I went from just thinking it was a question of how many would England score to actually being a bit disappointed we didn't win that.   

 

What the fuck were you lot up to?  

 

Better hope that proves a wake up call to Southgate.  

Will it fuck. He plays this way every.single.game no matter who we’re up against.

The one moment of quality against Croatia masked exactly the same problem.

Like watching brewceball that.

 

Fucking 

A bigger crime than Bruceball in some ways with the pure attacking talent this England team has.

One shot on target in 90 minutes against fucking Scotland.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we get beat by the Czech’s. We’ll limp through but whoever we face in the round of 16 will stuff us.

That was a fucking disgusting performance and exactly the reason why we’ve got no chance of winning the thing.

Southgate might talk well but his football is absolutely minging. One of the most energetic England squads in a long time and we turn up and play like that.

Scandalous.

Such a dour anthem compared to Flower of Scotland man.

Our anthem is dreadful. It’s never sang in time either

A testing schedule so far. 

 

Conference North - York

League 2 - Harrogate

League 1 - Burton

League 1 - Rotherham

Everything about us is amateur beyond belief. Didn’t think I could be upset by a pre-season fixture list, but Ashley’s tenure knows no boundaries.

Ugliest crowd of the tournament locked in. 

What would be the sexiest?

Sweden v Poland?
Russia v Finland?

How often do we actually get an early goal or two on the board? Genuine question, because confirmation bias tells me that we always start great but rarely take advantage.

Never. Although law of averages should mean that’ll happen eventually

I don’t think they play dreadful football by the way, if you want to watch some real awful football, watch NUFC…

Dreadful football by comparison to the other top five*
 

I wouldn’t consider NUFC’s style to even be football, tbh.

We were relegated with Rafa, but I was so happy to have him here. Obviously winning trophies is key, but it’s more than about just that or should be, as you’ve hit on, I wouldn’t swap the KK years for one single trophy, league or whatever, it’s about the connect more than the silverware! If Bruce won say a cup here, I’d still regard his time here as miserable compared to say Rafa’s time here. Pardew finished 5th, give me Rafa’s tenth over that for example. 

I get that. But Pep and Klopp would deliver trophies and fucking beautiful, succulent, delicious football.

There’s nobody in the world convincing me it’s normal for Man Utd fans to rather have OGS - who plays dreadful football at times and delivers fuck all.

What’s the point in being one of the biggest clubs in the world if you have a ‘happy club’ with a legend in charge, finishing 2nd every season and runner up in every final.

You say conditioned. 

 

I say I just wouldn't want to get rid of a club legend who has the club moving forward and replace him with a manager of our fiercest rivals. Not at this moment in time at least. 

You must be on the wind up if you’re genuinely saying you’d rather have OGS than Pep or Klopp.

Would be surprised if we don’t win this by at least two. If we score early it could be a complete thumping.

Is there anything legally stopping PIF etc buying the club from Ashley?

 

Obviously I know the Premier League could turn around and say we could no longer be members, but if Ashley sold the club to them regardless, I’d love to see them try and kick us out.

The risk would all be on the consortium though. They’d be spending £350m on something that would instantly become worthless if they did kick us out.

You’re missing the point, the PL will not want years of evidence coming into the public domain through CAT.

 

Everything is resting on the jurisdiction claim. The arbitration is not winnable in my honest opinion.

CAT aren’t going to release regular updates of evidence like  The PL will keep delaying CAT for as long as possible, the hearing won’t take place for a long time, if ever. 

And sadly, PIF won’t be around at that point.

Although, the update in that other case was a jurisdiction hearing set for November, which isn't very promising.

CAT was never going to happen quickly. The only route to the takeover is success via arbitration.

Otherwise CAT will drag on for months (if not years) and PIF have already indicated they’ll be gone by that point.

Forgot that we’ll go back to only having a few games on TV each week. It’s been bliss having every game live

City aren't our fiercest rivals, and I would be torn. As of now I wouldn't want him or Klopp. While they were at Dortmund and Barcelona I'd have desperately wanted them. 

Incredible  You must be the ideal supporter for the Glazers. Conditioned beyond belief.

Tierney and McTominay also and I think that's a bit harsh on the manager tbh.

 

Aside from that though I agree they are trash and we should really thump them.

McTominay isn’t great at all and I thought Tierney was injured?

Scotland are absolutely trash, I get people being nervous but this should be a comfortable win.

They’re a lower Championship team with the addition of Robertson and McGinn managed by someone most Championship clubs would be disappointed with.

Of course they might get lucky, but 9/10 times it’s a routine win.

Surely people can understand why Everton fans don't want Rafa? Even if they're being petulant about it.

Would they not want Klopp too?

It’s just weird. It’s not like Benitez is a born and bred Liverpool fan, he’s just doing his job.

Stepping outside any thoughts of subliminal Tweets, it's an odd photo and i'm not sure who his target audience is with that one.

Himself? Not every post is aimed at someone or something, the bloke is clearly an amateur photographer.

I heard a rumour today, not directly takeover related but to us it is I guess. Richard Masters may be stepping down soon, to do with things about the Super League coming out.

Knowing our luck he’ll be replaced with Hatice Cengiz.

Who’s Rob M? 

Based on this, I think he might be me.
