Cos CSKA Fulham apparently want ?3 million for a years loan, that probably put them off. I know we only offered 1.5 mill

It's just frustrating - Sullivan & Gold had all summer to flog off Vaz Te & Maiga and now the club has looked out of the office door and seen a lonely figure playing keepy-uppies... a figure who failed to land a club even as a free agent... a striker with a crappy average - and they've said "'Ere, fancy a game son?"

So just as he's aboout to come back Andy Carroll injurs his foot in training - not to worry, I'm sure BFS has a plan. After all, you'd never put all your eggs in such a fragile basket, never structure a whole squad around one injury-prone laddie, unless you had a plan B like buying some serious striker back-up... oh, wait.. no, plan C - we're going to play like Barcelona "sans striker".


I wonder if Carroll has Dean Ashton's phone number?

I think he took Wilshere off as a precaution. To be fair to the lad he hasn't played much and is coming back from a very long time out through injury. It's another 65 minutes under his belt. Young was pretty anonymous though but there again another player coming back from injury. Walcott however, rubbish. Another crap game for England. Still a shit Aaron Lennon for me.

I would have liked us to have been a bit more attack minded and adventurous. Would have liked to have seen Defoe come on who I think given the service would have scared the shit out of their defence with his guile, pace and ability to score a goal out of nothing. Still, you can't really complain with all the injuries we had coming into the game its still a good away point and we should win our last two home games against Montenegro and Poland.

A few comments on the Engerlund game last night. Walker, why, just why? Hodgson said Wilshere is finding his way back to full fitness, why fcuking play him then? Cleverley, appalling, Young gain why? Milner, I give up. Nobody in that side covered themselves in glory. And if Lambert is really the best option we have up front, then fair enough, and we have to hold our hands up and say the rest of the world has not only caught up, but has gone racing by and left us standing. The sooner the poxy media wake up to this and stop the stupid hoopla surrounding the national side each time a major tournament approaches the better.

I'm with you on this one, but I've never been overly fussed with Engerlund. At least I've seen them win the world cup in my life time and on home soil, albeit I was 9 years old, so yes I have given my age away.

Also perhaps the realisation that over time the team is going to continue not to achieve anything. I think if the team stepped up and looked like winning (eg 1996) there would be a new level of excitment and support. It just seems for England its "same old same old".

Yep, what Mick said.


Also in 96 there was a much bigger pool of players playing every week fir their clubs in the top flight. At that point we had a few great foreign players who added something to the premier league.


But for me at least I was much more likely to go and neet mates in the pub to watch the matches and just got more excited about the whole thing.

Leaving aside premier league for a second, you just don't see as many kids playing football these days. That's ultimately why the England side (and others) aren't as good "as they used to be"


As for last night - it was dismal sure, and I'm no defender of the England team.


BUT


It's rare to see teams considered "very good" - say your Madrid, your top London teams etc go to old soviet bloc countries and play well. I can't recall many matches that showed those teams at their best. for whatever reason it's case of travel, get as much as you can and get out


So i wouldn't damn England on last night alone (I know there are other reasons to but the headlines this morning are talking as if this game Proves Everything)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
