It does feel a bit sad that we've lost someone who was so in love with the club, and clearly close to and loved by the players. A bit of that family feel we/they all talked about has gone.

This isn't any real barometer to set expectations by though. He's long gone, and people are well within their rights to opine that this summer has been a bit of a shit show so far

The real question is is this a deliberate strategy to look for players having poor seasons compared to their ability? I would argue no(as you allude to also) - it is simply the fact that Isak's quiet season allowed us the opportunity to sign him. If he had banged in 20+ again he would have had better options.

It might make the difference between having to sell someone this coming year then.

It's always the same posters with the same drivel in every single thread

Isak and Tino's body language towards each other on the highlights is quite the sight to behold. Frosty isn't the word

Sounds like he might be saying that his input/opinion carrying enough weight is vital. I mean we all know he wants to have a say, more than your typical Head Coach would generally have.

This season absolutely has to avoid the constant injury crises of last season. With no European football you'd like to think that is the simplest ask. What a start.

How Southgate manages to produce such shit football with such a group of talented players is quite the achievement.

I so wish that was gordon who had the opportunity to fire England to the final. But they have so much talent on the bench it's insane really.

Never a penalty in a million years. Kane should have scored the sitter and there would be no debate. Game on though!

Get the fuck in....it just had to be done didn't it.

Good news. Can see a really good season ahead for the lad

Southgate needed "a bit of magic" from one of his purples to scrape a draw to get to extra time against Slovakia Sack him at full time regardless of the result is what I'd say if I actually cared.

Has anyone actually been freaking out or are you doing your usual patter there though? A good player is a good player, quiet season or not.

This bitch is doing my head in - Sofal and Socheck ffs

Should have been the end of Chris Waughs career that line.

Pathetic all around really.

Think he's been drunk since December honestly.

I mean, VAR does spot the errors. It's just the dodgy fuckers choose not to see them when it suits the big clubs

Fuck did that not go in?

Seems extreme but there is definitely a conversation to be had in this regard.

Thought that was Ritchie trying to track back for a second there.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what does it look like 6th, 7th and 8th will get in terms of European football? I'm guessing EL, ECL, nada?
