  1. Delighted to see the classless Argentinians lose.
  2. 2036.... "A man's not a man, until he's loved a man as a man," said a changed, and higher pitched Andrew Tate upon his release from prison today.
  3. I don't know. How don't you disagree with it? 🙂 *If anyone finds a manager with the surname Watt, we can have an Abbott and Costello tribute.
  4. Astronaut Michael Collins seemed interested. 🙂
  5. Pumpernickel
  6. Surely, by putting this guy's voice on helicopter mounted speakers, like apocalypse now, they could have bored their way to victory in Vietnam?
  7. I have too much respect for you to ask if the 18 you had remembered were the first ones, and the rest were just lost in a senior fog. So, I shall never mention it. 🙂 Besides, who needs Churchill, when you get to live through Boris?
  8. The only way I seem to be able to contain my excitement is by faking complete apathy. It's great that crooked FIFA emulates another bunch of crooks in the Olympics committee, by thinking a bronze medal approach is meaningful.
  9. So hard to be an influencer in the social media age. 🙂
  10. Enjoy before the mods take it down for being too hot...
  11. Last tried by Liz Truss. 🙂
  12. Oh, like I'm going to let that get in the way of claiming the first grumpy stereotype of the thread prize. 🙂
  13. If you had the backing of the thread creation union, then that's all that really counts if it's a Labour thread. As we're about to find out, union demands are much more important than what voters want. 🙂
  14. I'm seeing a Championship trophy and a Gibson appeal. Thinking that it might be better seeing it on a player, isn't a good sign. It looks very poor.
  15. Has this thread been officially sanctioned by @sadoldgit?
  16. I put a fridge on my head, and this stroll is going really well. Would not shed a tear to see Tuchel punted.
  17. Yup. Is it 25 years or something now, on World Football phone in? He knows his stuff.
  18. I didn't think bottles would be allowed in. But Tuchel certainly managed, by bottling the game after taking the lead.
  19. Not every game. But I'll be interested to see RussBall work with a different squad. We've also got McCarthy nearly there now. Will he be required to be more like Baz, or will Russ settle for that cusp of promotion look to playing it from the back, with a higher defence? Oh, and Ings reported to be joining too. Lots of Saints interest. What I'm also interested in is seeing how it might have applied to us.
  20. I agree. They knew they weren't capable of hanging on, and were just hoping that every effort would miss. Kane was a waste in the part I saw. Nothing useful came to him. He looked knacked, and no one else was capable of running off him. He'd have no options, even if it had got to him. That shows how broken the game plan was by then. Couldn't strengthen the midfield, and couldn't get it out wide. So it all fell in on itself. I'd caught the line up before I left. I noted James and Rice at the very edge of their fitness; Stones without a real season; Spence in off the back of a decent finish in the last game, but weak in others and there because of Tuchel not wanting extra full backs; Rogers out of position because Saka isn't fit, and Madueke hasn't clicked. As disjointed as it's been, that was likely to be even more so. Dropping back and back, just showed up those frailties more and more. Rice not being fit was a big blow. Anderson doesn't do the same job, and has been passive. O'Reilly is another "versatile player" pitching in, but not the best in that role. A bit like TAA was, when he got put in there. Not having game changing Saka was probably the other big miss. He can change things regardless of how the others are doing. Disappointing to go out in a muddled defensive whimper. But credit to Argentina for their relentless approach to turning games around. England were just the latest to not be able to cope with it.
