Barton was just after clicks/views and would spout any old rubbish to make a few bob. Has attempted to sell himself as a reformed character and misunderstood intellectual but failed miserably as he lacked the charm , charisma or intellect to carry it off. Gave up and has gone for the outrageous...

I think it would be easier to employ Klopps tactics for England than Guardiolas. Strong defence , Great attack and bypass Midfield who would be there to press high and win back possession in opposition half.

Considering the output in the last 4 tournaments for a group of players you collectively consider shite can't wait until we add just a couple of quality players and we will be romping home. I do think we are just missing one or two from the first team. The weight of numbers and the levels of...

World class coach and could dazzle the opposition keeper if it went to penalties with his full beam teeth.

I have no problem scots , Irish and welsh not wanting England to win another trophy. Despite having Welsh , Irish and Scots relatives I would hate to see them lift a trophy (support them winning games but trophy winning would be a step to far). That's just part of the football makeup. I do think...

Looks very very good in comparison to others in same age group but think as spurs giving him an early showing in the PL he will stay put. Watched the youth cup semi with Han Willhoft-King playing in it I think but can't say I noticed him more than any other player (although Spurs looked a decent...

Possibly but I cheered the conversion from the rafters and will do again if we get another like it on Sunday. Must admit I have moved on thinking about it (will leave that to the Dutch).

Win your group and the draws get easier. We only got the "lucky" side by being top.

I really don't care whether the penalty should or should not have been given. The important thing was we converted it and although we could not take advantage of being the much superior side in the first half we did made sure we did not lose it when the game was pretty even in the second. The...

As would mine - he would be apoplectic if he saw Corrigan above him (never got over his early showings)

No contest. Title winner, cup winner , undisputed England number 1 and missed most of his best years due to the small matter of a world war. I know those who saw him (including elderly rags) would place him at the top of the lot but not many left who witnessed him play (same with those who...

You could be right. Worked with some Stockport fans who said he was a decent player and thought he'd been recommended by Hartford to us but must have looked poor in training and not at the level we were expecting.

Was it £80k & 1 game and off memory we sold him back for £50k. Presumably decorated the Boardroom and painted the changing rooms while he was here and would have cost us more than we lost on the transfer.

Was googling that until the penny dropped !!

But will disproportionately impact City the way its being applied. In effect every deal that is struck with a gulf state is open to scrutiny and review as the majority owner happens to be from the Gulf and deemed to be in a position of influence. Every US owner (or owner from practically any...

We looked unbalanced second half and did the usual retreat to the edge of our own box that has seen us lose a semi in the WC and the not grasp the opportunity in the Euro finals. For me England have to play Phil in centre of the pitch (would also use Palmer in that position as back up to Phil or...

Because the new rules would leave us having most of our sponsorship deals being valued by a group of rival clubs as to what they believe "fair value" is. They could choose not to sanction commercial deals we consider crucial to growing the business and devalue a 10 year sponsorship deal for us...

Was that his injury ?

No really paid much attention to Eze but when I have he has not blown me away. Accept that those who have watched him a lot more than me seem to really rate him but not sure thats where we are most desperate for an upgrade given Doku looked like he was an a significant upward trajectory.

Would agree with this if in the contract but think it then moves on to when the payments are made - cash up front , spread over life of contract etc. Would imagine every buying club would want a discount for up front payments whilst the sellers want the cash up front without the discount. Think...
