ive got a similar one in white but its paul smith.

loved it there. the eternal 70% off closing down sale.

not sure about that. maybe if you look at the headlines - but then go deeper into who we played and how we played and its different. he might have been the most successful but definitely not the best. very fine distinction.

the FA have been going on about how the national team manager job is more than just a coach. its also a figurehead for team england and the fa. think they need to rethink that as thats too much. the manager needs to focus on the team and the squad and not have to worry about representing the FA.

would love Brewce to get it and win the world cup.

paul smith?

do you remember some of the players he was using? compare them to the england squad.

not a good red. the rafa era version was better.

does he think he's Ali G or something?

he even told us that in his interview. "defenders hate playing against me".

apparently lineker had a couple of words with him after the game, to gee him up.

this true?

i'm old enough to remember the clamour for cloughie - and he was desperate for the job.

so thats either been practised on the training ground. or its been just desperate measures as they havent practiced patterns of play at all.

yeah, the "fatigue" line is baffling when he has a squad of 26 and persists with almost the same starting line up every time.

they managed to make southgate the highest paid international manager.

1990 too. 86 and 98 to an extent also.

we flying out germany tomorrow?

bollocks? which bit?

Off the pitch maybe. done nowt on it. bottled it every time we've played a decent team. 8 years in and still no idea what our system or style of play is. too scared to drop big names from the starting 11 and go with form.

kane foden bellingham saka mainoo were ineffective second half. walker was shocking at RB. crying out for bowen and gordon to come on. watkins and palmer could have come on just after half time.

more excited for the southampton game than i am for the final tonight after watching that. cannit wait.

we are gonna kick ass this season. i can feel it.

not with quality. not saying trafford is, mind.
