    Agreed I said similar in an earlier post. Not sure what he offers. Walker was shite last game though to be fair so seemed a good call on paper.

    I like Southgate, he’s been positive in many ways for England, and I tend to see the rationale in his decisions, but tonight has been very very poor. Foden off was bizarre, keeping Rice/Phillips likewise, and Sterling too.

    Our set pieces are appalling.

    Admittedly I don’t watch much premier league football, so it’s not based on much, but am I missing something re the Reece James hype?

    Poor performance so far. Front three have been poor. Time for Grealish, maybe for Phillips/Rice and drop Mount deeper. Potentially look at Sancho (although he’s poor for England) or Rashford for Sterling at some point too. Kane is non-existent but DCL is poor so we can’t really change him.

    Bloody hell that was close. Other than 10 minutes we’ve not been at the races at all.

    They are bang up for it as expected. Won’t last.

    European championships 2020 thread

    Sort of glad it’s Scotland and not someone like North Macedonia or Finland etc, as it adds way more excitement and the slight chance they could upset us - makes it feel more like a proper game as opposed to (on paper) an easy win against a poor side. Last few competitions I’ve either managed to...

    Transfer Rumour Billy Gilmour

    This has received way too much ridicule. It isn’t as farfetched as it may sound.

    Disappointed about James, but not devastated. He become more influential and impressive the more he played, but I don’t think he’s a unique player and we’ll hopefully have similar targets in mind. Obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, but Sheaf can be just as good. He’s not as experienced...

    New Kittens - Help!

    Thanks for the advice so far all - much appreciated! Any tips on the best place for the kittens to slee at night? I’ve read a few varying reports. My partner wants to set them up in our room (but definitely not in our bed), but the downside is a likely poor nights sleep for us? Equally if they...

    New Kittens - Help!

    Thanks all. As I sit outside my daughters room after initially putting them to bed two hours again, with them both still wide awake, and my partner still at the hairdressers SEVEN hours later, all I can think is: stitch up!

    Reassuring to hear!

    New Kittens - Help!

    Not sure of the circumstances but I assume they’re up for adoption for a reason. Yes we have been told to keep them indoors for circa 6 months? Any other tips?

    New Kittens - Help!

    Despite having two children under two, and currently in the middle of a (long) house renovation, for some unbeknown reason my partner has decided to adopt two kittens…. Other than a previous partner having a dog, I have no experience of pets really. So any advice on two eight week old kittens...

    Not sure on the 3 years. Where are you getting that from?

    More about what else we are doing to this summer (I know I’m repeating my own previous post), so if he signs it’s a really good sign of our intentions.

    Paterson one is 100% true. I’d say it’s 80/20 to happen.

    European championships 2020 thread

    Just found this thread; was an interesting read! Of the squad selection, I think JWP is most hard done by, especially for with the four RB situation. If we play a 5, you could justify three as Walker can play CB in a 3, but if it’s a 4 then it doesn’t make sense, no matter how good the players...

    Running

    My mileage has really dropped the last two weeks, predominantly as I’m struggling to find time to fit my long runs in now the weekends are busy again. I need to change that pretty sharpish as the marathon is getting ever closer and I’m still not back to my pre-covid fitness levels yet.
