… and to never play in the Championship for them when they got there.

He is a solid player, but if you’re a club that wants to get to the Prem, he’ll only get you so far. That’s been the story of his career with Brentford, Swansea and now us. It’s rational that LB is an area we wish to improve. He’s also on the ‘wrong’ side of 30 so at some point, there needs to...

Whatever happened to trusting the manager that’s took us from the depths of L2 to promotion chasing Championship team? Every summer people moan about players who’ll become their favourite players. The lesson is, year in and year out, is to have patience and the players usually come good.

It’s easier said than done though, EMC’s club before Peterborough was Barnet in non-league. We’re just not likely to pick these players up and give them the game time to develop into multi-million pound players. Two examples from our recent history; Allasani and Jodi Jones (post-injury).

Biden has just come out and declared that he ‘did well’ in the debate. It’s pretty unfathomable at this stage that he’ll actually stand for re-election on Nov.

It’s not out of the question, it it’s worth noting that a lot of internal migration within the USA is from high tax (usually blue states) moving to low tax states (usually red states). Overtime, California could become a swing state too because there’s a lot of dissatisfaction with how the...

I believe he has to step down ‘voluntarily’ to make it quick and clean. Last nights debate has shown how much the Biden administration has been gaslighting the public about the state of his health. A week or two before the debate the press secretary was claiming all the videos showing his poor...

Godden scored 1 league goal since September last season. First two Championship seasons, he was great for us but now he’s surplus to requirements. In my view, he doesn’t have physical qualities to stay at Championship standard.

Away too, the only benefit is that I’ve not Ashton Gate yet and there’s 30 points in offering.

I imagine Simms shot conversion % was dragged down with his disappointing 2023 compared to an electric 2024. I guess Asante would be ‘proven’ Championship quality that is affordable and happy to not be first choice.

It’s the easy side of the group because the we won our group and France came 2nd. Previous England teams have played themselves into the harder side of the draw by not winning the group. In 2002 and 2010 there was a good chance we could’ve gotten to a semi-final (at least) had we won the group...

Even if we got to, and lost, the final it can’t be considered a failure if really. If I was Southgate, I’d walk regardless of the result. We don’t win it all, he sacks off all the grief he gets regularly and if we win it, he resigns on a high. If France were in our bracket, I’d consider a SF...

Agreed, I spent €200 on the England match, which was ‘cheap’ considering most listings were €400 initially… which is the most I’ve spent on a footy match. Improvement is needed, 1000% agreed… the tournament so far has had so many underperforming favourites. Ourselves, France and Belgium in...

To be honest, looking at how this group stage has panned out, I don’t think our performances have been *that* bad. France, Belgium, Italy - 2nd place Netherlands - 3rd place Portugal - lost a game Germany - needed a stoppage time goal to avoid finishing 2nd The only team to come out best is...

Realistically, UEFA will only expand it and I’m not against that, but let’s reduce the qualification process because I agree the competition would be weaker. It’s fundamentally unfair, for example, that the teams in the later groups know exactly what they need to progress so it becomes like a...

I honestly think it’s ruining the group stages at the Euros. To reflect on last nights game, but this applies elsewhere too, Slovenia were happy for a draw even if they finished 3rd place. In this round of games, Romania and Slovakia both know they’re through irrespective of that happens in the...

Good shout! The tram was only the second worst 45 minute experience I had that evening… Looking forward to a nice break for the booze and terrible diet now! 😂

Well, with France being on the other side of the draw we really ought to be making the final roster if there are no more surprises in the group. My big hope is that we’ll get a big result against the Dutch, people get the ‘Southgate you’re the one’ song going and the narrative around the team...

I have no qualms with the squad selection going into the tournament, the only real ‘debate’ was the midfield i.e. should Trent play there or Bellingham/Foden. Now that’s been ‘discredited’ people don’t know what to do. It irritates me when the pundits then turnaround and call more or less the...

Was the reason to get minutes in his legs for the KO rounds. He really played 90m the weeks leading up to the camp, same with Kane too. Bellingham was awful last night and if he’s unfit, I’d start Foden 10, drop Bellingham and start Palmer for Saka. At least last nights performance showed that...
