That would be Dave Watson being named manager I guess, which I don't think would be too bad. Not for us right now maybe but he'll make a good manager if his input into set pieces and team talks is true.

Agreed, but some of what he says is true. There were times Iceland had the opportunity to play it about and even create some space moving forward but just blasted it long. I understand that mindset in qualifiers or friendlies, where a draw against a top nation is a good result - but you're at the finals. If you don't give everything to win, what's the point in being there?

Stunning national anthem from Iceland.

Oh Pelle...

Great goal...poor from Toby.

Exactly, very patronising. Meanwhile Russian officials are cheering their fans on (no, seriously).

Bastards. Time for Long to step up.

It's not that strange is it, as the board clearly agree with your second statement.

What constitutes near?

Don't forget that if the ITK news is true then he's behaved like a bit of a c*nt towards a few players, and we're more likely to keep Mane without him...

We'll only get £10million for him. I think 10 or more goals this season is worth losing that.

Any chance you could post this again? Can't seem to find it and i'm on tapatalk so takes ages to search.

Didn't work out, but not sure i get the level of animosity some people are showing. These types of signings happen all the time in the Prem. For every Juanmi there's a Mane.

Nowt wrong with wanting to keep abreast of the scores. It takes 2 seconds to open your phone up and look at them, or should if you had a decent connection. Using it for anything else after paying to watch the game is bizarre though. Unless you're keeping your uninterested kid occupied and quiet.

Dave Watson would be a good shout to take over as manager, some day.

I'm pretty sure it is, and it's just a tad more complicated to get a deal sorted than you're thinking. Let's not forget it's only been what, a week that the club would have known Koeman was going to leave?

I hope so, that suits our crop of players perfectly if you ask me. Before anyone mentions Pelle, he is our (better) Ulloa.

Except we have marched on, and on, and on...we've improved every season for 7 seasons. The whole idea behind the slogan is that no matter what befalls us, "we march on". And we have. So...your point kind of falls flat on it's arse.

They didn't qualify?

As much as I love the guy and he could well make a good manager one day, everything people have said is that he's too much of a joker behind the scenes to be taken seriously by players as a manager.

Don't think Pelle will go in all honesty. Just hope whoever we bring in doesn't want to radically change things as it doesn't really need it. If Koeman leaves that is.

I mean...i agree with most of what you say. But Mane was unproven himself about a year and a half ago.

Hooiveld and Fox are not even close ffs. Neither is Ramirez for that matter, we've had some ****ing awful players in the last 15 years.

No, because overall he was the best of a mediocre bunch of performances.
