You didn’t want England to beat Spain in the summer? Interesting. I don’t believe you. I think you’re being petty for the sake of this argument.

So who do you support during the World Cup and Euros?

But they competed in it, hell, they were 15 minutes away from winning it with 10 men. Point is, they competed in it and played against the best of the best strengthening up their mentality. My overall point is it requires a perfect storm to win an international major. A player playing in the CL and Europa League gives you a better chance of winning it.

Exactly this. Did the exact same thing last season, too.

But their players played for the biggest sides in the world at the time winning and playing in the Champions League Lizarazu - Bayern Thuram - Juventus, Parma(1999) Deschamps - Juventus Henry - Arsenal Trezeguet - Juve Wiltord - Arsenal Vieira - Arsenal Petit - Arsenal Zidane - Juventus, Real Makelele - Real, Chelsea Pires - Arsenal This is straight off of the top of my head but I’m sure there are others and also relates to the 2018 winning team.

It was so fun I want to see it again. It’s an easy six points. We have the mental edge on them.

I can do whatever I want, mate. I support Newcastle but in Europe, I want English teams to win so England have a stronger chance of winning a major. The proof is there with Sevilla, Real and Barca, Milan in the early 2000s and their World Cup triumph in 2006 and Parma winning the Uefa cup in 1999 with a lot of those players in the 2006 WC winning team. I watch the Premier League week in, week out. I don’t watch La Liga or Seria A. I have an emotional attachment to PL sides, sorry, I just do.

Football landscape has changed in recent years so I don’t mind Real winning things as they have Bellingham in the team. He has big game mentality and that big game mentality translates to England.

No, of course not. I do want them to get promoted, though so we can thrash them in the Premier League and get revenge for all the wins they racked up against us under Pardew and co.

I stick by it. I watch the Premier League every week, know all the players, all the storylines. I don’t want Chelsea or Man U to win domestically but in Europe, I do. The Spanish sides won the CL and Europa in 2009-2012 and their national teams won the World Cup and Euros. Bayern and Dortmund got to the final of the CL in 2013 and Germany won the World Cup in 2014. Our English sides are beginning to get in CL finals and England are getting closer to international success with a semi, and two finals under our belt.

Those were awful subs from McKenna

Lovely pen, like

Thats not a pen

This ref is an idiot

Thats a pen

What kind of clearance was that from Bassey?

Yea. Sure everyone jumped for joy when Oyerzabel won the Euros for Spain this summer. Fuck England, right?

I watch the Premier League week in, week out, and know all the players. Of course I want them to win in Europe. The better the English teams do, the better the national team does. that Barcelona team is is full of WORLD CUP winners. I believe 9 out of 11 of them. That Bayern Munich team is full of World Cup winners. The Man U and Chelsea team with Rio, Terry, Lampard, no world cup winners, no international acclaim. You guys are the weird ones to me liking seeing Sevilla win seven Europa Leagues, Real Madrid win 15 Champions Leagues and then watch Spain win the World Cup and Euros. Go cheer on Spain the World Cup then. I like the Premier League, I like our style of football. As good as that Barcelona team was, they used every trick in the book, they were no angels. Chelsea were robbed that night in 2009, it truly was a disgrace.

Barcelona beating Chelsea in 2009 Champions League semi final. Loved Drogba as he was the antithesis of everything Barcelona stood for back then. The 2012 semi final second leg is one of my favorite games ever. Bayern beating Man Utd in 2010 CL QF - the Robben volley. Man U should have been home and dry but blew a two or three goal lead, Raphael fucked it with a red card. Rooney was on fire that season and they had lost Ronaldo and Tevez that summer so he was really stepping up. Remember him scoring in the first leg and then severely injuring himself later on that game. Also liked Valencia proving a lot of people wrong and contributing when people thought he wasn't good enough to play for Man U. Always want an English/British(so even the two Rangers defeats hurt as did the Celtic one, what a player Henrik Larsson was to take that team to the final and score two goals in it) team to win the European comps and Man U probably would have won that year - Lyon in the semi, Inter in the final.

That’s not a pen. Horrible decision.

He’s had a couple of easy ones too. Think it’s the speed and intensity of the game, players are gonna mistime things. Joe had a moment of hesitation to be 1 on 1 but the awareness to be there was fantastic.

Sup with Alex’s control today

Not looking at the table till the game is over

GooooAaalllll thank you Jacob!!!!!

Make this count cmon boys
