Who is Folorunsho?
He's a fluffer, nothing more. Needs to step aside and let the alpha in.Quote:

I'd love a footie chat with Nigel Farage. We could agree that it was better in the 80s when proper tackles went in, and that referees seem to be getting younger these days.
Who's that? I do think this is his last hurrah but who do the FA court after that? Howe? Potter? Moyes is Scotland bound so we can rule that out. :drool:Quote:

It's probably Howe with Tindall and Jones joining up with him. I think the latter's already been part of the setup before. EDIT: He was Southgate's assistant briefly.
One of my mates is literally this. He finally relented and got into football in his early mid-20s. When watching the women's world cup about ten years ago he said "the American women's team would beat the men's team" and I had to have a gentle word. I don't think he was being performatively woke though, he was genuinely shocked when i explained even Lincoln city would beat the USWNT.Quote:

It is ASTONISHING how fat and old Rooney is nowadays.Quote:

Obligatory mention of the Hamiltons' world cup song
The reason nobody trusts him with their club is because he hasn't done very well and deep down people know that, but they struggle to reconcile it with him reaching a semi and a final. It's like the Lizzo being beautiful thing.Quote:

And the Saka substitution against France should have seen him executed on the spot for high treason.
The same nonce demographic trying to erase 'tragedy chanting' from our rich cultural fabric.Quote:

Actually, fucking look at this shit. A proper bottle job.
Yeah watching that I was thinking "Christ maybe Yev was right after all" :DQuote:

It was, but relative to the quality of other teams around at the time vs. now, not so much.Quote:

It's mostly that, having less interest now I've perhaps let myself be swept up in the current mania that this England team is somehow uniquely brilliant, and then you go through the squad/team and realise that it's just about the same, if not a bit worse. And then there's the manager.
Looking at the 90s-00s international teams, my instict is that they're MUCH better, but that can't be right, can it? Is it? I can never really work it out.
I think this current lot competes better against the big sides. We've still been helped massively by draws opening up in our favour. The mentality might be better around the camp, too.
There was a lot more virtuosity and 'football' then, now it's just hard running and exploiting space, for the most part. The modern teams would win in a match, but the older ones were better footballers.Quote:

Keown's not been impressed by Virgil.
Why him FFS?
Are we actually 3/1 to win the tournament? That is utterly fucking mental.
Joint 4/1 with the FrenchQuote:

Listening to Martin Keown tell strikers how they should have hit the ball really is quite annoying.
This match is balls and Poland are an absolute eyesore. Again.
Wout. :cool:
Big time player :cool:

He also did it against Argentina, and seeing as those are the only two games they've probably watched him play, it's what he does for them.
It was Ian Darke and Rob Lee so I would have expected better.Quote:
