    England - Lee Carsley Era

    I don't think Carsley got caught out with being too attacking, he got caught out playing too many attacking players and no front man. I think the false nine was a terrible idea and I don't think you can play Palmer and Foden and Saka and Gordon and Bellingham all together at the same time. As...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    I am pretty certain that not one single person called for the likes of a line-up that included Palmer and Saka and Gordon and Foden and Bellingham, all together in the same lineup and without a recognised striker. Completely unbalanced. I am certain no-one called for that. I would say that...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Foden is an enigma. He's a great player and really should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Reality is though, he so often fails to deliver for England. I love the guy, but I don't think he deserves a place at all right now. Mind, was expecting big things from Palmer and he had a...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Haven't seen it back. Couldn't bear to watch it. When I saw the lineup, I was a bit puzzled. Bellingham AND Foden AND Saka AND Palmer AND Gordon Very naïve thinking that and like you say, all fighting for the same space

    It seemed all so familiar didn't it. Really embarrassed by that performance tonight.

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    That was one of England's worst ever displays. I am all for an attacking line-up, but not sure you can put Gorden, Saka AND Palmer all in there Bellingham, besides the goal, was poor. Foden was poor and Palmer looked like he wasn't anywhere good enough for international football. Don't think...

    Tipping

    A bit harsh, Houch. What about students? My daughter is at Bristol uni and works at a bar/restaurant in the evening. Her pay is very low and she is dependent on tips. She doesn't get many, but it does really help her. She can only work evenings.

    Have you ever witnessed anything like this in the professional game?

    Watch: Referee awards two bizarre penalties for handball - 2. Bundesliga: Magdeburg's Greuther Furth gives away two bizarre penalties for handball 🤦 Sort of thing you would expect from an under 11's school team.

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    11 very good individuals doesn't automatically equate to a good team. It's not working because players either seem half-arsed, unsure of their roles, confused by the set up etc. It's all disjointed. Our main problem is a shortage in the middle of the park. Allen can be outmuscled against the...

    Yup. I did. For another 12 years. It was just this one nasty boss, but anyway, I pulled a sickie that day and went anyway.

    Robins has to go…

    Yeah, I see. I remember working at one place and they wouldn't even let me go to my grandma's funeral. I was happy to take it as holiday, but they still said no.

    Yeah, we thought it was going to be and I think we were expecting Thomas and Kitching to be better this year, being more settled. Thought Binks was going to improve things too. Far too many mistakes happening though, that lead to goals.

    Everyone is different though. I just carried on when my brother died and then again when my mum died and we were so very close, her and I. My brother's wife died just 3 months ago and it completely broke him. Only now is he starting to come to terms with it. We all process things differently.

    Can't Sunderland look after themselves?

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    But change Eccles for who? The general consensus is that Torp cannot play that role and that Lati is not the answer in midfield. I like Torp, but he does lack any kind of physicality and he is lacking when it comes to defensive duties. All comes back around to the fact we should have brought...

    Losing to a last minute goal, always results in an anger level increase amongst fans. It's so gut-punching isn't it. So, I do get the vitriol.

    Right. Now we need to bide our time and keep an eye out for when Napolimp sticks "piffle" in a post.
