All you gotta do is get on a plane buddy. Dwyer and I have got plenty of room.

"Carlosh Vela"

ergh.

 

[sledger]

I don't think he's even that bad anymore, but I think I will always hate Sam Matterface.

 

[Uppercut]

Neville's being a total arsehole about that Muslera mistake.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I think the MOTD usual suspects need a rejig. Shearer speaks a load of bollocks.

This is brand new information!

Martin Keown stop pls.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Martin Keown stop pls.

I might be imagining it but I think he said Maguire is as big for this England team as Bobby Moore was to his. That's err... quite a claim.

 

[sledger]

Not that big a claim imo. It's not like he said he was as good a player etc.

 

[Tangles]

The American comms were like a broken record on the Muslera mistake and the ball knuckling.

Yeah it sounds like a big claim when you hear it, but when you think about it it’s not at all.

Still a pathetic attempt to shoehorn 1966 in though.

Not commentary as such, but I recently came across a copy of the Mail the day after the England/Belgium game. It was almost a parody of what a daily Mail article should look like. The journalist, one Martin Samuels, pictured with arms crossed looking stern and judgemental. Banner headline 'Are you SURE this was a good idea Southgate?' Just pages of stuff where the journalist clearly knows more than our manager. Maybe there's been an apology since then.

 

[Uppercut]

Comms teams that are as ignorant about concussion as the BBC one tonight need fired. Genuine public safety threat.

 

[Furball]

Danny Murphy is a bellend.

I think I've preferred ITV's. The Beeb's is too tired, too safe and apologetic, too Match of the Dayish, too staffed by '90s-00s England flops - even Klinsman, the token foreigner, is a reminder of Italia '90/Euro 1996. ITV's is a little more unpredictable with insane types like Keane and Billic appearing, and hearing Ally McCoist discuss the Bolshevik Revolution is rather amusing. What is going on with Billic's hair? Looks like it has been sprayed on.

Yeah I think you’re right. Must be the first one where I’ve preferred ITV.

We’ve been fortunate here to have Tyler calling pretty much all the big games. Terrific as always and rarely gets partisan when England are playing.

Fair effort for a bloke who’s older than water.

Only a few years younger than Rabs and still able to tell players with wildly different characteristics apart. Miracle.
