Got a bad feeling about this one. Think we'll lose. Just can't shake the feeling our players are gonna get the fear again. Happens all too often when we reach the knockouts (I think that horrible Iceland game will be forever seared into my memory). Also slightly concerned about how our rickety...

Would St idiot kindly look at this and care to explain why England have one less populous nation ranked above them (Argentina)* as opposed to several for Scotland - Uruguay, Costa Rica, Croatia, Denmark? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_table_of_the_FIFA_World_Cup Would be nice to get...

But the game wasn't "thrown", it was simply a dead rubber that neither side had to win. As for the second para, the reality of the situation is that Martinez or Southgate aren't there to afford the fans a lovely experience. They're there to do what they think is in the best interests of their...

Why are you getting so worked up about this match, Bilo? Most managers will take the chance to rest key players should the opportunity arise. I can appreciate momentum can be a great positive but if, say, Man City fielded a weaker team in the League Cup, I find it difficult to imagine that...

Is it mandatory that every England thread follows the following pattern? English people: hey, it's good to see the team doing well isn't it. A nice novelty, let's enjoy it while it lasts Scottish/Welsh poster: *begins furiously composing tome about how deluded English fans are and how they'll...

ffs I mean, I should probably change my team or something but I can't be arsed really. It's fine, I'll come on strong in the latter stages like Germany or something.

I was prepared to see what the defendant had to say for himself before PROFFERING A VERDICT But the silence appears DEAFENING

i heard he only consumes ethnically* sourced goods *caucasian the MONSTER

It doesn't make much sense to try to measure the effects of leaving the EU until after we've left?! Are you serious? It's this sort of rank idiocy that makes me so angry with this ridiculous act of self-sabotage and those promoting it. Genuinely seems to be a game to some people.

I think Wark, or someone similar, might be good. A Paxman type figure would be awful. Too abrasive. I used to watch it religiously but haven't seen it in years. I'm not sure whether it got progressively worse or whether it was always awful and I just tired of it. I suspect the latter, If I'm...

I don't think the Southgate criticism is fair. Managing at club level is different to coaching an international side and I'd argue that the jobs almost require different skill sets. International coaching's always going to be a bit frustrating for the man in charge, I'd suggest, because he...

Yes, but the solution to this particular problem is to purchase some REALLY PONCEY but EVER SO DELICIOUS foreign variety. "Think of the AIR MILES" you might very well say in protest, but we must embrace these pre-Brexit LUXURIES while we can. This time next year we'll ALL be TRAIPSING over our...

Yes, I'm already regretting it a bit. I was right all along, wasn't I?! Damn these people for almost convincing me that tinned plum tomatoes were an acceptable thing. Going to CRANK THE DIAL back up to HATRED

Thank you for your responses regarding the age old chopped/plum tomato debate! It's given me plenty of food for thought (no pun intended)!!! I think my issue is that I would always be purchasing tin-dwelling tomatoes for the purpose of concocting a sauce and, quite honestly, any old tomato will...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stewart_Parnell Someone's got a crush on you :wub:

Well yeah. I might actually give that one a miss.

The Saudis have always been dreadful whipping boys (lol) tbh. You only have to look back at their last couple of Finals appearances to see that. A 4-0 loss to Ukraine in 06, an 8-0 defeat to Germany in 02. One point, two goals and a combined -17 GD from those two tournaments alone. In short...

Well, isn't this a lovely photo op :err: - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44451415 Really wish I had it in me to boycott this wretched WC

I must add that I'm not particularly KNOCKING plum tomatoes PER SE (they are quite a delicious variety of tomato, after all). It's just the process of getting home and finding out you're in the business of having to CHOP SOMETHING UP when you thought you were buying a ready-chopped product which...

If we get another Diana Ross cameo I suppose I may GRUDGINGLY ACCEPT another US WC
