Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[PITA]

Henderson is horrendous, can't believe he's captain, struts around thinking he's boss, anything other than a sideways pass and he gives it away, taking all the set pieces hitting nobody. The only thing I hate more is that ******* band. Why?

I know that I wear blue tinted specs but I totally agree. He's a yard dog.

What vegetable would you photoshop Southgate onto? I'm struggling to think of a vegetable that is bland enough.

Cauliflower is about as bland as Veg gets, that would suit him.

You've never had over boiled courgette have you?

Wonder if England will ever be good in my lifetime

He makes me remember Sammy Lee as a cross between Ossie Ardiles and Gunter Netzer*


*And let's face it. Lee was the definition of yard dog

It really is incredible to think someone thought it was reasonable to pay for £50m + for Walker.

Watching England in Spanish has fulfilled a dream.

Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll puta Betrand

 

[LinekersLegs]

Good strike but questionable keeping.

 

[Billy Dean]

I'd like to see Rashford and Kane as a front two with Alli just behind.

 

[heartscry2286]

3-0. We're going to win the World cup here

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Very flattering end result.

I turned off after 20 minutes. I realised I was no longer interested in the England football team. I like the Ox, but him suddenly going from the fringe to straight in as an England starter because he's transferred to the rs, irritated me.

The tippy tappey football annoys the hell out of me too. It's football by statistics. The Henderson stat of his accurate passes gets him into the team. Not bevause he's any good, but because he does the easy simple stuff of passing the ball to the person next to him. They all take the easy option, nobody really has the confidence that their salaries should bestow to take a risk .

Give me the swashbuckling players of the 70s and 80s please. We've been mesmerised into playing the euro way and it's hideously dull! Any England team from before the mid 90s would have won this by 15!

Glad Scotland won

Hope they sneak into the play offs

Lithuania 0 - 3 Scotland

Finally a decent performance under Strachan. On top from the first whistle 'til the last, but poor results earlier in the campaign have hindered our potential progress. Tierney, Philips, Armstrong and Robertson (MOM for me) were superb. Yeah, I know Robertson has just signed for the RS, but he was outstanding tonight and scored a cracker.

Funny that isn't it?

Notice that moving to a bigger club didn't work for Pickford and Keane. Yes, I know that Pickford had to withdraw.

Wonder if they would have fared better had they joined the RS.
