Who are Portugal’s world class players in your opinion? Genuine question.

There are some pundits who offer poor to no insight but lots of personality and I understand why they’d occasionally get a gig. She brings neither, though. As you say she’s certainly not the only one.

Man U fans don’t even want Rashford at Man U, let alone playing for England. Unless you’re taking about Man U fans from ‘elsewhere’.

I do get the point but one is a legit open question that can lead on to a Messi anecdote. The other is just another stupid, factually incorrect statement by someone who doesn’t bother doing the research because her other characteristics keep her in a job. She’s like a parody at this point

Foden isn’t a LW but Southgate doesn’t have the balls to play him centrally or on the bench. Quite pathetic, actually.

Not a massive fan of Dunk either to be fair. Definitely the area where we are lightest. In fact this is probably the poorest starting England defence in decades.

I like Dan Burn but have a word. You need far more than mostly being solid to get picked for England. He’s a good defender but a poor footballer. You could never rely on someone like that to start in the latter stages so you can’t pick him.

Thank you for those lovely words.

Yes, I live in worry.

You’re an odd one, like. Lovejoy has been on here forever and doesn’t just make up bullshit.

Steve Bruce on Princess Street in Knutsford just now with 2 mahoosive bags of Waitrose shopping.

Wouldn’t wish him on any PL club. Will cost most sides 10+ points versus a good keeper and for most sides that a mediocre season turning into serious relegation trouble - assuming he plays all season of course.

I’d rather just sign for the best players we can for the money available. MG-W is absolutely not the best we can do and especially for £60m ish. It’s a Spurs signing that. No thanks.

Soule, Chiesa, Gonzalez, Tsygankov. None of them would cost anywhere near the £60m quoted for Gibbs-White. We’ve got to set our sights higher than decent-good players from shit clubs for massive fees because they’re English.

Realistically you could get twice the player for half the transfer fee on the continent.

@Yorkie Positive comments on Southgate? Meaningless game but that was abject.

You get excited by England losing a meaningless friendly? Get a life man.

Howe puts a lot of stock in having done it in the PL going from his own words. As you say though, much better value abroad. Isak, Bruno and Botman for a combined £130m or thereabouts is absolutely outrageous.

What do you say to people who see you as a North London geek?

Taking off the Newcastle bias it’s pretty obvious where most multimillionaires would rather live between West London and Newcastle, mind. Not all of them maybe but it’s paradise round there compared to living in Darras or Jesmond.

That gap is a product of Dubravka.

Tried hard and I don’t remember him ever being a twat except for that Everton pen. Will do OK in League One.
