CB Fry

So what? We had to listen to dinlows on this forum telling us Carillo was a good signing because it was not his fault he had Falcao ahead of him at his last club. Don't care. Just sign players that are first team regulars at the club we're buying him from. Simple rule.

I'd say Mark Hughes is far more renowned for defensive solidity rather than attacking flair, his Stoke, Fulham and Blackburn teams were more likely to head up the lowest goals against tally than be free scoring attackers.

Not that strongly. He was torn between grudging acceptance/better-out-than-in equivocation and his ultimate Brexit position. He's never been Nick Clegg.

Leganes fans will be absolutely buzzing to have signed a striker who the statistical analysis unequivocally shows will score a goal every other game.

Footballers do half a day's work per day, the season is weeks away and they're multi-millionaires used to holidaying around the world. I think the jet lag from some time in China might just be manageable. Jesus wept.

Penalty shoot outs are brilliant.

I vote for Millbrook Saint to be President of the World. He's got it all worked out and no mistake.

Bravo Roberto Martinez. Set the team up perfectly and realising the potential he showed as manager of Swansea and Wigan. Excellent.

I guess FIFA could squeeze it in Saturday morning - say 11am kick off, with the winners playing Sweden that afternoon. I mean, it's only fair.

It's one of those things can appear completely different to different folks, with people seeing what they want to see. A bit like data from the Office of National Statistics.

Maguire was very good and obviously infinitely better than our fourth/fifth choice CB. So that happened.

You said in Italia 90 (Semi-final) and Euro 96 (Semi final) England underachieved and as far as you're concerned if we don't win the whole thing we might as well have gone home in the group stage like Germany. So I don't really understand why you are crowing about what you can only describe as a poxy old second round win. We're still three more wins away from getting out of the underachievement zone, right?

Sweden in the fu cking bag Saturday.

We will walk this penalty shoot out.

Amazing no one has been sent off to be fair.

We got nothing.

For all the nice, calm, level headed speil we've had recently from Southgate about game management, that second half was dreadful. Instead of building on our lead we just gave up ground. Rubbish.

Why is a supply teacher in charge of this match?

Plenty of needle.

English play-acting: fine.

I'm predicting the full Kirsty MacColl.

Yes.

That's an astonishing fact - first time a team have come back from 2-0 to win in the WC knockouts since 1970.

F uck.

Get that E Honda on.
