    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Really? I’m surprised. Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of precedent for government acquiring a business through administration? Virtually no chance it happens, like, but be interesting.

    I feel dirty.

    England squad

    Stipulated in the squad rules - has to be 3 keepers. It’s daft to be honest, and they should scrap it. There’s your squad size, fill it as you wish. If that means an outfield player ends up in goal v France then even better.

    Interesting article on FLW

    Skim-read the article. What a load of absolute wibble.

    Ex Player Watch

    Some differences really though. The release clause probably isn’t that far removed from his actual value if a top PL team come in for him. Unless they are under horrendous financial pressure to sell, he will go for the release fee. Got, what, 4 years remaining on his contract? It’s telling that...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Genuine Q, so don’t get snotty, but what is this actually telling us?

    England v Brazil match thread 23rd March 2024

    Don’t think it’s a “take the brakes off Foden” solution. He plays wide right for Man City and holds the width well. Absolutely nowhere near where he should have been for most of the game yesterday. Clearly struggles to replicate his club form for England - I’m still unconvinced that I’d have him...

    England v Brazil match thread 23rd March 2024

    I’d be tempted to play one of Palmer/Gordon/Bellingham up top if Kane was injured during the tournament. Not seeing it with Watkins at international level. Toney would probably be an improvement but I almost think play to our strengths and try and make the top of the pitch fluid. Maguire is the...

    England squad

    Left field shout for the squad (and accepting it’s too late in the day now really) would have been Ruben Loftus-Cheek to play in that CM position with Rice. Seems from a stats-basis to be having a good season at Milan.

    England v Brazil match thread 23rd March 2024

    I haven’t watched the game yet but I was disappointed to see Fernando Deniz was replaced as manager fairly recently. Granted, Brazil had been naff under him but if you get chance watch some of his ‘tactical’ stuff on YouTube. It’s completely different to the game we’re (and, clearly, most of the...

    Creating noise at Wembley

    What’s the answer then? Went by coach to the P/O final, was awful. Was intending to go by train this time, and the only other option I see is driving which means I can’t have a few beers. Best start walking now I suppose!

    Wembley allocation

    Expecting news on the date (and potentially tickets) by the end of the week.

    FA Cup 23/24

    Thing is, they have this performance in them but they also have the kind of performances that we’d fancy our chances against. Edit: noting, of course, there’s only 13 minutes gone so far.

    FA Cup 23/24

    Really struggles to strike a ball cleanly. It’s bizarre. Genuinely should be about 7th in line out of the Chelsea team.

    ANNOUNCE CITY UNSEEN

    What’s the hold up? I’m getting desperate now.
