England v Serbia - Thu 13th Nov '25, 19:45 | Word Cup Qualifier

[roy.or.r]

What has propelled our player to attain these achievements?

Certainly not the love and support of UEFA/PL/UK Sport media.

To paraphrase Pep; "Everything we've won we've had to do it without any help"

Yeah we never get referee decisions. Hilarious.

JONATHAN NORTHCROFT
Buzzing Bellingham makes point to Tuchel with superb cameo

From The Times.
Behind a pay wall but the headline says it all.
The media has so much invested in him that they really can't just bring themselves to call it any other way. It's beyond parody.

He’s Scottish. He’s trying to sabotage England .

 

[johnny crossan]

I didn’t, hence the Simon Cowelling.

your cedilla was a surprise, a bit of inadvertent accuracy I suspect though.

Funny. Have done credit, but it must have been accidental…

See you on Sunday at 4:58pm for your next critique, before the following one in Perth a week tomorrow.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yeah we never get referee decisions. Hilarious.

115?
UEFA trying to screw us over using fake emails?
Scouse hacking?
Constant media accusations of us cheating our successes.

Northcroft is one of the brightest Caledonian headlamps.

As usual it will be uncompromising but honest as its importance deserves.

The Bellingham hate on here has become an obsession.

Tell me what he did to receive the praise not only from Matterface but the post match review

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

As usual it will be uncompromising but honest as its importance deserves.

Indeed. So much so that no one else comments nor reacts.

The Spanish haven’t sung their anthem for nigh on a century and it doesn’t do them much harm. ;-)

let's have a poll.

Lol

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Great work from Nico and Foden. Bellingham is a prick, hopefully Tuchel sees him for what he is - a petulant fraud

Actually, it probably showed where Bellingham can enhance our game. Coming from a deeper role to support the more technical players in the final third.

Look at what he did in a more forward role, absolutely nothing and clogged the space, but in a deeper role it allows for better transition.

 

[Saddleworth2]

So I watched the first half and thought Nico was neat and tidy for his debut. Interested that he inverted every time we played out from the back and I counted two passes to him from Rashford.
How did he play in the second half and how was Phil? Did Phil play 9 or 8?

 

[Fat Larrys Band]

They cancelled Emmerdale.....

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They cancelled Emmerdale.....

So it’s not all bad then.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

What fans of other clubs post is totally irrelevant, I urge you to listen to our Chairman carefully when the ruling about the latest attack via the PL is announced. Unbelievable that folk can still think we are not targeted for destruction by the redshirt cartel.

Of course it’s relevant. It’s just football fans on their forums, neither of whom are right, but who all think they’re right.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Tuchel has already said he sees him as one of his 10’s, which means Foden or Eze will likely be dropped for him in the big games

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

The Bellingham hate on here has become an obsession.

Not hate, just calling out those who can't or won't see, and think the emperor's new clothes are lovely

He was described in commentary as a global superstar, or words to that effect. I mean give me a fucking break.

No City bias either. Saka, Kane and Rice are all far better players, and more importantly, play for the team.

 

[simmo]

Both Phil and Eze were superb when they came on second half.

Nico had a good debut.

Not sure why the away end was virtually empty - must have been no more than 35 in it.
