Mauricio Pochettino.
at 22:05 24 Jul 2024

Apparently he is interested in the England manager's job. I would welcome him but there is history. He is Argentinian, something in itself I have no problem with but, and I stress, the footballing history between our nations is bitter. The Hand of God, Beckham's petulance/Simeone's over-reaction and on a more personal level for Poch his soft foul on Michael Owen back in 2002 that resulted in Beckham scoring the penalty and England progressing.
Thoughts.

Excellent performance by Matthew Hudson-Smith.
at 19:13 20 Jul 2024

This lad truly is a late bloomer. 43.74 is a world class time for 400 metres. This puts him level with Kirani James who is considered one of the best of all time at this distance and who he beat comfortably today.

The judge who sentenced "The M25 Five"

I don't know if this warrants a new thread but three months ago this happened.

So he wanted to show mercy to a policeman who could have been charged with rape had the women decided to pursue it. Nice bloke Judge Hehir. He clearly has his priorities right.
To make it clear so I am not misunderstood I am being sarcastic.

Alexis Sanchez and Renato Tapia.

Is there any chance of either of these happening? I would like to see both of them but I feel they are just baseless rumours.

The government want to stop prison overcrowding.

So they jail five environment protestors for 4 and 5 years for a protest that disrupted motorway traffic. Rapists, violent muggers and those who commit GBH with intent get shorter sentences. Way to go.

Kloop linked with USA job.
at 21:28 16 Jul 2024

Surely he will be able to to be swayed to take the England job instead. When you have the talent that England offer and his ability it must be tempting. IMO Kloop is KM with 20 years more experience.

England's striker options.
at 16:40 15 Jul 2024

They do not look great going forward. I am not one of those calling for Kane to retire but he does seem to be on the decline. Watkins and Toney are both 28 and Tammy Abraham is clearly not the answer. Maybe KM can help Delap to become an England player but I don't think he has the potential to be the first choice. I think a False Nine is our best option. Bellingham, Foden and Palmer could all play that position. The trouble with a False Nine is that a manager needs to know how to play that system and Southgate is not that man.

The worst I have felt as a football supporter.
at 23:28 14 Jul 2024

Was as a 12 year old boy when Ipswich were relegated in 1986. Nothing comes close to that. Ipswich till I die, England till I wake up with a mild hangover tomorrow morning. Not really, I will always support England but I tend not to that their failures bother me anymore.

3-4-1-2 is a perfect formation for Palmer or Trent.

Why have Germany and Italy got 5 Champion's League places?
at 17:44 2 Jul 2024

There teams did not win the competition and they are below England in co-coefficients. Correction. Italy have got an extra place because Atalanta won the Europa League. That does not explain Germany though.

To overrule yesterdays Supreme Court Ruling, fire all right wing judges and appoint judges who support The Democrat Party Agenda and Issue executive orders banning convicted criminals from running for president and abolishing the two term maximum for presidents. He can then pull out of the presidential race and nominate Obama as The Democrat nominee. The Supreme Court think they have won a great victory for anti democracy where they have actually shot themselves in the foot. Do it Sleepy Joe.

Resting Kane and Walker.
at 17:55 24 Jun 2024

I think it is worth the risk. Kane looks jaded and resting Walker because of his age is sensible. I would not risk Shaw either and have all three in the bench.
Watkins looked lively when he came on. Pull Bellingham back to play as an 8, Foden as a 10 and Rice as a 6. Play Gordon at LW and Trent at RB in a 4-3-3 formation.

Leif would improve this performance.
at 18:15 20 Jun 2024

I am not saying that out of bias either. He may come up short when playing one of top nations but Denmark are average. The left hand side of the pitch is awful. Trippier is a good right back but a poor left back. Davis's energy and vision would give them another level.

Would we have a shot of signing Lindelof?
at 15:33 20 Jun 2024

He is available for "A reasonable" fee with Fenerbache interested. He's just turned 29, is left footed, has 178 league appearances for Man Utd and 68 caps for Sweden. He is also totally unflappable.He would be great but maybe out of our league.

Rio Ferdinand said Bellingham is intimating to other players.

Or words to that effect particularly in regard to Foden who is meek in comparison. Does anyone think he needs to step back a little in that respect?

Sad new from Millwall.
at 17:13 15 Jun 2024

Their goalie Matija Sarkic has died aged 26. In times like this my dislike of certain clubs is put to the side. RIP young man. I take that back. I have just been reading the Millwall page on Sofifa and many are posting far right crap wishing one of their black players died instead. I really dislike Norwich but I hate Millwall. What a bunch of despicable w***kers they are.

The iceman or magician . I would choose, tosses a coin, Wirtz as I think he would suit us better. I would not be too disappointment with Musiala though. Do you think we can crowdfund £120 million?
