Baldy going full Frank Sobotka I see.
The succession of absolute dickheads vastly over complicating this job is going to be the end of me.
Dear Frank Lampard,
Save us from this.
They're trying too hard to build the team around Jude I think. Just put a football team out with roughly our best players and let him do his thing within it. That means that yes, you have to play Ollie Watkins up top, fucking deal with it.
Just popped in to see if Yev had written Carsley off yet.
See ya.
Sigh.
If we’re not going proper foreigner and we’re clearly not then he probably is stil the best choice from a bang average bunch, but seriously, what the fuck is this shit and what did he expect would happen with that line up?
I heard a pretty convincing case somewhere that they think Pep Guardiola is going to become available next summer and this is them delaying so as to get him.
Baldy clapping us going 0-2 down. Southgate lives on.
Pickford has been tragic tonight.
Saved by the VAR again.
Frank would send us tumbling out of the World Cup against a nation whose leader wears a colourful uniform and dark glasses, but it would be funny along the way, I'll take it.
Solid tournament football point is back on!
This defensive display is embarrassing.
Mostly down to the fact we have had literally no midfield for the entire match. You can't give 4 or 5 players licence to flounce about*. More if you count the fullbacks.
Is it not a back pass now if you are trying to score an OG?
* you can in age group football though, as it is so much less structured.

A win, an actual fucking win
Holy fuck. That’s up there with some of the worst defending I’ve ever seen.
Greece deserve that. By far the better side.
Today I feel Greek
The crockery of north west London is on high alert.
Fair play to Bernie Ecclestone, that tax bill obviously didn't hit him too hard.
And I agree with Scouse in principle that three games is very early to write someone off, but what the fuck has he been doing all week with them to create two shots on goal and then end with that absolute disgrace?
I want an England player to break ranks and just come out and say that they’re utterly sick of playing like cunts.
I'm happy to write off Lee Carsley purely on the basis that he's Lee Carsley, a bald former shit midfielder who played for Derby. Sorry laddo but that's just the way it works.
There’s ‘failing’ and then there’s that.
I didn't watch as I have no interest but it sounds comical.
To equate it to an average workplace (and from the 40 mins I watched) it was akin to rocking up two hours late, taking a shit on your desk and then falling asleep in it.
"It's unrealistic to expect too much."
- Lee Carsley, 2024
And then thinking in the last five minutes of your shift you can pull it back. And nobody would notice.
"We tried it for 20 minutes yesterday"
Really not sure what to make of that one.
Getting turned over by Andy Warhol's Greece is top, top banter. Gareth would have pocketed them without smashing a plate.
I ouldl revolutionise English football by playing a left-back at left-back. Would be nice.
Maybe it was a false flag operation by the deep s(ou)t(hg)ate to prove to the Waffelz breed of fan that just picking all the exciting flair players doesn't work.
Southgate was such a don.
It's coming home
Say what you want about Southgate but he would have won that game 0-0.
Southgate shat the bed in the Nations League, including a memorable 4-0 loss to Hungary, which is why we're in League B in the first place. It's only in Tournament Football that he really came alive.
@Shindig Gateshead lad in goal for us tonight. Not sure why he's starting over Keely, does he play for you lot or a youth?
Probably should have said a name in fairness. Tiernan Brooks.
He's a regular for us. 15 goals conceded in 10 games but 7 of those came against Dag & Red.
Was reading around this Yung Filly brouhaha and found this amazing sequence of paragraphs:
Nothing will ever top this, it's the most FA thing that could possibly happen.Meanwhile, the Football Association (FA) has cancelled an online cookery series with Barrientos.
On Wednesday, it had announced an online cookery series Barrientos was reported to star in alongside England footballers, including Bukayo Saka and Ezri Konsa.
The series was in collaboration with M&S Food, which the BBC understands does not have a direct relationship with Yung Filly, and took part in one piece of filming as one of the FA's partners.
I don’t even know who or what that is about.
I'm a twit
A rap-adjacent Youtuber got arrested for rape in Australia, hours after the FA announced above content bonanza.
Honestly Baz, you need to keep up with the hip-hop-happenings, you can't rely on me all the time.
Much like their binman playing eight forwards in one starting line up, do our FA really need to be doing that?
