  1. Bringing on Henderson was a total capitulation.
  2. Good luck, guys! I'm pulling for you. Insert Kenneth gif...
  3. Some of these session players lived more interesting lives than the stars. Steadier and longer careers, too. And none of the celebrity bullshit.
  4. England will feel the pressure. If Southgate starts Grealish, it will have a calming effect on the team.
  5. This seems likely to get done, but watch the price tag go up.
  6. Top Brazilian clubs are forming a breakaway league, apparently.
  7. I knew Paul Mariner. He was an occasional bar customer of mine in Boston while he was a match commentator for New England Revolution. Pleasant enough guy. We talked football. Last time I saw him I was working at a different bar and he was with his TV partner, a smug American dickhead who I ended up kicking out of the bar that night for being an insulting smug dickhead who wasn't getting his way. Mariner left with him. Sad that that was how it was left. 68 is way too young these days. Life is unfair.
  8. Nice. Blue is too powdery, though .
  9. Really hoping House of the Dragon isn't a massive disappointment. I've been watching the occasional GoT clip on YouTube and I want to go back to Westeros.
  10. I agree, winning on Sunday would free Southgate and the players which would be hell for opponents in WC qualifying.
  11. I love that this may have been our strategy all along. Weaken a direct rival using the dark arts.
  12. I've often wondered if there is someone at the club who tells the kit maker that the socks have to be blue, etc. I want the black socks Villa wore back in mid century days. Looks killer.
  13. It's an interesting conundrum. He is clearly adept at getting his teams to advance deep into tournaments. So by that measure, he is doing quite the opposite of holding the team back. Stylistically however, yes, the argument can be made that he's handcuffed the most creative group of players England have ever had. But ultimately what is more important, results, or artfulness?
  14. A link to a story about England fans assaulting a Danish family is worth mentioning on here, probably. It's a headline in the news today. It doesn't seem like any begrudgement (I made this word up) is going on here. Obviously the vast majority of England fans are a credit to the nation, as are the players. Even Safegate. I'll be rooting for you guys, anyway!
