Every time Phil plays a little bit of Neil Custis’s heart dies, well what’s left of it the fat croissant scoffing ****

Unsurprisingly no…. Foden by a mile for me

all done without Shaw Rashford and slabhead as we reminded by the rag sycophant--

I missed that, who was it?

Did Dixon say Jack got "a bit of luck" with that finish?

I think he was talking about the ball bobbling about a bit while he was getting it under control. It looked like good control of a bouncing ball while beating two men to me.

Lee Dixon gave it to Rick O'Shea

Poogash - 'Foden PROBABLY man of the match...'.

I f*cking give up.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Did he just say Foden 'probably' man of the match....

They can play them while we’re playing the pointless friendly. It would only need to be a two leg tie.

The benefit is you can reduce the number of games and increase the standard of the competition. Perhaps even look at the international calendar and give players a bit more rest because there’s a real question over how sustainable the current system is.

The smaller nations would have the same right to qualify as everyone else, just like Sunderland have the same right to play in the Champions League as City. But that doesn’t mean everyone with that right has to play everyone else with the same right.

This game has finished 5-0 and both teams are probably equally satisfied with the result. It is a waste of time.

You reduce nothing though because whilst they're playing that qualifier we will play a friendly against somebody only marginally better with absolutely nothing at stake.

You really think if we didn't play that game tonight we would be giving the players rest and wouldn't be playing the highest bidder in a friendly thousands of miles away instead?

When he was on Five Live he was excellent but he’s dumbed down well for ITV.
