Reply | Best ever QPR friendlies
at 19:34 26 Jun 2024
I was at the Man Utd one.
It ended up 4-2. United got a late goal but at 4 - 1 and after Moses got a worldie and Dykes looked a player and I was predicting a play off promotion push after that and man Utd did have a few first teamers on the pitch.
Seen some random ones - away at Aldershot and away at Windsor and my dads mate was the chairman there - not that meant much !!!!
I would be interested in the Spurs game if only to see Son play although not sure he will.
Always good to see an international top class player,.
Decent friendlies though but friendlies they are !!! |

Kane Foden Saka and Bellingham from form shown so far, are all eminently droppable.
Will all four play next game - Southgate will still pick all four no doubt !!
I would pre tournament say that all four are un droppable but if any of them were not in the starting line up next game, I would more likely be in agreement with that decision.
It's been the defensive five that have done well.
Although full back choices could change more because of contributions required in attack.
It's a funny old game !!! |

Under 8s girls would be my bet
Seriously though 89th minute sub Anthony Gordon, Ainsworth-esque man management qualities!! [Post edited 25 Jun 22:13]

I used to hate Ainsworth bringing on Willock in 95th minute but bringing Gordon on in 89th minute.
Seriously. That to me is idiotic man management.
Actually Gordon made one superb pass which was enough.
Cole Palmer and Mainoo staked claims.
But Foden, Kane and Bellingham were all poor but especially Bellingham. Didn't notice he was playing in the second half.
How can England create Bellingham, a Rolls Royce for the mighty Real Madrid, yet for England he is a Robin Reliant and the Robin Reliant that fails the MOT also !!! |

Cifuentes's Rangers v Southgate's England
If Slovenia can nullify our threat so easily, could the might of Loftus Road do a job on this group of players and manager. |

The development squad players all announced individually so far, but not sure if scouting players for youth squads and above done any differently
Obviously Eze fell into that category of scouting.
You can never be one hundred percent sure about younger players and there are no guarantees re progression but am certain we scout each year and doubt it's anything new.
We just would not have heard about in times gone past..... etc [Post edited 25 Jun 10:51]

Reply | Marti interview with sky
at 13:09 24 Jun 2024
Well it was the much maligned - incredibly unfairly IMHO - Les Ferdinand !!
Was due to be appointed but we chose Mick Beale instead as we had to pay around £1 million release clause for Marti
If Cifuentes had arrived at that time, Les's legacy would have been secured.
Replacing Warburton - who had us stabilised and competing - with Cifuentes to replace him, good work from Les and the team !!
But for many the wrong choice but for the right reasons ie saving money, Beale basically ensured Les had a few failures as managers before his Les's inevitable demise.
One decision away from a totally different legacy for Les !! [Post edited 24 Jun 13:17]

Scotland were unlucky
The penalty at the very least required VAR to assess - that didn't happen !!
But as VAR used so randomly, this was one of the cases where it was necessary - get rid !! |

Marti is going nowhere
These "journos" are making up rumours
Bookmakers in cohorts with them - lampard was 1/3 be manager recently. The journos get money from clicks. Easy assumption to make ie Marti did well.
Blooming eck boys - no need stress !!!
Stop reading made up shyte and stop believing bookies !!!

Reply | Potential update on Illias Chair...
at 12:41 21 Jun 2024
Agree with this.
Was at the end of a Christmas do and work colleague who seemed a reasonable and decent man at work, got involved in a fight that escalated and all sorts was going on. Drink changed that.
And remember Ben Stokes knockout punch outside a nightclub to some guy that was abusing a couple of gay men.
Ilias still fortunate but probably this hanging over him, has meant he has stayed with us.
If there is no custodial sentence, am wondering whether another club comes in for him
But yes indeed a lucky man , it seems. [Post edited 21 Jun 12:42]

Err yes
Many years of study for a PhD but in some you can qualify through different routes. I had heard on question time he was introduced as studying for one. Doubt he completed it.
I have a BA (hons) and attempted to get on a masters course many years ago but wasnt up to the standard but different subjects have all sorts of ways in to higher education . But thanks for the heads up about what a PhD involves !!!
Who knows with Barton. Just because he is an angry man, doesn't mean he can't apply himself to education.
Intelligence and application can be achieved regardless of personality characteristics.
But yes of course you could be an ex player. Words on a fans forum would be a place that could be, quite obviously.
Can you please play as our centre forward next season ??
My real first name is Rishi and I am quite busy at the moment !!!

This could be seen as unkind
But Gareth Southgate is the "Gareth Ainsworth" of international football...
I know we not the greatest squad but Ainsworth building his squad up to say we are massively achieving if we finish fourth bottom with dead end tedious displays with no apparent game plan.
Cifuentes allowed our fourth bottom squad to perform like play off challengers
Southgate has a squad of supremely talented players and four players are in the top six of goal involvements in all European leagues.
In fact it's worse because he has a talent for making top professionals look like the Dog and Ducks second eleven playing after an incredibly heavy night before
I appreciate a lot of people would not have picked either of these players, but I felt tonight was crying out for Grealish, Rashford or Sterling to come on as game changers.
Even if afterthought, but experience is key. And know some here not like it ie Chelsea connections etc but Chilwell too is a seasoned professional.
Am all for youth but it has seemed many of his squad selections were bowing to public pressure.
The game did need changes and myself was happy Bowen, Eze and Watkins came on but they all very new to tournament and international football.
It's a uneducated shot in the dark.
Could have had Rashford, Grealish and Sterling but 27 seems to be past it now....
Play players in their club positions where they excel.
Clearly Trent, Tripper, Foden all are lesser players when out of position.
They always said Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes their preferred midfield partner was Carrick.
It's about a team that know and excel at their roles.
Not shoehorning the square pegs in the round holes.
But less than that the lack of quality, passion and team cohesion was alarming
And yet as always with Southgate, we have almost guaranteed qualification once more so others would say job done.
I personally would much rather three stunning performances in qualification and yet all 3 - 4 reverses.
If we can showcase our fantastic players in the best way possible, the fact we achieve one less round further forward, who cares. I don't.
If we somehow got to the final or even won by playing so disjointedly and with such poor quality, I wouldn't be ecstatic at winning.
Football is an entertainment sport, to get fans off their seats and create fantastic experience for the paying fans.
If they paying £500 a game to watch top players and got served up this absolute dross, I personally would be seriously peed off, win , lose or draw.
The fact JFH is part of Southgates entourage of helpers says all we need to know.
Would love to be on the edge of my seat for all subsequent England games here, but can't see that happening !!@!
The word is .... Dullard !! |

Vine has done well out of it.
£75 k for a few nasty tweets about him
I have had on occasions had the odd nasty email etc but all I got out of it was wound up.
Barton is wrong in many ways and is one of many that misuse their keyboards.
In olden times, people said these things to people but you could not report it to the police etc and it was impossible for legal action. Another fault in the days legal systems where real crimes like burgarlies, and many many scans are never even investigated at all but write something nasty down and it clogs the leak system up.
Am not in agreement at all with stupid pathetic and nasty words against Vine. It's idiotic tbh.
But amyhow Barton has passed the most advanced of coaching qualifications.
Whoopee doo for him
Bit like an alcoholic passing his driving test !!! |
