Ferguson really makes things out of fuck all.
Apropos of nothing, perhaps it was thinking back to the likes of Kewell and Viduka, I got to thinking about Lee Bowyer and whether I was the same age as him [turns out he's 4 years older than me] but in the course of finding that out I see he's the manager of Montserrat. Odd.
lol Henderson.
Studs showing, straight into the ankle. We got VAR in this one?
Australia should be 2-0 up here. We are so bad.
The lady referee is going to be absolutely blowing by the hour mark. She's having to full on sprint end-to-end to keep up with the pace.
Bit of a shame that Mitchell Duke chance didn't continue the long tradition of English misery at the hands of Australians called Mitchell, seriously is every second man there called Mitchell? Also I'm not sure it's 'unlucky' Dion for Watkins to be missing an open goal but whatever.
Another cracking tackle from Gallagher, two feet off the floor and doing the old scissor the legs thing.
Dion sounds like he's smoked a reefer just before coming on air.
This Henderson and Gallagher midfield is looking fantastic.
Loving the ref's card flourish. Authoratah.
Unless he's got a trip to Turkey booked soon James Maddison will be full Lombardo by the next World Cup.
Rob Holding's hair is one of football's greatest comebacks.
Henderson is such a heinous selection. What is Southgate thinking?
As shit as we are, I do love Didi Hamann calling us 'we' and really giving a fuck. He's watched enough of this shit that he's angry.
Luxembourg with a reasonable chance to qualify for the Euros is not something I ever expected to see.
What the fuck did I just watch?
Sounds like I missed another Southgate masterclass in creativity.
I'l be fucked if I watched any of it but these quotes are great entertainment nontheless.

Part of the problem some of these people (Southgate) have with fan relations sometimes is that they have spent 30+ years of their lives on various trainings grounds keeping their shape for a very good living, and therefore have no idea how the fan experiences football. In Southgate's mind that's a cracking midfield duo due to how few mistakes he thinks they will make. In the fan's mind it's at best like watching paint dry.
Jassim pulled out of United bidding
The twat really has built a rod for his own back with his previous judgemental moralising on issues. You can't on one hand lecture an entire nation about human rights or sections of the England support on BLM matters and then act completely oblivious as to the major reason why Henderson is being targeted.Originally Posted by Don
Whilst I'm delighted we aren't being sold to Qatar, it is quite depressing that it looks like we're going to end up with just a minority investment from Ratcliffe.
Why would he even want a minority stake? If he can't raise the money for a takeover, why bother? It will still be run on current lines, and you will just end up being held responsible with no power to change anything.
Tonali being investigated for a betting scandal. How Italian of him.
Just watched highlights of England 9-1 Serbia. England very good, but my god a Serbian just passed it to an England player 5 or 6 times, leading directly to a goal.
Also, the gap in playing styles from the U21s to senior team is astonishing.
Sounds like there's some sort of outline for him to eventually take over fully, and also some reassuring stuff about how the debt will be restructured/taken on by INEOS.
Any idea of a team who play in all black kits and the goalkeeper kit is also black?
Well that would be illegal, so no.
There are quite a few German teams who have their home kit as black like Eintracht Frankfurt. Obviously the keeper isn't also in black.
It has a whiff of face-saving about it. INEOS essentially backs the club refinancing, and then, worst case scenario, they're just rubes for the Glazers continuing to run it into the ground, and the best case is that the club turns around off the back of it and its value increases. If the price/purchase structure was all decided now you would expect him to be able to raise it.
Morata is such a cock.
First team qualified?
Scotland
First team to be knocked out?
Scotland.
Can someone explain how Moldova are still in contention. They haven't got a single player that pretty much anyone has heard of.
I would think it says more about the state of the other teams in the group. Poland are dogshit these days.
Man, I'd love a couple of smaller teams to get into the hat. Luxembourg, Moldova ... erm ... Israel?
What a load of silly bollocks they've turned the game into.

I was looking at this this morning. Georgia, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan will have a playoff for the final place due to doing well in Nations League C. If anything was ever designed for someone to win electoral votes from small countries this was it.
Luxembourg are still in with a shout of a top two finish which isn't something I ever thought I'd see
The Sandro Tonali ‘I was forced out of Milan’ making a lot more sense now. They’ve proper swindled Newcastle assuming he gets a lengthy ban.
It's better we qualify for nothing at the moment.
I'd really be doubtful whether they'll even beat Gibraltar tonight. The whole squad must be rock bottom right now.
Feels like a form of punishment but I’m watching them again tonight. My 5 year old son watched them play Greece on Friday. He’s started his Ireland supporting at the worst they’ve been in my 31 years. Poor kid isn’t even going to get those few tournament runs and close calls that I enjoyed.
I'd be buying him an eggball and telling him to forget about it at this stage.
Have you fucks switched over to the North or something? 18 year-old generational talent coming through and a goalscorer too. That man will single-handedly decide the majority of games and drag your arses to multiple tournaments.
Doesn't work for Norway.
They're getting there. Were probably in a similarly dark era pre-Haaland.
Bazunu - not far off getting run out of Southampton and may not be heard of again
Kelleher - Lazy cunt too satisfied not playing at a big club to get a move
Doherty - long past done
O'Shea - turned out to be shite
Collins - turned out to be shite
Duffy - finished
Omobamidele - has made the worst move of all time and may never be seen again
Cullen - finished
Molumby - turned out to be shite
Browne - not worth a fuck and never will be
McGrath - same
Connolly - turned out to be shite
Robinson - done
Szmodics - might qualify next time out with Hungary
Johnston - piss and wind
Ogbene - piss and wind
Idah - never been any good
Obafemi - never been any good
That leaves Ferguson, Ebsoele, and Knight (who needs the next manager to leave him in midfield and stop messing) as actual prospects. Throw in Moran, who will be a player, and that's the lot. Not a hope of qualifying for anything until at least 2032.
All well and good against the Gibraltars of the world. We have Championship level workhorses supplying the bullets for our generational talent, not Damien Duff, not even Wes Hoolahan.
