  1. In reply to an NUFC fan questioning Schar only being on the bench a kid on twitter suggested it speaks volumes of the job Howe's done and puts the "money" aspect in perspective. Schar bench, Bruno bench, Pope bench, Wilson bench, Botman didn't make the squad, Joe didn't make the squad. All major players for us.
  2. I'm on there far too much but then again I'm on here far too much but I remember, a few managers ago, when his name popped up and they were asking the same questions then. Was pre Johnson iirc. "Born in Consett" "is he a MLF" type stuff. Deja vu that thread there.
  3. Something like that but was it not 2 places and the two teams don't have to be even placed just outside the regular slots??
  4. Same qualification throughout the leagues but two places for the clicky invite. Just the two extra for the whole of Europe. I was being fasheeeshus about Man U and Chelsea
  5. Thought if was the same qualification but 2 (?) historical places for Man United and Chelsea
  6. Because I'm normal and a supporter of football' equality I want Costa Rica to win and wouldn't mind Bennette scoring the winner.
  7. They're not corrupt tho. Just greedy and, ultimately, shit
  8. I felt more "World cuppy" when a pal shared a video of a female Equador fan getting her chebs out during their game with Qatar. No idea where she is now mind ?
  9. I'd suggest, if Kane AND Wilson were crocked we'd go with a front 3 NOT the traditional England no9 scenario. We deffo have the players.
  10. Aye, I get that bit. It's just, when you look at the money they actually have spent, albeit not their own, it's fortunes. It's not even as if they've been properly shit just overtaken by 5 other cubs. 6 now, if you include us ?
  11. Man U "poet" on GMB haranguing the Glazers. I'm bemused why they're miffed tbh. They've spent a fortune, just badly in the end. I guess they're just a richer Ellis Short but reached the same conclusion.
  12. I thought it was a tad harsh hoying him on a 4-1 against them. Canny enough run out but they were broken by then.
  13. It's only one of our strengths if you're aware of it and embrace it. English exceptionalism is a strange trait considering our colourful history. Actually, speaking of the vikings etc did I read on here about a fair few Geordie dialect words like "yem" being Nordic in origin ?
  14. I don't think I typed out anywhere that immigrants to Scotland, for eg, have been universally welcomed with open arms. Of course they haven't and I'd hazard much of the anti-immigration within the Scots referenced in that poll was against the English moving up there in droves ? It's long been argued that racism emerging from the working class, much like the caste system in India, was encouraged and nurtured by the estsblishment. Divide and conquer and all that jazz. It was a mere 80 years ago when they didn't want Jews here, then the Irish, Black's, Brown's ad infinitum till here we are. Both parties talking about "invasions" to attract those little Englanders. An "Invasion" it has to be said that has been deliberately constructed.
