Kid Icarus

I've always been fascinated by it and have watched it loads of times trying to get into it. I enjoy the hijinx but aside from the implication scene I've never seen why other people put it on the same level as stuff like Arrested Development, Trailer Park Boys, Community, 30 Rock etc in terms of it actually being funny like.

Diego's in a boy. He's saying Maradona is a nonce.

England were okay at the 2010 World Cup? Howeh, they were absolutely dreadful and you know it. Every match was awful, with that 0-0 draw with Algeria being one of the worst England performances I've ever seen. Euro 2000 was a disaster because despite beating Germany, we lost from winning positions against Portugal and Romania and went out at the group stage. Again the idea that on paper only Beckham and Scholes would get in this side is cloud cuckoo land stuff Seaman, Campbell, Adams, Scholes, Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Shearer, McManaman, Fowler would all walk into this squad, with the first 5 to 7 having either been initially picked to start, or pushing to start.

I still think it's mad like. In every other situation, the buck stops with the manager. It's generally accepted that if things are going badly you sack the manager, it's also imo generally accepted that you can't just get great players, chuck them together and expect it to work - any England fan who witnessed 'The Golden Generation' should be very familiar with this - You need a manager with an eye for team cohesion and picking the right players for the system rather than the 'best' players. But for some reason all of that's thrown out the window when it comes to England under Southgate. Southgate apparently has everything to do with England's perceived failures and limitations, but on the other hand all of England's successes have nothing to do with him, could have been achieved by anyone and have happened in spite of him, through luck, and because everyone we've beaten just so happen to be bad, even when they won the Euros, beating Belgium, Spain, and England on the way, or when they beat one of the teams everyone accepts is good. It's incredible.

Considering it's literally only Phil Foden from those teams that now regularly plays for England, no I don't mean them and neither do you. We've been through this before like. Thinking that these players are man-for-man better than the golden generation is still utter lunacy in my view.

The old 'this generation (that everyone thought were a bunch of nobodies until Southgate came along) are actually the real golden generation that Southgate's holding back argument.

Yes, are we not people like? AM I NOT A MAN?

Other people just think differently to you Rod. It's not a fucking conspiracy

10 men England winning 2-1 against Italy, in Italy for the first time in 62 years. Surely this is the end of Southgate.

Really good pressing from Gallagher

Pleased he's not going to Spurs like.

Did I not just explain like?

It's barely an argument tbh, if players play well for England it stands to reason that they'll get picked, if they don't they won't. This idea that club form is the be-all-and-end-all is the wrong way around imo. Look at Pope, undoubtedly the best 'keeper in the league this season, would fully deserve to be England number one on club form - comes in, immediately fucks up playing for England. So do you continue playing him because he's been class for Newcastle? Or play Pickford who's not been as good at Everton but has been consistently solid for England for years? It should be obvious, you play the player who plays well for England, every time.

Definitely Sterling, sometimes Rashford, Grealish was good there coming on in the Euros. Mount shouldn't ever play there imo. Foden's an incredible talent but I feel like he's plateaued a bit this season like.

Chiesa was so fucking exciting when he came on the scene like. It'll be a crying shame if the double ACLs have ruined him.

Foden doesn't really play well for England

I can live with references like this

You could have just guessed based on the way he goes on like.

Graeme Bailey. Total know nowt gobshite.

I think this is probably me just being a misery and not looking into it properly, but from a distance I find the whole fuss around Wrexham because it's owned by a couple of celebrities canny irritating.

Talbot and Bailey belong in the Twitter bollocks thread like.

Ah okay, so not on here.

Literally no one did like
