this refereeing team, made 2 massively incorrect calls which could have fucked us.

For me the question is do we buy a creative door unlocking player, or do we think we have that player on our books already?

The 2 matches against these raises an interesting point for me, which I didn’t think we’d have to deal with a few years yet: what do we do when teams just park the bus?

He doesn’t touch the ball and Zamora keeps him onside. Borderline mind.

Depay clearly talented, so on those grounds would be interesting to see what Howe might do with him. Don’t hold anyone accountable for not being good for Manchester United between Ferguson and Ten Hag, basket case central. I suspect it’s agent-driven though, but that’s just a personal hunch.

I don't think you're ready for what's coming! Another lay-off.

Genuinely it’s incredible the lengths people will go to - look at their essays for fuck’s sake - in order to get what they think is power and influence. Congrats, you just gave yourself a whole load of admin and massively cut into your free time. But it’s worth it because you’re francis deffers more of a fan than me! Legit thought they disbanded once club was sold, purpose served.

The missed penalty: it’s always going to haunt Southgate

What planet is this referee on?!

This could end up being a really interesting match

That’s a great penalty, well done

Second pen!

How long did it take to arrive from footyclassics? Thinking of getting my brother something from there for Christmas - 3 weeks in advance enough?

Argentina would have bitten your hand off to be in this moment when they lost to the Saudis.

I disagree. From the first minute you could tell they were set up not to lose. At no point did anybody break into a sprint

England played it like a pre-season match

Southgate will get criticised for that and rightly so. He set us up not to lose against an obviously inferior opponent, really unimaginative. Kane, Saka and Sterling outstandingly mediocre.

Their only tactics appeared to be sing loud and listen to Michael Sheen.

Keown: "we've got something to talk about suddenly" - it's literally your job to find something to talk about during the game you miserable antithesis to Darwinism.

Keown is an awful commentator. He offers nothing by way of intelligent or even halfway-interesting comment. "As we know with Lewandowski he can destroy his opponent". So many non-footballers would trade their mind-numbingly crap jobs for a stab at what he does and they'd work their bollocks off researching the teams and players and learning how to analyse sports on the fly, and would offer something clarifying and analytical to viewers. He's an absolute neanderthal, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing wanksock.

Absolute RKO

Can someone explain the offside? I just can’t see it

Reminds me of Jamaica’s first run at bob sledding, without any of the hope that it’s going to turn around. Stupid having them there.
