Soon as we got a woke, anti-racist, gay pride team that take the knee we marched straight into a major final without conceding a goal from open play

lol surely there must be a connection, it can’t be a coincidence Laurence Fox had a massive meltdown last night which was great

Don’t worry, I’m not political, just laugh when they show themselves up

Its all the bollocks they’re missing now. WAGs, drinking scandals, being wife beaters, sticking phones up their arses, whatever. I think that’s what makes people like this team more than others.

There are no “superstars” and even though someone like Kane has a better scoring record than any of his predecessors so far, he doesn’t come across as the focal point of the team- there is no focal point, it’s a ‘team’.

Reminds me a lot of the City side. Robins remind me a lot of Southgate as well. (Bright = Grealish?)

My big superstition is that I can't watch it in the same place twice.

Only time I did it in the world cup were the Belgium and Croatia games. Can't take the risk.

Haha- I know very little about the man himself, the post made me laugh that’s all.

Before I google him what’s your issue with him?

I would agree actually. Bright probably a bit more wayward than Grealish!

Ok I have it. That particular super injunction didn’t work out too well did it? It’s all over the place

Some football managers are left wing, hardly a surprise is it. More to the point, who cares? Can't say I've ever given a second of thought as to who one of our managers might vote for.

Bit touchy

Perhaps their ideologies make them better equipped to develop a unit that works with & for each other and cares less about the individual? We’re forgetting the late, great Brian Clough of course.

Alex Ferguson is pretty left-wing as well.

Not really, I am tired of politics coming into every thread though. Also please stop pretending you aren't political then making numerous statements that make it obvious you're a lefty, its tiring. I don't mind, you're allowed to be, but at least own it.

It’s an interesting point that had never occurred to me before- the greatest managers do tend to be more left. Don’t see how that’s promoting anyone, if you’re taking it that way then stop being defensive. I’ve never voted for anyone btw, I reserve the right to slate all of them

Sorry I did briefly forget how important it is that we know who all players/managers/fans vote for so we know who to love/hate.

Well if it helps I despise Ferguson and think Keegan is an idiot, it’s not about liking them for their personal lives at all. Just interesting.

Ferguson is thoroughly unlikeable but I respect him a lot with hindsight. Keegan i thought was an alright bloke and an average manager.
Random conversation but I'll take it over politics.
