who would have thought it. argentina win the world cup and its largely due to a couple of brighton and villa players!

controversial politically but great footballing world cup. had mates that went out and they loved the atmosphere. also loads were going to more than one game a day, so the lack of alcohol and the stadia being so close to each also really helped. ban alcohol from stadiums at all future world cups?

not yet, but if i was in my 80's and we still hadnt won out, then yes.

that link thas was posted earlier https://true-faith.co.uk/board-stupid-ready-to-go-sunderland-and-newcastle-united/ i definitley think thats triggered this parsnip nonsense. also realisng some posts have serious racist undertones and are also full of hypocrisy.

i'll still go back the unbelievable decision to bring on an out of form sterling (who'd just returned from a traumatic trip home) before an in form rashford and maddison. rashford and saka have been our players of the tournament yet he hauls one off whilst he's still plenty to give, an the other one barely gets 5 minutes. and of maddison he said before the tournement “He is playing as well as any of the attacking players in the country,” Southgate said. “He can offer something different.” so when we were desperate for something different chasing a game, he brings on mount and sterling. yeah, yeah, but mount good pushed over for a penalty! and none of this is with the benefit of hindsight.

we really need to change our mindset. france spain germany etc etc would be pissed off at getting knocked out at the QF stage. yet we celebrate it like a glorious failure and laud the manager. thats 3 tournaments in a row where we could have done better. unfortunately no decent candidates as an alternatives to Southgate out there, unless we go foreign. i'd even take brendon rodgers.

ah, much easier option.

were they keen on him when he first arrived?

altogether now, "sunlun's a massive club"!

a third goal in the champobruce derby.

seriously though. a couple of my mates will no longer be able to make it. they had a couple of tickets right behind the goal in the leazes. i'm sure i can take them back to the box office this week for refunds. do they put them back on general sale?

not a fan of southgate but he's streets ahead of that egotistical fraud.

thats a real bummer, mate. can i have your tickets?

totally forgot about Cooper, will definitley be on the FA's list with Howe and Potter.

Potter might considerit. he may have underestimated the pressure and demandsof the chelsea job and my have less than 6 months left there.

i know, but analyse each of those games and he makes crucial errors. well, imho anyway.

got 2 years left on current one.

anyone ask him why he subbed saka ?

am thinking more about the mental side of things. intense couple of weeks and then an emotional QF knock out. or maybe they'll just want to get stuck straight in to get over the disappointments. whichever way it goes is fine as it will be Howe making the decisions.

think the world cup players will need at least a week off, and then at least a week of training to get back playing for us.

decent performance but thats about it. again southgate makes baffling and late subs. sterling and mount coming on - why when we have maddison, rashford ( i know he eventually came on but too late), and even a fox in the box wilson on the bench. we werent protecting a lead we were chasing the game.. and I bet the french couldnt believe their luck when he took saka off. he wasnt injured or tiring.

and thats exactly the problem with southgate's thinking. its never about form and what we need at the time. its all abut his favourites. sterling has offered little for the past 12 months.

apparently they are hotel staff and the squad have really made a connection with them.
