As I say, perspective. It amuses me.

You were cocked and loaded with that one.

He looks a great player, but JWP, Diallo, Romeu, and Gilmour seems unlikely.

I'm normally quick to give you both barrels, but good work. I'm glad we got shot of him.

Good call. That Caleb is a good lad.

I think it's bollox. Southgate is judged on what his team does at the tournament, not whether he keeps Man Utd management happier than ours, or gives Rashford a seat on the bench rather than Ings. You show me Ben White, I'll raise you Kalvin Phillips.

I don't get this at all. Do you really think that Southgate would put a player in his squad who he thinks offers less than another player just because of who he plays for? There's no sense in that.

I'd still have played him in the Czech game. Kane needs a shot across the bows to liven him up. I'm no DCL fan, at least not the way we play. For all the JWP talk, I actually think Ings was a better candidate for the squad. He'd offer us a different option going forward with his pace and pressing.

Depends on your perspective mate...hopefully he'll now bite. Entertainment.

But, my car works. It's not 100% perfect though. Maybe it doesn't actually work. I'm confused now.

Rashford for me.

Agree with that. I'm happy to see us grind out results. My concern is that we're not creating enough chances, but are getting exposed from time to time. Hopefully Stones is OK as I think him and Maguire gives us a very solid CB pairing. The next game is arguably the toughest we could face. Get through it and things could get interesting.

Saying that the vaccines work (which they do) is not saying that they are 100% perfect (which they are not). It's simply saying that they work.

It won't be either. National league players are earning way more than that. Indeed, one or two national league south clubs were paying more than that pre pandemic. I don't have any recent knowledge, but our young pros nudging first team squad will be earning some proper money. Going way back to our league 1 days, Aaron Martin came in from Eastleigh mid season and signed for our minimum figure of (I think £800pw), played a few, then signed up on £4-6k PW dependant on game involvement. If we gave £6k PW to a kid we signed from Eastleigh back then, I dread to think what this lad is on now. Regardless, good luck to the lad. Half decent, but that ain't enough for this level.

Doubt they'll be one. Don't confuse thinking he's not good enough for England with wanting him gone.

That's cos they shit themselves every time he got on the ball, and he put the ball on a plate for our goal. Moaning because one of our players plays well and gets some praise. FFS.

Average tonight, despite the goal. Saka and Grealish both far better.

Agreed. Games like this should be used to rest those needing one, and give the fringe players a game, with the message that there's a shirt to play for.

Good team, although someone mentioned that Foden is on a yellow so I'd have Saka in for him. Loads of pace, and players with a point to prove.

Very odd treatment of him recently. It's hard to make a case for Sterling over him for this game.

You're hilarious Matty. A footy match in the real world is played over 90mins, not 90 secs of free kicks. Oh man.

Read all of them mate, not just the bits you like. Look at all outgoings against all non loaned income. Then look at the pattern since promotion. You'll see a simple trend. Our business model means that they are a selling club.

You've seen to different accounts to me mate. We cannot buy without selling. That's the reality. It shouldn't be, but it is. As for JWP, let's see what happens. I don't want him to leave, but if he's as good or valuable as you believe him to be, buyers will be beating the door down. If he wants to go, he'll go, and the price will be the best we are offered.

I'm not talking about the loan. We need to sell to buy, you're bright enough to understand that. We have to sell to the highest bidder. The highest bid will bid based on market forces, not the opinion of someone on a forum.
