> Phil Jones. Why? Answers on a postcard please.


Many would level the accusation at the current and previous England managers that they select players from the "big" clubs at the expense of the smaller clubs. Certainly couldn't select him on ability or form

Jones' problem is he hasn't held down a position at club or international level. Like Smalling (who has improved in past 6 months) he still needs an experienced CB alongside him at the moment. Same with Cahill, take away Terry and he looks very average. Utd can go out and buy an experienced CB this summer, England can't, we're stuck with a group of average CBs. Barring a meltdown, England have qualified, so Hodgson should stop experimenting with the back four and play his preferred back line, give them as much time before Euro'16 to get used to playing with each other and develop an understanding. A well organised back four of average players a la Stoke has got to be better than all this chopping and changing...

Sooo, I watched "Gascoigne" last night. Think this sums it up well


http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/04/gascoigne-review-heartening-but-cursory-documentary-of-troubled-footballer


I enjoyed it, and it was great to marvel at what he could do, but a true documentary should have talked about the darker times. It basically stopped at Euro 96. There was nothing about being dropped by Hoddle (fool) in '98, or any of the bad stuff. But it was worth a watch.

The summer transfer business/gossip has been a bit underwhelming so far. Which player(s) do you think your team needs?


For Utd it's at least 4 or 5...


GK (if De Gea leaves)...Lloris

RB...Clyne would've been good but think he wants to go to Liverpool. Anyone but Phil Jones.

CB...Hummels

DM...Schwiensteiger

CF...Benzema

Liverpool need at least one top drawer CB and at least one proven striker.


We need to sell Sterling to City for as close to ?50m as we can get, then use that money wisely.


Unfortunately Rogers will be using it, so we'll probably end up with the shite we spent the Suarez money on.

Not so, Otta. I believe that's been taken out of his hands now because of the shite he bought with the Saurez money.


Whereas at Spurs where the directors wasted the Bale money, Pochettino along with his assistant Paul Thingamejig (forgotten his surname, his colleague that he worked with at Southampton) are now being trusted with the transfer money and quietly getting a few deals done. So far a centre back and a right back have arrived plus Delli Ali who we bought from Milton Keynes Dons last season will be joining us and I think he could turn out to be really good. I'd like to see a top class defensive midfielder and creative one too with a bit of flair plus another top quality forward with a bit of experience that Harry Kane can learn from and take a bit of pressure of him too.


Players who can go - Kaboul, Chiriches, Adebayor, Capoue, Lennon, Townsend, Stambouli, Holtby and Soldado.

Cool,can't say as I know anything about him, but him and Coutinho already playing together at international level can only be a good thing.


Think Liverpool have accepted Sterling will go for ?50m, so why not use it on a couple of real quality signings rather than several mediocre ones.

whats his goal scoring ratio like in the Bundesliga? BBC quote goals for Brazil, but thats not really a benchmark for a top league.

True, Firmino only has to score 2 PL goals and he'll be better value goals per transfer fee than Super Mario.

Looks like the transfer fee benchmark has been raised considerably, what with talk of Kane for ?40m and Sterling ?50m...

They share the same agent, Jorges Mendes, I think they are best buddies too. Maybe he thinks the Chelsea system will get more out of Falcao. The football fan in me wants to see him get back to the exciting striker he was before he got injured, prefer it not to be at Chelsea though...

Let's hope he turns out to be another Andriy Shevchenko, Torres, Shawn Wright Phillips, or Veron.

    • 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".
