Once again Wayne Rooney has proved what a petulant little shit he can be. He can be a great player at times but last night he was very poor. Just goes to show he still hasn't matured and is easy to wind up in these big game competitions. Wonder if his dad had a bet on him being sent off.

There seems to have been a bug in the system that merged two discussions together, "Single Guys in ED" and "Football Focus", as Football focus was the largest (by about 250 pages!) this has become the main thread.


Sorry about that.

I missed this at the time it was posted, but I think I'm right in saying Mertesacker protested immediately.

Spain (like Barcelona) play some beautiful football - almost redefining the game... but at 3-1 ahead against Scotland they still, when suffering a minor foul, go down and roll as though savaged by a rabid dog (like Barcelona). This means I am constantly struggling between admiration and repugnance.


Admirugnance?

Repugmiration?..It's frustrating, as they just don't need to resort to those tactics, I guess it's cultural.


Obviously their technique and movement with the ball is second to none, but it's their pressing game when they haven't got the ball that impresses me the most, Scotland could hardly get out of their own half with the ball, yet hardly pressed Spain in their own half, allowing them to pass it out from defence to midfield effortlessly.

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.

      The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
