What's the insinuation there, that he's injury prone? He's only missed 14 games in 3 seasons and 5 of those were through covid and flu. Average of 3 games a season with actual injuries seems pretty good.

Pogba's told him to take one for the team. Ole out within weeks unless he grows a braincell and plays McTominay at CB.
John, our coach is hopeless hence the disgusting state of affairs you saw.
Ole out, Bruce in. That's the way we like to bin.
Steve Bruce trying to get his arguably superior Club Knowing credentials over, but none of the idiot players know where Sheffield Wednesday is, so he has to get Roy Keane and Gary Neville in to back him up and instantly loses them.
VAR has just taken LITERALLY 5 minutes and 10 seconds to allow Vietnam's goal against Oman. It wasn't even a close call... just fucking about by the officials.
Watching Faroe Islands v Scotland. The former, for a bunch of dolphin-killing 19th century fishermen with a population less than that of Dunfermline, actually ping it about quite nicely.
Sure they murder dolphins but they've probably got bad qualities as well.
Fishermen piling on the pressure. They also have an Ultras section behind the goal, complete with graffiti flag, which seems to number about 40 people.
Meanwhile in London... 1-0 Hungary.
With the players we have on this should, in theory, be interesting as we don't go behind very often.
Therefore I look forward to Waistcoat going five at the back and re-implementing the double pivot at half time.
Bring on a second keeper just to be on the safe side.
Horrible stuff from England tonight. I hesitate to say again, as there have been some decent moments this year, but fuck me, in the main we are so fucking dull.
Kane has been fucking piss.
Trouble in Torshavn is properly on.
Scotland struggling against the Faroes was as predictable as Scotland winning a crucial game against Israel in the last minute. Were they on the piss on Saturday, Waff?
Waff's favourite shits it over the line again. Relief.
The black guy left it, wouldn't want to be him in the mead hall tonight.
Meanwhile Qatar being pumped 4-0 by Irish Ireland, looking just great for them with 1 year to go.
That was terrible.
Ronaldo and Fruno Bernandes spanking the mighty Luxembourg.
Miserable. On current form none of the front three should have started.
This is the way of the Gareth.
What was the crowd trouble? Anything serious or just classic Hungarian racism?
If he went by 'Gary Southgate' would he have got the job?
Lyndon Dykes is such a donkey that it somehow works in his favour. Kind of glad him and Christie are banned against Moldova.
We’ll beat Moldova. Faroes are weirdly okay for such minnows. Denmark only scored around the same time against them too. We were fucking embarrassing though and the manager is horrendous at changing it up. We probably need a point against Denmark now to guarantee a seeded play off spot. Our record at home in qualifying games is quite good and we do raise our game in these types of games so more hopeful of that than i was of a good performance tonight
Well, at least it wasn't the worst thing I saw tonight. The John Lewis advert I've just watched has blown it out of the water.
Canada being undefeated so far in WCQ, including drawing to Mexico at the Azteca and to the USA in Somewhere, USA is going to make the inevitable 5th place, narrowly missing out finish all the worse.
Who makes an advert like that other than an actual nonce?
I know there are boys that don't go on to want to change gender that mess about with make up and dresses and you do need to "let life happen" (), but you can't make an advert like that without evoking transitioning and to watch John Lewis Insurance and Partners (no less) cynically exploiting that for commercial gain made me feel quite sick.
My wife liked it and tried to get me to come in and watch it, so I guess you/we aren't the target market [it being on during bake-off also probably a clue there].
I've just had the thought that Giggles and Kikó could have been like Roy Keane and Gary Neville if things had worked out differently. Maybe there's still hope.
Are you implying that their motive may not be entirely sincere, Yev?

I caught it after the football and before the news, so I'm guessing it's everywhere.
I mean, it's very well made, I just don't think companies should be commercialising what I'd imagine is a hugely challenging period in the lives of everyone involved and for long after too. But then, I am 41 and oozing white male privilege, so what do I know?
John Lewis (and whoever else) just go along with the advertisers, but a lot of this is cover for people wanting to bum kids.
I saw it during the GBBO break, and my only takeaway from it was 'if my kid knocked a full pallette of wet paint onto the carpet like that I'd chin the little cunt into next week'.
I think you're both being ADHD insensitive, he's clearly got issues chucking paint around like that.
I don't care how much they're playing the kid('s parents). That job is not worth the bullying.
