Play Mainoo because I couldn’t give two fucks about England any more.

 

[PPT]

I see the media are pushing for (special) mainoo to start ahead of Arnold, thall be Phil either dropped or stuck out on the left on his.own again

I can see Phil being dropped for tomorrow night, and England win ( as they should) and that will effectively be the end of the tournament for him. Benched to be brought on when ( not if) desperate.
Fucking scandalous if that does happen. Let’s hope not.

It will cos everyone else but southgate can see Bellingham should be the 8 Phil in the 10 role , cannot understand how he doesn't see.it , fucking scandalous that the national.manager cannot find a role for premiership player of the year , a generational talent compared to gazza ect pre tournament by everyone

 

[Gazza]

Southgate is the kind of manager that would put Messi at left back to allow Jamie Pollock to play at number 10.

After the Serbia game I'm.the same , it's laughable that southgate has been working.on that system against Serbia for a year,!!!! the media are picking the side anyway , all I've heard is drop Foden , kane even though he didn't touch the ball benefitted England, saka was superb , mainoo should replace Arnold,, rice was awesome , Bellingham the poster boy ran the show ,Gueh was excellent , no mention of walker or stones , when in truth noone was more than a 5/10 performance

Great analogy I know it won't happen but let's see how Bellingham plays left wing with trippier behind him so Phil can play the 10 ? If Rice was so good then it should allow for Phil to play the 10 effectively

I think you're right

I heard a podcast the other day - The News Agents (Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel) featuring an interview with Barney 'Grinning Beards' Ronay.

He was commending the stance of the French team against racism and the NF party led by Marine Le Pen.

And he did so apparently without intending to be ironic.

Might have another pro City voice in the punditry team soon, I know they don’t tend to go for keepers but Joe Hart has been great on the coverage tonight.

He's crap

 

[xgorton]

Every night on the BBC football gossip site it's all about rags,rags and facking rags,unbelievable.

Plus side is he gets plenty of rest and less chance of an injury, so maybe it would be a good thing. I don't care about International football one bit so I prefer City players not being picked.

Wouldn’t be a bad thing tbh. It’ll eventually expose what the real issues are.

Don’t think it’ll happen though, he’ll play him again.

Really enjoyed Joe on the Scotland game last night. Really brought his knowledge across well.

Extra bonus he is Russ Abbot!

I wouldn't go there far I don't think southgate would even pick Messi in the first place

 

[Protein Junkie]

Southgate is the kind of manager that would put Messi at left back to allow any bang average rag or dipper to play at number 10.

Amended Gazza.

Missed it yesterday. Did he sport the "Jim'll Jinx It" ginger wig?

Did he say anything about the atmosphere ?

 

[feelymcfeel]

Gotta say I am sick to fuckin death with the media banging on about Jude Bellingham like he's the second coming. He's a diving, petulant, arrogant shit that is no doubt a good player but nowhere near as good as they keep telling us.
