  1. UEFA coaches meeting in a couple of weeks, solid chance it changes after that. Southgate thinks it will. 90% of countries apparently supportive.
  2. I think it’ll end up a squad of 26 and at that point both might sneak in.
  3. Yeah I guess because of Kamara missing out with injury but I’ll be thrilled for Moussa if he gets the call
  4. Trust me, just be patient until after the Euros
  5. And to be fair while the pundits on TV were poor for this, the papers I saw gave Ollie credit for his role in the second goal (presented as a Southgate masterstroke as two subs combined to set up Bellingham). Honestly I doubt Southgate has made a decision yet - why bother? See how they perform in the last 9-10 games, how fresh they look, what Kane’s situation is etc. He knows he’s got two good backups and he knows he won’t use them at all if he can avoid it!
  6. It will. He’s been trying to get out of his contract since before the last World Cup when teams like Chelsea wanted to poach him but the FA have had him shackled with the terms. No way he extends.
  7. Hopefully a nice confidence boost but let’s face it, Konsa aside that’s like playing against a League One defence
  8. I’m not a Southgate fan by any means but to be fair he will see it. I still think he’ll take Toney mind you.
  9. Probably been said, but my concern is he’s a confidence player and can be a little fragile (an absurd thing to say about someone at his level - obviously he’s very mentally strong - but you know what I mean). I hope what we don’t get is Toney coming in and scoring tonight, and Watkins’ mindset being “I had a big chance, I didn’t deliver, now I’ll miss the Euros” and coming back to Villa on a downer. Ideal obviously is he comes off the bench and gets a goal!
  10. I’ve followed football for 35 years and I lived in London for 12 years and I’ve never met a QPR fan. You may have been the victim of a hoax
  11. To be fair that other guy is probably Polish which might work in his favour (the manager who persuaded Cash to declare and was chasing similar second-generation connections has left, right?)
  12. Forest paid up to £42m for MGW*, can’t see them selling for £3m profit… *£25m plus £17m add-ons says the internet and a bunch of those will have been hit already.
  13. Yeah and also selling Douglas Luiz to Man United for £5m plus Harry Maguire and Villa Park burning down because Austin McPhee left his hair straighteners plugged in
  14. I’m reporting it because I remember having the conversations on the day when we signed Dendoncker and Arsenal were upping their bid for Dougie at £5m a pop and he was expected to move. It was all happening on the same deadline day and hanging on to DL was the best business we did that window.
  15. Poor Dendoncker. Signed on deadline day in a panic to replace Douglas Luiz and then that deal didn’t get done. Which is also why sometimes when we say “get our business done before we sell players and leave ourselves short” it doesn’t quite work!

    Agreed, Southgate sounded like he was pleased with him as well. Suppose a lot will depend on fitness of TAA, Trippier, Walker etc as to how much the right back cover matters at the time but he did what he could. Must have a shot of starting against Belgium as well if Walker is anything more than sore?
  17. Just so calm on the ball, casually stepping around two England players in his own area
  18. Been ok, poor service tbh, run the channels well, had one great chance that the defender got a nick to. Solid enough but nothing to cement a spot ahead of Toney if that’s his competition. Has played full 90 so wonder if Toney will get the Belgium game.
  19. I have a great character - one of the best! - and couldn’t care less about my national team. Not sure those two things are connected
  20. Let’s be honest if we look at this dispassionately it’s a bit of a spoiled baby (most footballers) and a bit of a joke organisation (most FAs) having a spat. And as you say it isn’t just Bailey - Antonio is also skipping squads isn’t he, but without speaking about it? Can only be good for Villa though. Last thing we need is Bailey needing to take a flight with three changes from the UK to Jamaica (his big complaint) then the same again home, and expect him to perform in the PL. I’m all for players playing for their countries but if you’re Emi Martinez this week you took a private jet to Philadelphia for the Argentina game and you’re staying in the Ritz there - coming back and performing after that is a bit different. And yet what can the Jamaican FA do if they’ve got no money?
  21. Not sure tbh, haven’t really followed the Colombian media perspective on him! Have you seen them presenting him as the next big star?
  22. I think the Davis comparison falls down slightly when you consider Duran has already scored twice as many PL goals as him and should overtake him for goals in all competitions in the next 6 weeks or so
  23. He’s played about 1.25 games since being injured for months and months…
  24. I don’t mind him being judged, or think he needs a hiding place, it’s just frustrating that many of the people judging him (and all footballers) are very stupid
