Baird of the land

Hopefully it’ll help us get him out on loan rather than us hear Ralph saying that Shane being back is as good as a new signing.

Well Motherwell just got embarassed by lower league opposition in the cup, so it'll be interesting to see if he can break his way into their team.

Who is that in Photo 31, one of the academy players?

Good shout . Only name i could think of was Aaron Martin but saw he had just moved.

Interesting idea.

I've got the App and got pinged recently and did my 4 days of being good. Doing something to limit the current surge seems a wise notion to me. I'd argue other island countries seem to have shown better ability to control it but that would require some attempt to control import of variants.

Sure Ryan Fraser will be glad you think he gave his top performance during that last season for Bournemouth.

Yeah exactly this. He was a shadow of the player from the previous 2 seasons, though to be fair many of liverpool’s Players weren’t of the same level.

Wijnaldum didn’t have a good season for Liverpool. he did have a good euros but then by then he was sorted.

He didn’t even make the enlarged England squad, which means he probably has to leapfrog 4 people, with an England manager who is more interested in younger players. It’s a long shot, dependent on lots of factors coinciding. I don’t really buy the home town boy stuff meaning much. If that was true he’d have signed the massive long term contract. At the end of the day he’s a professional looking out for himself.(which is fair enough it’s his career) the big threat to his bosman move is injury in the 2nd half of the season, especially if he’s done ok in first half. So it’s only natural he’ll coast somewhat.

His England chances have gone unless there’s a spate of injuries. i can very much see him going through the motions in the 2nd half of the season, given an injury then would screw him.

If you kick the can down the road 12 months and then have to replace Ings without having generated any money from his sale that seems a much more certain way to weaken the squad.

Just got pinged by the app and on freedom day too!

If he’s not going to sign We really need to get a fee for him now if someone will bid and he’ll go. Letting this drama play out to January where you get a minimal fee or have a halfhearted player for 2nd half of season and no money would not be good.

I thought gray only moved recently. Shows what a success he’s been if they are wanting rid that quick.

Don't get the White hype. Arsenal wanting to pay £50m for him seems insane.

Who decides what's abusive? We've just had a massive pushback over the activists trying to cancel people for legitimate views on gender. Financially motivating companies to implement blocks on free speech(which is what you are proposing) to tackle a tiny minority of trolls and racists seems a very bad idea imo.

Completely obvious he was leaving by way he was completely overlooked despite our massive midfield issues later in the season. Clearly not helped by his demand to leave and then the funny sending off when thrown an opportunity.

Got to assume Southgate expected sterling to volunteer, otherwise surely he would have been one of those taken off

Bizarre decision to put the kid Saka up fifth. Where were the more senior players. the two subs. Can sort of understand rashford(even if I thought it might be a mistake as he’s been badly out of form). Not aware of San how having any penalty history.

Must have missed the fixtures. That start is just appalling. Chelsea, Man U & City in the first 7. Guess everton may still be a shambles by opening day but our record there and on opening day isn't positive. Pressure could easily ramp up if we don't come out of the blocks firing.

Odd how long they are now taking over var decisions now they are in the knockout rounds but were happy to make quick ones in the groups.

Thought Austria were good in their last game. Made Ukraine look poor. Still expected it to be comfortable for Italy.

After all the group stage attacking, Italy have really reverted to just diving.

Disappointed not to get another laughable excuse(ala cummings) such as Hancock claiming he was worried he was losing his sense of taste so he decided to test it with some tonsil hockey
