Correct we have no choice but it’s great to follow a club and national team that you love, even if it is through more thin than thick. I was nearly 40 before I saw city win anything and if even if England prevail next week I will be nearly 50 before I see my country win anything. Wouldn’t change it for the world.I don't have a choice. But heh, that's football. You're stuck with your team. A shit team, with no depth or strikers that should have beat you.
This has the makings of lifting a nation, it is that big.Exactly right. Whether you are behind England or not, it has given many, many people a much needed morale boost, got friends and families having a laugh together and generated income for industries like the pub trade to help in their recovery.
I'm a big fan of Raheem, Pablo. He's a proper grafter and has the talent to go with it.Oh I agree, the defence have been great and nothing at all to criticise them for, my earlier point on maguire was in response to him being one of England's best players over Sterling which I find an impossible take over the five games played so far.
Sterling has played a huge part in every game be it assisting or being the match winner. He's caused the opposition problems in every game so whilst Maguire has been a steady influence alongside Stones I just don't see how he can be seen to have performed better than Sterling.
Unless of course you start from a position where you don't rate Sterling in the first place.
Even the commentators do that during attacking moves. Sort of ' the football can wait while I tell my joke.'Agree with this. I can’t listen to the nonsense when City play and I’m starting to get really irritated by the commentary on England games. Boring pundits laughing continuously is not for me either.
I envy you.I'd have done the same, Mike, but my ERO had the remote and seems to revel in England a lot more 'n I do so I was able to enjoy' the aftermatch interviews with Slabhead 'n Sancho (now he's a Swamp Donkey!)
Oh dear modern technology is rather difficult for you oldies;)I missed two goals as the tv was on mute and I was glancing on my phone and bluemoon lol. I knew England had scored because of the bluemooners !!. It got abit confusing when bluemooners were celebrating a goal but they hadnt scored on my tv. I than realised I had reround the match at some point and forgot to forward it again lol.
if that was dull last night then he’s got no chance of pleasing
When you you have a vested interest and the adrenaline is flowing, you don't really notice the quality of the football. What you might consider the dullest and most boring game of football will totally absorb me if it is City of England playing.Again, go back and read my comments about England before the game. I think you have great players who can make you better. I don't think I'm alone here on that view. As for watching them? You could have a point, but I like the way Denmark are playing and I wouldnt want to miss that. And on the Scotland, brief page, there was nothing but, come on, whoever we were playing. And you're shit, you're wank, you are dire etc. I didnt throw my teddy out the pram, because it's true. So when I say the truth, you're boring to watch, you don't play your best players who could lift the team, I'm all the cunts. I honestly think you have one of the best squads. Southgate has a system that has worked against teams so far. My worry and it should be yours, is will that work when you are playing top teams? Italy for example. Even Denmark? Time will tell. It always does. But here's a thing. If you are found out, I bet there is a backlash of people saying he never played our guys who could keep the ball, dribble and put teams under sustained pressure. Move forward at pace. Foden, Grealish, to name two. I don't have a dog in the race, so I just want to watch teams olay exciting football. Have you been excited by the football England have played?
