Alex

100% record as England boss

His off the ball work has been amazing

I think it was just that - one game

Hopefully we can get someone along the lines of Pele or Maradona to play just behind him

I thought it was odd the Challenge Cup final wasn't being played at Wembley. It did originally say that, didn't it? Or am I losing the plot? The programme about the 1968 final is available on iPlayer for a while if you're interested btw. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b3g9q1/rugby-leagues-legendary-watersplash-final

Good. All the talk was that, because the third keeper never gets used, he should go because he's good to have around the squad but the unliklihood of his playing meant that it should go to someone else who could benefit from the experience in future tournaments I reckon

It's looking increasingly likely imo

It's funny because if you go back to Joe Royle and his 'Dogs of War' when you had the Barry Horne in midfield and then more recently under Moyes where Everton were workmanlike it shows that Everton fans are prepared to accept a style of football which is effective rather than attractive and yet even they won't countenance the idea of watching more of the shit served up by Allardyce. Yet many Sunderland fans have absolutely mythologised him as being the best thing since sliced bread and his leaving for being pretty much the entire reason they are where they now.

That's spot on and especially relevant since it's one person, one vote rather than FPTP.

But it all went wrong after he left

The facts have been twisted though. There were loads of anecdotal things regarding giving the Tories / the Establishment a kicking at the time of the vote and you even had lots of the most prominient members of the Leave campaign either saying outright or inferring we'd stay in the Customs Union. Now everyone who voted leave absolutely demanded that meant a hard Brexit. What a load of shit Edit: In reply to Rayvin

You'd have gotten bored after 5 minutes because you didn't understand anything and started doing something else. A bit like David Davies

It's been the irony of the whole thing since it happened. Farage the classic case in point. A massive part of the reason for causing the mess basically fucks off and tells everyone else it's their job to sort it out the moment it occurred. And still people don't see through him

It's sounds cracking. Or is that crackling?

I can't get away with Rugby League if I'm honest but there was a good programme at the weekend about the 1968 Challenge Cup Final. People might've seen it before as it's the one that's (in)famous for man of the match Don Fox missing a last minute conversion. The conditions were absolutely fucking ridiculous on a waterlogged Wembley pitch which would've made playing football on it impossible (it was barely possible to play rugby on it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Challenge_Cup_Final I think it used to be one of the '100 Great Sporting Moments' (the 10 minute short films that used to be shown on the Beeb when they had a short time slot to fill).

Aye, agreed. Especially the bit in bold and while he was a good defender he was never that good to start with.

Superman was the first film I saw at the pictures

RIP

He’s back on his own terms

You wouldn’t be able to tell them apart

World Soccer is normally pretty good

Actually Midori with white rum & soda / lemonade is quite a nice long refreshing drink. Probably about the only thing I would ever drink with Midori. The only downside is you have to hand your cock and balls in before partaking of one

Came to about 150 quid. Good old Barclaycard

It's only funny if you design it yourself iirc

I think everyone can be excused for ignoring Paul Merson
