Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

He was great for England and just what they needed initially but it’s been stale and downhill since the Euros. Fallen into the same traps of every other national coach of picking favourites and playing it safe. It’s not a good barometer to compare his record to previous coaches as he’s got a far, f...

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

Great, the players like him. But what’s he done? Took England to their first major semifinal in almost three decades at the 2018 World Cup in Russia before following on with an appearance in the Euro 2020 final. Only Cappello has a better win rate and that's with less than half the games. I don't s...

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

He's been the best manager England have had for years. You only have to listen to the players to realise that.

Re: Migrants crossing the Channel

Overseas aid sounds great in theory, but too often it is corrupted by the local government officials. You think about just how bad the Tories are at wasting money, or spending whilst in partnership with dubious partners. Most of the countries where aid goes would make this lot look like route amate...

Re: Plastic fantastic

Control the controllable in your life. If you can't stop someone from getting angry, don't give them a reason to get angry. I've read this numerous times before responding but it still comes across as victim blaming. Am i missing something? As for the question posed by the OP... no of course he's n...

Re: Jibbing to become unlawful.

I was at the Final of the Euros. I was queuing right by the disabled entrance that got forced where multiple ***** forced their way in - I watched that from a handful of feet away. A bloke asked to push in behind me, a bloke tried to force his way in behind my mate, multiple people were trying to s...

Expectations are resentments in the making. Moyes is absolutely correct to keep them in check and realistic.

Re: Trump

You're wasting your breath. Trumpists don't want logic. Their cognitive bias washes all your facts away. He validates their racist, misogynistic, nationalistic thoughts and there's nothing you can say to make them think any different. Their fear trumps your truth (pun intended). But well done for tr...

Re: Rugby Union 2024

Despite Ireland not getting out of second gear it was a decent afternoon of rugby. Loved Scotlands mauling of England after they'd given them a try start. Sets up a decent game in Dublin between the Slam holders and Scotland on Paddy's weekend.

Re: The Police

Met Police officer. Couzens received wall to wall coverage, Sky even had the yellow ticker tape going when he was arrested and convicted. They don't even have a story anywhere on the website for this piece of sh*t. Can only see one difference. Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving Met Officer. Th...

Re: To Those That Went Today

Stayed to the bitter end. The place is better with 20,000 in it. The crowd were livelier at 0:6 than they were at 0:0 ! Us as well. Actually thought the atmosphere was pretty good. Ironically they scored their first when the BML shifted from "signed for a big club" to "**** Kalvin Ph...

Caught up with the Ireland v Italy game after getting back from the London Stadium. Cheered me up no end. Some great starts from Ireland and happy to keep Italy to zero. Andy Farrell is sounding more Irish every time he's interviewed according to my Lancastrian wife... The big game will be Scotland ...
