I was ok with what he’d done until I read he’d belittled Katie Price.

About 12th in the FIFA rankings ore-tournament iirc. Not saying they’re perfect like

Aye but we’re only outside the top 10 on paper because Southgate wouldn’t play Shelvey

Probably true

3 reasons he wouldn’t off the top of my head. He tries too many difficult passes which tend to lose possession more by their very nature. That’s not criticism of him as a player, more why he doesn’t fit in with the possession football Southgate wants to play. Henderson’s athleticism’s important to the team. Shelvey’s nowhere near as good in that respect. International teams sit a lot deeper on the whole than those in the PL, making Shelvey’s long balls over the top a far less effective weapon.

Don’t know what the alternative was(not starting Shelvey imo)

You’d think the sweaties would look at what a tiny country like Croatia had achieved and think that maybe one day they too could qualify for a tournament

Not sure what some people expect tbh. England are a young side without much creativity in the middle of park trying to play a possession game (quite rightly I think). They’ve shown great team spirit, an ability to work to a game plan and performed way above expectation despite their obvious limitations. They weren’t far off making it to the final. If you can’t take the positives out of that you might as well stop watching football. Or become obsessed with Sunderland, which equates to the same thing

Enjoyed the tennis

It’s alreet, Noelie would have brought him back on again if it had gone to pens

That'll be the Free Tommy brigade. Or at least they'll claim it is

It does, aye. It's "Bore me with a sermon" unfortunately

Tbf, when you just type the first thing that comes into your head purely to try and get a reaction it must be difficult to keep track of all times you’ve contradicted yourself

Back of the net

Forgot all about those iron on logos

Wanker

Full-kit wanker

Aye, Trippier was shite

Hope everything goes ok

This isn't your dogging forum

Wasn't aimed at you btw, just the general feeling so many people seem to have it in for him

He's a proper 'character'

Think Sterling did alright and the criticism was way OTT but it's definitely a case of what might have been, i.e. if him, Kane and Alli had been in top form

That's why he appeals to the likes of CT
