Altered Carbon went well off the rails by the end so I can't be arsed finishing it. Went on to watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie for the first time and when does it get funny? It's all a bit self-congratulatory

As if those books aren't cooked What, were Hanley and Murphy on 100 grand a week?

Two holding players against Panama would be total Pardew carry-on

I love the whole "We're not going to practice them!" when Holland showed how planning and studying for penalty shootouts can help you win them last time around

Got to love West Ham’s self inflated view of their own standing

Stealing that, what a perfect summation of a truly negative squad selection.

Exactly. As a side note, Southgate has been told he’s keeping the job no matter what. So, what, we’re supposed to hope that he magically learns things like “play players in their right positions” in the highes pressure environment imaginable? He’ll be in an adult nappy by this time next year

I hope so because he’s not a centre half. Then again, you’ve got to make room at centre half for Kyle Walker, an attacking right back

When McClaren did it for the first 3 games or so here What are they trying to prove?

Duff might have just went up in my estimations. Only slightly, like

I’ve been looking, is John Stones the closest thing we have to a playmaker?

I remember his inverted wingers. Which I assume got the name because they were the opposite of useful

Not to mention Harry Maguire who tried to spark Gayle out the other month. It's almost like that whole line is a flimsy excuse to mask something else.

Delph is in even though he's been at left back all season. Only three recognised centre halves which means Walker, a fine attacking full back, is going to be stuck at centre half. Lallana is in having struggled for fitness all season. That's the crux with England; they'd rather take a crocked Liverpool player than an in-form Newcastle player. Square pegs, round holes, boring football, early defeat, rinse, repeat

Livermore is going apparently That's a central midfield of a side who would finish 15th

Aye, a win over Slovenia (I think) in which it took us 90 minutes to get a last gasp winner

Cinco de Mayo!

Standing still while a game of football happens around him i.e. things that won't work if he's back with them in the Premier League next season

"it's a comic book movie but he SWEARS!" is legitimately something that should only appeal to 15 year olds anyway so don't bother. I watched Game Night last night which is obscenely funny from start to finish

Not even Southgate is boring enough to find stats interesting.

In one

Started Altered Carbon and enjoying it enough. A proper pulp sci-fi affair with the added bonus of hoping that the tidy little slice of Mexican trim gets her baps out

Might chuck a fiver on Alli getting sent off at some point. Especially when he doesn't have arse-kissing PL refs to protect him after his latest bout of being a right little cunt.

I love how, in their head, Sam Allardyce is actually such a MLF when in reality, he's just a greedy bastard who was very well paid to (just about) do a job. Everyone else sees through him but that pack of needy, validation-starved lunatics.
