Pedantic Pete

The easy side of the draw probably means the Germans in the final again..even though they are shite!

Didn't Italy sub their goalie just for the lols? Nothing says we are through easy than subbing a random player!

Jimmy Bullard is a very good actor if he doesn't like football!

Did you watch Italy? They passed the ball forwards. Wales had the whole team behind the ball but they continued to push forward, England would have just passed the ball around the centre circle for 90 minutes in that game. England need to stop the sideways possession based rubbish and actually try to create something. I honestly don't think the personnel will make any difference..

TBF it's easier to go through than go out..Only 8 teams leave at this stage!

Maybe that would suggest a yellow and blue version of the 20-21 Denmark home kit as the away kit?

You didn't scout Hoedt, Carrillo and Lemina did you?

Football fans biased towards their own team.....what a shocker!

Might have considered one if I knew the were coming without the sponsor on it! Looks much better IMO

If the players truly believe that the booing is racism, shouldn't they walk off the pitch and abandon the game?

But we also don't live in the USA which is what the original point was? I believe that in trials less than 1% were affected as they didn't bring ID but no data was collected to see what groups they were from so I am not sure why the assumption that certain groups are affected more is given credibility without that evidence? Sorry I just struggle to think that a government that couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, could actually come up with a plan that works in their favour?

Oh you learn something new every day..Is that why Northern Ireland did it too?

Or alternatively they are telling the truth and are trying to stop voter fraud? The problem is, if you have a chip on your shoulder, you might believe every decision or every action is someone out to get you when in reality...they probably never even considered you!

I don't know, someone earlier compared booing at a football match with standing in a field whilst a battle was going on booing the fallen soldiers..That's gotta be up there with this one?

I don't think I have seen one person say racism doesn't exist?

Not looking to start an argument with you, just a genuine observation which I just don't get about people like you?..Don't you see the irony in posting that someone else is intolerant when you are displaying massive intolerance to other peoples opinions..Even going so far as using profanities and name calling?

I agree, there should be hotline so people can be reported because their thoughts are determined by how someone else perceives their actions.

Yeah as I see the argument, that was fine as our kids wore the same kit as our first team. In this case the kids wear a kit which resembles Brentford due to the same sponsor rather than our own first team. Surely the kids want to wear the same as their hero's- which is why they pay extra to have their names on the back..I get they can't have the same in this case but IMO only they would be better without a sponsor...However as I said my kids have grown up so it doesn't bother me either way really, i was just saying I can see the side of the argument that is being made.

TBF I get the point that our kids shirts have the same sponsor as Brentford first team..That is a bit odd IMO. My lad (although not a kid anymore at 20) when he was young, would happily have me pay more for a shirt without a sponsor as more often than not it spoils the kit! How much will they be paying to have their name on a kit worn only by a few thousand (at most) kids and never in a game?

I am pleased for him, always liked him as Captain. Always seemed to care and was at the heart of the team when we had some great times.

The three promoted teams? I think it will be a tough one next year, we need a good start as I am not sure we have the character to pull ourselves out of the bottom three if we start badly.

It depends when you grew up I suppose, but to me Saints aren't traditional red and white stripes at all. Being born in late 69, my first home kit really was the FA cup year- Ted McDougal, thick and thin stripes, then in the eighties we never had stripes at all- well not until the very end of the decade- but I did like that kit! 🙂 So I always view a traditional red and white stripe as a variation of our red and white theme rather than the traditional kit.

I think we will have to agree to disagree..I think there is a massive gap in income, spending and wages between the top 6 and the rest. Granted their is a big big gap between Spurs and the rest, and if Arsenal aren't careful they could fall behind but they have won the FA cup more than anyone recently still..Any club, even Everton, who bloody's their noses by winning a cup deserve every credit for doing the near impossible IMO!

TBF they are massively punching above their weight then.. To be where they are in the table and win a cup when those top six are spending even "just" £57 million more a year!

You are right..Liverpool's wage bill is like £300m a year.. Net spend surely is a red herring? Players don't go to Man City due to net spend they go for £500,000 a week!
