    I’ve no problem with anyone playing and if I was manager I’d have probably rotated Pickford for the reason you suggest . However since the weekend we’ve had a slew of articles and comment pieces having a go at the keeper and talking up his...

    Not sure why people constantly say things like that. Southgate was a crap manager. Negative to a fault with no ability to ever drive the team to win anything. Tuchel is just your bog standard England manager who will prefer to select player...

    Nothing would please me more than to see the complete collapse of international football due to the corruption of FIFA and the current Nazi state of America, but it just won't happen. Infantino will continue to make decisions based upon what...

    England are garbage. Not impressed with Tuchel. With squad selection and performances.

    Pickford is head and shoulders above any of his contemporaries. Anybody questioning this is an idiot.

    Find the Henderson love in a bit ridiculous tbh. Did no one actually watch the final? he was very lucky not to be sent off! And suddenly cause he won a cup he's one of England's great hopes.

    Defo! With no pickers in goal, hope Senegal smash them!

    With all the crazy that exists in the world right now, especially on social media, "Not true" seems entirely level-headed to me. Not sure how anyone can ready "crazy" into that Instagram story.

    Everyone else having to wait for scraps from the top table whilst the fat scab six, fresh from trying to leave the league, are the only teams not hampered by any PSR considerations and can buy whoever they want early doors so they’re available...

    But the reality of football is there are very few managerial dynasties these days and a player on a 5 year contract will likely see 2-3 different managers. You can pay off a manager but not a team. So a DoF is there to form a coherent squad...

    You get it backwards. Club should hire managers who play a certain style. England is an outlier where managers have signed the players. Everywhere else you have head coaches who don't sign players (they often do have input, though).

    Their PSR will look healthy but you could easily build a Top 4, dare I say title contending team with just their academy scraps. They'll also give us a much better rate than if these players were breaking through at a smaller club, just look how...

    They offer financial packages that are off the scale so it's another area of football which has financial doping stopping the less wealthy teams from competing. Even Man Utd and Liverpool struggle to compete against their financial muscle at that...

    What exactly is the offence? A trophy?! A succulent European trophy?!

    Financial rules working as planned I see, Chelsea and United getting up to all kinds of hijinks, Villa moved up the table without the special dispensation United received and without resorting to selling parts of the club to themselves... But the...
