Irish press is next to useless

Good game for a striker with pace to get in behind, their backline is slower than the number 40 to chapel house. Is Watkins on the bench?

Sorry Cuba, just feels like years since i've enjoyed watching the national side, probably 2004 Euros was the last time Honestly just delighted Gordon got the start and is part of a functioning side, can only help him pick up after a rocky start

England look balanced, bright, quick, intelligent and totally in control, actually enjoyable to watch

As soon as I finished typing, I knew what would happen

Nailed on

More football played in that move than the entire Euros

What a goal. I knew Grealish had it in him

Grealish...still don't really see his function/effectiveness at this level. At club level, he stays wide generally, wins the FKs and passes sideways. At international level not seeing the point

Nobody? From memory it was Tripps on his own most of the time. Crazy

How much better would England have been at the Euros with Gordon playing on that left side man, fucking ridiculous

Looking sharp and bright, nice link-ups with Grealish and others

Some marking job at the back post there

Amazed to discover this is actually being televised in the US on FS1, curious to see if Carsley has put any kind of stamp on them early doors.

Hope so too mate. Funny thing is, a lot of my early to mid 2000 trips back were right around the middle of October. Definitely hope to make it over again soon and would love to get involved with a forum meet, even if just to have a few beers. Would be quite surreal to finally meet a few of you. Sorry to derail, this is a great event and I love to see it still happens. I'll be there in spirit

Didn't know Jon, in fact haven't met anyone from the forum unfortunately being a sad cunt that lives in the States, but this is one of those "wish I could be there" events. One day maybe, hope it's a great event for all.

Seeing the Everton score has cheered me right up

You should post more mate

That's an incredibly specific scenario that leads me to believe you may have attempted this before...

Good call

I keep seeing stuff like "Well it'll be Chalobah or Disasi on loan and that'll be it". I don't think even that is likely at this point, window feels like a write-off unfortunately. Hopefully once this damn thing slams shut, we can focus on having a decent season. I'm as frustrated and bored as anyone like.

Howay man. Pointless is watching us give up a 3 goal lead at home to Charlton, then trudge to Oxford a week later to watch us get humped 5-2 in the fog. It's been a flat, boring failure of a window but this team under EH will always be worth my time.

Fighting it mate, not gonna lie

It's hard to get your head around signing basically nobody, nobody that is significantly improving the first team anyway. Not even one major signing is hard to understand when at least 2 positions needed improvement.
