Well they did against Huddersfield Town…

Man City, of course, play with two holding midfielders, but that is a sign of negative, unambitious football which we should never accept.

Gave away my entire CD collection when I moved back to the UK a few years ago. Kept a few rarities and stuff I knew wasn’t on streaming services and that’s it. Still paranoid it’ll bite me in the arse one day, but realistically you’re just not using them anymore and file formats are only going...

You have to admire Wright and Shearer for their work ethic, can’t have been easy juggling a pro football career during their prime years and a full-time gig on MOTD throughout the 90s. I suppose hatred of Coventry City can really spur a man on.

I don’t believe that 1 in 4 people would see me putting an England flag in my window (or in a pub, or shop window, or office, or car) and assume I was flying a racist flag - otherwise you’d expect to hear about it pretty quick and hardly anyone would bother. In reality….well, again, you’d have...

Think that’s a pretty good example of how relying on surveys for wisdom is a pretty poor substitute for actually going outside.

Well there’s a fair bit of hindsight there. He hasn’t tried Watkins against good opponents before and maybe he won’t again, but he’s been outstanding this season. Gallagher I’ve never really rated. The clamour for Mainoo seems like a bit of a Hail Mary to me at this point. He really is...

Whatever you do, DON’T press the button below, Alan will get even more upset than he already is

Maguire is a symptom rather than a cause of England’s problems. It’s been years now of people moaning about how he’s not good enough, and yet still no-one can settle on who the replacement should be. It’s a dire landscape in that position, and not the only one either.

I understand the desire to be entertained, but it’s not really the point of a friendly is it. If last night has shown how far off some players are from being able to compete playing in our usual system then it’s a useful exercise. Better than playing some kind of Harlem Globetrotters exhibition...

Didn’t see the game last night (not a great day all round for me yesterday) but sounded grim. Looked like a pretty makeshift team by the end of the game, but the flaws in the team are glaring - dire choices at CB, no obvious partner for Rice at the base of the midfield, no credible depth up...

Fascist

Do you feel guilty about being English? If not, then you don’t really have much to worry about. Personally I feel very comfortable being proud of my nationality, while at the same time being able to acknowledge the views of those who see this country in a different way. After all, pride in...

I don’t think anyone can claim he’s not successful, the man was a washed up reality host who became President of the United States!

Are there? You can’t move for them during a football tournament or royal celebration. I’m sure there are nutjob killjoys who occasionally pipe up - doesn’t mean our national identity is suddenly taboo, does it?

Trains from Surrey tend to use either Waterloo or Victoria so should be fine

Well I guess we’ll find out in November - he’s never won a majority of votes in a presidential election. He’s certainly had a successful career, although a shame he can’t seem to find the money for his bond conditions in NY.

Can’t be much more confusing than the book!

Where are people being dismissed or told to feel guilty? I personally don’t feel anywhere near these levels of insecurity about showing pride in my country - public displays are all over the place these days, I can’t think of many flags or traditions that are now considered taboo.

Anyone taking on 3 Body Problem on Netflix? The book is bonkers, quite interested to see how they adapt it for TV, but the first two episodes felt a bit slow to me.
