Road to Russia 2018

[grecian]

Big question is will Ampadu be playing?

Allardyce already making so many BS and contradictory comments in pressers it's embarrassing, I particularly liked how we always qualify for major tournaments apparently.

 

[grecian]

Who is stinking it up note for England at the moment a) the football team b) thecricket team c) the Australian-Hungarian tennis player Jo Konta?

 

[Furball]

That is an absolutely appaling decision.

Get it round you.

 

[Furball]

Can't have any sympathy for Slovakia after that appalling amount of timewasting.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Glad I'm in Lille and couldn't be tempted into having that pile of shite on TV. England already doomed for another 2 years.

 

[grecian]

So awful that that performance was covered up by that scrappy goal.

 

[sledger]

Ended up watching the game last night, against my better judgment. Could have just as easily been watching any England performance for about the last ten years. The more things change the more they stay the same...

0-3 home loss to Germany. Letting Thomas Müller stand unmarked in the box probably isn't what you would like to do.

Rooney is player-manager now, it just gets even 'better'...

Thought Fat Scum would at least have some bottle, that was pretty much his only redeeming feature.

Haha it was an incredible thing to say. I don't think even Moyes at United said something as pathetic as that.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, utterly mind-boggling really. It's kind of Brent v.2.0.

I mean, he's basically said "It's not for the manager to manage the players".

What is this I don't even

 

[Furball]

Yeah was completely unexpected. Whatever his faults I always thought that Allardyce would be a fairly strong manager.

 

[Furball]

I mean, how do you even set your side up tactically if you've just admitted that your captain is doing what he wants?

Maybe that is the tactic

 

[Uppercut]

I think he's mellowed quite a lot as he's got older. He's also become excessively self-aware about his old-school reputation, and seems to be actively pushing back on it at every opportunity.

 

[GIMH]

He's a ****

Kinda asks the question how he thought his comment would portray him though; I can't imagine many of these new-fangled, Opta stat using, book reading bosses saying something similar.

It makes him look not unadjacent to a softcock, IMHO.

 

[vic_orthdox]

"We're not going to make a thing of this, are we?"

Exactly how to ensure we're making a thing of it.

 

[grecian]

Rashford got an hat-trick for the u-21s, really deserved to be demoted I have to say....

Good result for the Aussies in the UAE

Latter is not a bad team at all and it was played in 40+ heat
