How can North Macedonia manage it and England can't? Southgate out, Angelovski in.

Wait are we actually pissed off people turned around a joke that got so disgustingly overused that I now actively hate what I once considered a fantastic football song? I for one hope more nations tear us to shreds over that shit.

Don't forget about giving back to football in a web3 format. An oft-overlooked positive of this brave new world.

Fair do's to Dinho. Never gives in to the HBA clique.

Ugh. Hadn't seen these quotes before. Let's not go down this route for the love of God.

Fucking hell. How have I either not heard of these presents before or forgotten them?

Mad that we're humming and hawing over Pogba. Who could've envisioned this day? January indicated a focus on players with a certain mentality so if they think Pogba will fit and work with Howe then I'm for it. We can try and play it smart in the transfer market but we're inevitably going take some early risks as we look to climb the table, whether it be taking a punt on youth with potential or giving vets a chance at redemption.

A good point. Although equally I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a way to see the money somehow once things settle down.

I imagine a top up to the coffers of 1% of his intended sale price is a lot more palatable than the drop in sale price if he let's them go tits up between now and any sale.

I guessed his triumphant return would be funny but not quite this much.

His trolling our fanbase whilst not having access to any genuine information from the new owners is the epitome of:

Ironic considering the weird little el vino nonce probably has himself multiple accounts on forums like this.

In all seriousness I wonder if a 6 month loan in League One next season wouldn't be a bad idea, hopefully with a newly-promoted Rovers. If he kills it like he has this season then try and get him a similarly-suitable role with a Championship club for the second half of the season.

Doesn't feel like FFP has been in place for a decade already.

Well if Carr says so it's time to recall him. Sorry new Gashead friends.

On the wider topic, does anyone know if there's been any kind of study on the stutter run up and whether it actually has a notably different success rate to a normal run up? Feels like there's more chance of the penalty taker psyching themself out than the 'keeper.

Send him wherever Brentford are peddling Toney iyam.

His lackadaisical posture in the last couple of team celebration pictures were very telling tbh.

Lee Clark in Sudan for a 51 day run is a mildly amusing thought but credit to him for taking the plunge and trying to keep his managerial career going.

Ironically one of the things Southgate's most praised for is the culture shift he's fostered amongst a national team that has often times seemed disinterested and detached from the general public. The pesky caring about the community is probably a big part of that. And as if he can't take an interest in social issues at the same time as being an international football manager . I'm not a great fan of Southgate, he clearly has his tactical limitations and I wouldn't ever want him in charge at NUFC. But I find it strange how so many people love to imply he's wasted a generation of footballers with World Cup semi and Euros final runs when the country's not had a sniff of anywhere near that for 30 odd years, including a previously-touted 'Golden Generation'.

What better way to evidence our frugality than to target some handy free agents?

I really hope he goes with the 'I was clearly talking about the fans' angle I've seen others mention. Force these rats to explain why their minds went straight to the officiating and not the party that '12th man' references 99 times out of a hundred.

I was an advocate for holding them back until next season if not absolutely needed but if they and Howe think they're ready to return for the run in. Wilson and Trippier with no match fitness should still be an improvement on a match fit Wood and Krafth.

Why can't English managers just not have such shit opinions?

Didn't know he'd headed to Mexico. Our Latin American correspondent @HTT II slipping, clearly.
