Sorry to ruin the ending, but a glakey cunt misses a penalty and we go out. Luckily he never had owt to do with England again after that.

Yeah I think that’s spot on. They’ve had Nike and adidas doing their kits and I think they believe that makes them a glamorous outfit - whereas the truth is that the big manufacturers do kits for clubs at all levels these days (adidas and Nike used to only do kits for big clubs). It’s showing them that their kit deals were perfunctory - just another club for the manufacturers.

Everything does now. They’re completely broken

100%. Which requires a good manager or coach to instruct him properly. We don’t have one.

Five mins? The referee is a sadist

It remains a mystery to me how someone hasn’t ripped the skin off their drum and smashed those fucking trumpets into smithereens

As much as I hate that Sheff Wed band who’ve been a fixture at England games for over quarter of a century now, I always laugh when I hear them play that absolute dirge of a national anthem we somehow still have, and a handful of bored punters half-sing along with it.

They should be thinking of the Cod War if they were propa Inglish and beating these

The players have already …

Fuck me ragged how did Iceland not make that two?

I’m not as arsed about seeing England win something as I am about wanting to be entertained. The attacking players that they have available should be entertaining to watch. Instead we’ve got the glakey bloke who failed at Middlesbrough telling them to sit back. Christ I really hope Brexit Jim makes him Man Utd manager.

It’s as weak a German side as you’ll ever see, and Greece are European middleweights. This is rancid shite from what I’m watching. Southgate has got by the entire time on the talent available to him.

Add me to that list. Hated the cunt after that. Completely unnecessary and showed his character.

I suspect that Henry mk II will want that no.14 shirt. But I do like a centre forward to wear no 9. One of the many marks against Owen was him not wanting the no 9 when Shearer retired

I don't think it is possible to be a Geordie and not love NUFC's no. 9 (as a position ...)

I am more than a little bit in love with Isak mind. Far more than an overweight middle-aged man should be comfortable with admitting to. He's gannin neewhere

I'm not surprised that the 'FMV / Related Party' nonsense has ended up being challenged - it always struck me as a more egregious and obvious reach of commercial law compared to FFP (though I'll happily stand corrected - the likes of @FloydianMag know their way around that subject better than me). I'm one of those who doesn't want to see an end of financial regulation and governance in football - I wouldn't want to see us to a PSG etc (and I also have my doubts that that would happen without shackles) - but what is in place at the moment isn't to protect football, it is to protect a racket.

We were ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool

No beans by the toaster either as they’re an electrical fire hazard. Health and safety gone mad

It's being a wanker, for me. Ask yourself - if one of our players came out tomorrow and said 'I really want to play for a big club', would your first instinct be to think 'aye, right on mate'?

Not sure if I'm alone on this one, but I never like players who are under contract talking about moving to bigger clubs etc. First of all because, well, nee shite Sherlock, but also - if they're interested they'll bid anyway. Brentford are such a well-run and canny club, don't like seeing this type of patter from one of their players. It puts me off more than anything.

Moocher, shurely?

It remains one of life's great tragedies for me that I was a football obsessive - and known as that - yet was at best 'enthusiastic' on the pitch. Even more tragic that I was always a pretty fucking great aim with my hands (basketball, bowling at cricket, passing with rugby) etc. Proper cunt's trick life plays on us sometimes

About half a million is what we usually sell tbf. We normally shift roughly the same numbers as Everton - but that is pre-takeover.

No, wages come into it too. So it might give leeway to sign a £40m player on say £125k a week.
