I never noticed how tiny Ryan Fraser is. But his head is massive.

We had two very good games with a squad hampered by some key injuries. Good to see we didn’t fall to pieces when missing a few players and both the performances and results were promising for the redt of the campaign.
Wouldn’t have thought it was possible to look forward to international breaks like this.
Aguero leaving City at end of the season. A bit injury prone but he’d do a job for most teams. Will probably sign for Barcelona and forever be injured
Steve Bruce should be round there with a bucket of KFC and a fishing rod. And a Sports Direct mug.
This Aguero statue is a bit odd.
Apart from Bernard Manning who else can they put up?
Cut the pretence and just put a 100ft statue of Sheikh Monsoor up.

Here's a dumb thing. James Coppinger's name is blanked out at points during this, as if they're trying to set up a grand reveal at the end. Even though it's full of pictures of James playing.

I think it's the fact that he's still an active player that makes it odd.
Better statue candidates are available I think.
Aguero / Quinn
Height: short / tall
Goals: loads / some
Supplying creator: Kevin De Bruyne / Ian Brightwell
Famous relative: Maradona / none
Gypo status: confirmed / debatable
Ability to flick the long, straight ball on for a diminutive strike partner: minimal / TOTAL PROWESS
World Cup goals vs Holland: 0 / 1
Open and shut. Get the statue up.
Isn't there already an excellent statue of Niall Quinn on Madeira that can never be improved upon?
Yeah, building one of Quinn is probably their best chance of getting one that looks a bit like Aguero.
@Lewis your man Claude passed away. He looked like he was a walking heart attack for the last few years.
Suicide by sounds of it. Christ.

Only two days ago, Callegari tweeted in response to a critic of his media work: 'No one is forcing you to watch it.
'Don't worry I will disappear soon to see my mother then you can all be happy.'
He always looked terribly ill. Top, top ethics from Robbie to exploit him for ages and then chuck him under the bus for saying 'DVD'.
Close one, this.

Stick a city kit on her and call it done.
Aguero's probably not that much taller than her to be fair, it could work.
Don't the people who do these sort of things have any cringe reflex at all? It's like when Hull gave a degree to Pierluigi Collina and the shameless freak came and accepted it.

That's the spirit, Aidy.
He's right though. We make no effort to pick the strongest possible team. Presumably Alexander-Arnold would still be eligible for that, and he's not even in the senior squad. Maybe it's the right way, it's certainly the way to turn your young players into Billy Big Bollockses before they are even 20. Other countries, like Spain and France, seem to pick players until the absolute limit of the eligibility, and often the strongest possible squads, and what does it get them at full international level?
It's impossible if you're expecting to be close to winning every time, sure. But then outside Spain and Germany nobody does that, nobody's even really getting to the semis that consistently, it's pretty fluid as you might expect.
I don't think it's impossible to not be abject and aim for more than one point out of the five group games he's overseen so far. From the game and a bit I've seen of this so far the nearest comparison I can think of to a team having so little idea what to do with the ball beyond "hoping a talented player comes up with something) is watching United this season.
EDIT:

All well and good from a fella who doesn't actually have to watch us because he's in the team.

If he's on the pitch, he should be watching.
Aidy looks like he may have fallen on a proper team selection through enforced changes and they may just do it.
Armenia are not fucking about in this campaign. Three wins from three, with Romania and Iceland both slain. Erdogan running scared.
Igor Biscan donning the English. You love to see it.
Sterling is never quite going to do it is he?
Thank Christ we have two central defensive midfielders in front of a back four. Loads of cover so any old dickhead doesn't have massive gaps to just stumble into.
Clear to see why we're favourites this summer.
People saying John Stones is good is a form of emotional abuse.
There is no worse noise in the world than that.
Look at them all patronising him. The first decent side we come across will annihilate these betas.
Is there a decent side to come across?
Anyone of any historical standing and Portugal, will see to us.
What has historical standing got to do with a football match?
The xBOTTLE JOB factor.
It's Belgium or bust.
It's coming home. Drink it in.
That Timo Werner miss is special. The Chelsea surgeon has it down to an art form now.
Are Germany a side of historical standing? They look in great nick.
Mahow must be absolutely reeling.
