Genuinely can’t get my head round how people stayed engaged during the Bruce years. I was helped by having a baby during that time so it made it easier to check out

I always think Rashford’s going to miss but I think the same about anyone who does the next-level stutter approach technique. Those top four are very dependable, I know Saka missed crucially in a previous tournament but he was a kid then and anyway, one miss doesn’t mean you’re a bad penalty taker. Of that second group I’d probably go Maddison over the others. Could see Declan skying one although his pen the other day was class. Doesn’t Walker sometimes get a pen in shootouts? Trent would surely be a good penalty taker

He does fit Man City incredibly well. Not going to worry about it, whatever happens we and he will be fine and I’ll always like him

Glad I left, it’s annoying not being able to read tweets that have some value but overall it’s been a net gain leaving that shithole

He’s among the most pathetic creatures I’ve ever had knowledge of. I used to hate Pardew more and I still find Pardew more unbearable in his arrogance but I think Bruce might well be a worse human being. He’s absolute scum dressed up as a Werthers Original

The only issue with that front six remains how to create the most opportunities for Isak. Bruno is excellent at sliding balls in, Willock can make a killer pass. Tonali, he should be able to but we haven’t seen it yet. Gordon’s not really known for being an elite passer / assister although I think we’ll see more and more of that from his game. Joelinton isn’t going to put too many quality balls through to Isak. If Tonali can come in and add some extra creativity then that six is outstanding. There’s still a RW to come as well

Can’t argue about being tied to an awful regime. Really don’t know what more they could have done working within the restrictions they’re working though

As much as I can’t stand Liverpool and a significant number of their players, I do really like Luis Diaz, Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk. Wonder if I’ll hate them less after the dickhead leaves

Also, putting Janmaat and Sissoko in with Owen and Duff seems harsh on the first two

Looking forward to seeing the interview, does it cover some of the barriers to him while playing?

Definitely a case of the arrogance of youth and financial success being present for his whole playing career really. Have warmed to him more post-career although I don’t see a lot of him

I love a bit of “serious questions need raising”

Great to hear he’s doing alright after the transplant. I find it hard to place how I feel about Dyer from his playing days but I obviously wish him well

Glad someone had the confidence to say what we were all thinking

Don’t mind the kid? Someone who spends the vast majority of their time making stuff up for attention?

Lovely management style, the players will be paying him back with their effort and performances for a long time to come

Aye, clearly an intervention. “Can you point to where Howe hurt you?”

Not read the article as I can’t cope with Barney Ronay’s writing style but it’s a bit of a reach. Ben White doesn’t even like football and there’s obviously something more to this story than just loyalty to his club https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2024/mar/14/ben-whites-england-refusal-shows-a-shift-in-loyalties-towards-club-football

An incredibly common sense solution that has seemingly no drawbacks, surely we have to lobby for that?

The rest of Europe must despise us like. And by us, I mean premier league teams

Oh dear

You forgot the British powerhouse Lampard who’s gone to new heights after his playing career

What the absolute fuck

Tonali is actually pretty quick. After Willock, he’s our quickest in the middle by a distance id say. Miley, Longstaff and Bruno are all snails

But the Everton fans said he was worse than shit, what’s gan on
