I agree with you Mr M.


In the case for the defense, what has any manager since Hoodle achieved in making England look competitive at the business end of international football (the tournaments)?


With hindsight, I think that 5-1 win over Germany wasn't great for English football as it made Sven untouchable for way too long.


1998 since we've looked like we could win anything.......


Careful what you wish for :)

Actually I agree. One thing BFS is good at is getting the core of a team together. He doesn't pick on reputation, more on the ability to follow his wishes. We will be muscular, intimidating. The football will be terrible to watch but we'll win more than we lose and maybe we can put the pressure on other sides rather than vice versa.



Kevin Nolan could well be the oldest player since Sir Stanley Matthews.

Are we going to have to call you $$$$'s from now on then?

His win/loss perecentage as a manager would suggest we'll lose marginally more than we'll win.


36,3 % Wins

26,9 % Draw

36,8 % Losses



We don't want to be like an Allardyce premier league side. We want to make good use of the young talent we have at our disposal. We don't want to nullify the opposition to win games, we want to outplay them.


We want a manager that players will look up to, a manager used to looking after superstars, a manager that has played and coached at the highest level.


We want a manager with fresh ideas and a plan for a long term future; a Joachim Low or a Didier Deschamps or a Chris Coleman or a Jurgen Klinsmann.


The idea that we have to have an English manager is laughable; ask the England rugby team.

I am no BFS fan, as I may have mentioned once or twice on here. But on this point I sort of disagree. Superstars are Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Beckham (in his day).


Most of these players need someone that will stop pandering to them and explain that despite the ludicrous pay they get from their clubs, they are laughing stocks on the international stage, and need to have a bloody word with themselves. Bit of tough love, which is one thing he might be good for.

No you can't. There were security people there on Tuesday for the friendly v Charlton. They were checking bags for booze. I think the club doesn't want to upset the council, given that they're looking to get a licence for an outside bar to relieve congestion in the main bar.


In addition to tomorrow afternoon's friendly against Millwall, there's one against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening. The other pre-seasons are away.

Still- good beers in the bar I guess. Is it a tenner in for the Millwall friendly?

I know Suarez was a massive factor, but when Liverpool went close a couple of years back that was without European distraction certainly in the second half of the season (can't remember if they started the season in a competition or not).


In all honesty I've no idea what the teams will all look like this year. Although thanks to a pal I am going to Wembley for the first time since it was done up to see the LFC Barcelona friendly, then to Anfield to see LFC Hull, so looking forward to that.

      "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
