    I think the way those people see it they consider it ‘pandering’ to a minority at the expense of the majority. Though there are probably as many definitions as there are people with grievances.

    He’s split up with the mother of his child so she won’t be leaving Italy for him. If he wants to see his kid he’ll need to move back there.

    They are the type of team that will turn up and beat Liverpool though.

    Only 90%? That whole subreddit is made up at amateur fiction writers. .

    Alonso has had one season. I would be interested to see how he would do at a mid table Premier League club.

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the three teams who have a chance at the title all have managers who are disliked by rival fans.

    How does a new manager get a chance at a top club? The biggest clubs can’t just keep trading managers amongst each other surely? At some point they will pick a manager who hasn’t already managed at a top club. Sometimes it’s ex players who get a chance way before their time. At least Di Zerbi has done well with a club on the next tier down.

    The level of consistency you need to win a title is incredible.

    It seems like it was plucked out of the air by an activist. There is a bit of backstory here: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/30/1241589753/transgender-day-of-visibility-rachel-crandall-crocker

    Gundogan used to be the difference in tight matches like this.

    They obviously cancel each other out to a certain extent. You watch either of these against a mid table side and suddenly the gulf in class shows.

    Sky don’t give a **** but they know that at any one time a large chunk of their audience are Man U fans (or some other ‘big 6’ club). They are just playing to the biggest portion of the crowd who ultimately buy their subscriptions.

    Twitter are a rival to his truth social platform which he just floated for something like $6billion. He doesn’t want to promote a rival company.

    He was all about his pace, the way he could make runs in behind to the byline and lay it back into the box was deadly. He’s 31 now and coming off a bad hamstring injury, if that electric pace is not coming back he’ll not be the same player anymore.

    We were in control other than that one Martinez save in the first 20 mins. Played well.

    Spurs will probably put about 6 past that Luton defence at home Brentford will be a tricky away fixture for Man U though.

    The Premier League can’t alter the table for other leagues.

    I doubt a mid table Premier League club are going to spend big money on Cash, they will be looking for better value elsewhere. A top club is not going to come in for him and no club outside the Premier League will be able to afford his wages.

    There’s plenty of speculation about Russia having FSB officers on location during the attack. The guy who arrested and cut off one of the terrorists ears certainly does resemble a guy recorded at the massacre calmly watching it unfold.

    The crew issued a mayday signal which alerted the traffic controllers that the ship was having a mechanical failure. The traffic controllers were then able to stop traffic approaching the bridge, but there were 7 cars that had already gone too far.

    I don’t think you can expect to win a tournament and claim he has underperformed by not. Losing the final against Italy at Wembley is the only match that sticks out at a tournament and it was on very fine margins. England 2018 was virtually the same squad who were humiliated by Iceland so perhaps he overachieved in that tournament? In Qatar they went out to my pre tournament favourite in France (again on fine margins with your captain and best player missing a penalty). I don’t think you should claim he underachieved in Qatar. So, as you yourself noted, England should have gone further than they did in tournaments from 2004-2016 but since Southgate I would argue they have been going about as far as you’d expect them to (with a frustrating penalty shootout loss in the 2020 final being the biggest disappointment).
  25. LondonLax
    So to summarise, we all agree England underachieved in 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2014 and 2016 (I had forgotten them losing to Iceland ) then Southgate shows up in 2018 and suddenly they are making semifinals and finals of major tournaments.
