    Yeah, but then you also get CC4L and Grendel too.

    The World Cup Thread

    Hopefully the kids from the two junior World Cup wins will come up trumps. So annoying though when the big clubs snap up all the young players, but then keep splashing the cash on big money signings that then push those kids down the pecking order.

    Glad you are a bit better. Why risk your health though and come on to this plague-ridden place?

    Nope, not misheard. She watches the news everyday without fail. This is from TV news programmes over there. Probably will not be official statements from the government, but from Question Time/Hard Talk type programmes.

    I rate Loftus-Cheek. The only thing that annoys me about him is his final ball. He had a reluctance to shoot when in great positions and/or failed to deliver the killer ball. Very much akin to Sterling and the problem he has. Loftus-Cheek is very strong though, hard to dispossess and does have...

    We have progressed. We all know the players we have now aren't of the quality of the golden generation. We were playing the ball out from defence in this competition with confidence. A sea change. Much happier to retain possession rather than just get it forwards too quickly. We definitely...

    Nearest we've got to Modric is Jack Wilshere. Nowhere near as good, but I would have taken him if it was me. Think we had a few pointless inclusions this time round. I do also worry about Alexander-Arnold. Seen him play a bit before and thought he looked a really good prospect, but his...

    Yeah, just saying what the Russians are saying. I never listen to my own Russian I have here, so why would I pay any heed to any others!

    Favourite It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia epsiodes

    I have just seen the Sunny Christmas episode. Thought it was brilliant, especially when Charlie attacked Santa in the mall.

    The Russians are saying (get all this from my missus who watches Russian news) that the dad of the dead woman worked at Porton Down and also that their top scientist said that Novichok is only active for about 7-10 days. Hopefully after the tests we will have a clearer idea what happened with...

    Right, this may seem a little contentious, but in some ways maybe it's a good thing we didn't win the World Cup. Even though we clearly aren't good enough, we still could have won it. Had more than enough chances to kill Croatia off and with a bit of luck against France and France not quite on...

    Well that's exactly what I was saying. I only knew of the one statement. Wingy said there was another one and not just that she wanted to go home at some point, but that she wanted to go home soon. Hence my looking for a second statement. Wingy now says that wasn't correct, so there isn't...

    No, that would make me a Welsh miner.

    Ah, but my criteria is also accounting for fairness and playing the game without trying to cheat. Belgium I found to be a more honest side and they played some great football. I didn't like the French way of trying to bend the rules and dive and feign injury. I know Belgium were really...

    Shame for Belgium. Been the best side for me in this compeition and the most entertaining too. They deserve to be in the final, rather than the sulky, feigning French.

    That's because when we win they have already reached it.

    Yeah. Would say we are about 5 or 6 players short.
