  1. Would prefer him not to be sold to another team in the Prem, especially seeing as how we've not had chance to see him play for us first. Then again, I only ever want to sell dross or past-it players to our league counterparts.
  2. If we do sell Minteh, I wonder if we'll add in a first refusal clause on a future sale or percentage of next sale.
  3. Fucking Faroe Islands would be a tough game for us, according to Southgate!
  4. Good lord, I don't think anyone should die over a game of footy. Though I also don't think all England fans should be tarred with that same brush though, I seen much, much worse from some of the South American teams.
  5. Southgate's 'tactics' and setup are the definition of madness - doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome. It's clear as fucking crystal where the issues lie and which players shouldn't be on the pitch, yet Southgate just keeps doing the same shit. I don't think I've seen an England team with so much wasted potential or such utterly ridiculous play than Southgate's England. Total wank football.
  6. Seems more bothered about his questionable fashion choices than playing football, no thanks.
  7. He's also a top Kier Starmer backer isn't he?
  8. Hasn't he already though? Just the email exchange over him being tapped up is enough. You say he couldn't do his job, but it's experience and observation that are his key roles, he could pass any information garnered via an intermediary easily enough.
  9. I still reckon Ashworth is working for Man Utd on the sly already. Even if it's scouting or whatever, there's no way of proving he isn't and him and Man Utd clearly don't give that much of a fuck about getting caught out after his tapping up emails earlier in the year.
  10. It's a mistake, everyone knows it, apart from Southgate. It's like a worse situation of when Lampard and Gerrard used to be played in the same team, except now we're suffering in two positions while having a squad that could be so much more.
  11. Some players can play out of position, Foden isn't one of them and there are better options for the position he would like to play in. It was a waste of a shirt to play Foden imo, just another piss poor choice by Southgate, along with his inability to use tactics that play to the team's strengths.
  12. Fuck me, what a frustrating game that was - bloody Southgate's wank tactics, the mind boggles. We don't press enough, we're not aggressive enough, so infuriating to watch, we were lucky not to concede after sitting back so much, you wouldn't see any other 'big' team do it. We just don't have a killer instinct. On top of that, the insistence of playing Foden, he spent more time running around like a headless chicken and moving into the centre when he should be providing an outlet on the left. There's no place for him in the set up we played, should have been Olise or Gordon on the left. Fuck Gareth Southgate, utter dogshit manager.
  13. I imagine if those top 5-6 teams don't get their way they'll just up sticks and jump in with trying to set up a new European Super League again. Still, fuck them, fuck them all, we've been cheated and held back by the bastards for long enough, roll on when the Prem's stupid rules fall and their corruption is exposed.
  14. More difficult than I thought to put together a starting lineup for the tournament with who's in the squad. I think 4-2-3-1 is probably the way to go, but the biggest two areas of concern for me would be left back and who to put alongside Stones in central defence. That said, it was close for me on whether to have Saka starting on the right instead of Bowen, or Bellingham over Palmer in the middle - I know that sounds mental, but I've been really impressed by Palmer and Bellingham seems to have gone off the boil a bit recently. Let's hope a miracle happens and Southgate gets a knock to the head and starts playing more attacking, aggressive, pressing tactics... I won't hold my breath though. ... very tempted to swap Bellingham out for Palmer though.
  15. Now Southgate just needs to play to our attacking strengths instead of being overly cautious and we'll be golden
  16. Fuck sake, I'm turning this shit off as soon as the whistle's blown, don't want to see the smug, undeserving wankers celebrating, especially not that wrinkly old bastard Radcliffe.
  17. Well, this game's been a complete bag of dicks
  18. Whole game's been weird, maybe a bit 'too' weird...
  19. Less than ten minutes to go, enough time? Nah.
