    Funnily enough it’s these kinds of statements that wind me up.
     

    It is ridiculously hard to secure rape convictions as it is so often one word against the other. A not guilty verdict does not mean the victim made a false allegation and absolutely does not mean that if there is a failure to convict the woman should be charged!!! 

    I totally agree with that for most cases but there are ones like Ched Evans who spent ages in prison before the woman admitted she made up the allegation

    so there should be some comeback in such cases

    With Unai just signing up people in his phone contacts, Lange can focus on shortening the bomb list: Guilbert, Nakamba, Sanson, Dendoncker plus loanees Bednarek & Augustinsson.

    I wouldn't sell Dendoncker even after Sunday!!

    I think that could be said for about 80 percent of our squad. Martinez, Carlos{due to his injury}, Kamara, Luiz and  Ramsey are probably the players that are guaranteed to be here next season under Emery

    The rest are fighting for the future which is a good thing

    I would add Cash, Buendia and Konsa to that list

    I guess that depends on how you see it. For me Kane was dropping far to deep, to play some lovely passes to players you'd rather Kane be on the receiving end of.

    You can't  play an attack of Kane, Foden, and Saka, because none of those players will run in behind. Saka terrified the French defenders and ironically he was the first player Southgate subbed. Just ridiculous.

    England have a wealth of top quality number 10's but they insist on playing him in the no 10 role when he lacks to ability to dribble past players. It's stupid.

    Kane is good when he has someone like Son or Rashford. Players that will run in behind from deeper positions and have the instincts of a striker. But this makes the team one that has to exploit the transition. They will still lack the ability to breakdown a stubborn defensive side. As Kane is not a top no 10, he is a top no 9, that needs legs around him. For me building a team around him is rather limiting. As if you play him with a no 10, they just get in each others way. You need a shadow striker in that 10 position to make it work.

    I think you sum up the Kane situation very well. England don't score enough goals against top sides. This could well be because our centre forward wants to play as a No.10. Kane is a great passer of the ball but unfortunately those great passes should be reaching Kane. We need a CF who will play as one and make sure when the killer pass or cross is made he is there to finish it. England are an unbalanced attacking unit and of course defensively they are always likely to concede. Your point regarding taking our best chance of a goal (Saka) off was mind boggling. We will never win anything with Southgate in charge, he just doesn't understand when to use his substitutes

    As bizarre and unlikely as this is... apparently Sawiris has a relationship with Mendes 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️

    Stop it This simply cannot happen, the player wouldn't be interested anyway

    It's the hope that kills you

    Barcelona, who don't play Kessie, now want Luiz?

    GTFO, they can't afford him. 

    As long as there isn't a dreaded clause in his new contract which there almost certainly will be!

    A coming together? Digne boots his ankle and doesn’t kick the ball. How is it not a penalty? It’s accidental, granted, but it’s still a blatant penalty/foul. Without question. 

    Absolutely not. He touches the ball with his back leg and it is the Brighton player moving into Digne that makes the contact. For once they got that 100% right

    Never in the reign of Pigs pudding is that a penalty and I would say the same if it had been the other way round
