Man U look the same as they did last season which is encouraging. Fulham aren't particularly good but still managed to be dangerous. Bringing on two CBs in the 81st minute at 0-0. Inspiring.

How many times have we properly done succession planning under Fosun? Off the top of my head can only think of us having midfielders ready for when we lost Neves and Moutinho, and we signed Sa quite quickly after selling Patricio. Selling players and not replacing in adequate time is the norm...

Arsenal 3-1 Wolves. Prefer cutoff to be when the game kicks off.

And everyone setting off the fire alarm on the doors... Feels so much longer than five years ago to me. Such a pedestrian performance but as a moment playing in Europe it was brilliant.

Feels like with Sessegnon a lot of the initial hype was because he was supposed to be a left-back but in reality regularly played left-wing for Fulham. Many saw the stats of how many goals he supposedly scored as a FB and thought he was a supreme attacking defender, whereas in reality he looks...

Didn't realise they actually had a 1966 block, embarrassing.

Good read, hard to disagree with anything. The criticism for Pickford is tiresome, much of it is so outdated. I think Luke Shaw still looked a bit off the pace against Switzerland, and although he was excellent in the first half of the final vs Yamal you could see his lack of match fitness on...

Doesn't seem like when we sacked McCarthy at all, unless you mean in the sense the manager lost grip on the tactics and had taken the team as far as he could.

Thanks for the memories but it is the right decision. Taken us as far as he can. Zero confidence in the FA to appoint a good candidate. They didn't choose Southgate willingly, they chose Allardyce and interviewed Bruce. Southgate stepped in after that debacle. Betting odds full of spurious...

They are making both of these tournaments so easy to qualify for so that any of the big but shit countries with large viewerships will be there, at this point you have to be a real bottom feeder to fail to make it.

Scumbag, hope the player gets named and shamed. Thierry Henry is one of their owners, you would hope Como themselves will deal with it in addition to any Uefa process. Right for O'Neil to ask Hwang whether he wanted to continue or not as we had every right to walk off.

Greg Halford Michael Mancienne Karl Henry - final two seasons and onwards, arrogant and a liability Dave Edwards - lovely guy but the media narrative about Dangerous Dave and the notion he was the Championship Lampard wound me up Matt Doherty Fabio Silva Jack Robinson Kaspars Gorkss Sheyi Ojo...

Watford hurt a lot more, the manner of the defeat was devastating when we should have won and normally saw out games like that comfortably. Two goals up, conceding the equaliser in injury-time. The confidence completely went after they pulled one back and I found extra-time a complete misery...

Pretty gutting here in Berlin. The setup was OK and we won the main battle (wing-backs) in the first half, I was surprised by how well Luke Shaw did to start. That said, our aim was only ever to nullify Spain. In the second half Spain gained that edge we were lucky they didn't go out of sight...

Getting rid of Bentley for even a nominal fee would be excellent business, we need a new backup. Arsenal also being linked to Szczesny so it may be they only want Bentley as third-choice.

The tournament in general has been pretty light on quality, many of the bigger nations are playing incredibly negatively. So on that point we are keeping with the general trend at Euro 2024. I think the point was made on the post-match analysis of France-Portugal but when games go to extra time...

Southgate has bottled dropping Foden which is disappointing. Usually he took his time but ultimately would drop a player who did not perform. Let's hope he does well today. Similarly it feels a waste to play Trippier when we now have Walker covering - would prefer TAA for once.

That's the team I would go with as well. As bad as he was against Slovakia, having Walker in at the RCB covering means we can play Alexander-Arnold in the right position. Foden has been really disappointing, drop him and it might give Bellingham more space. Toney gives us something extra in the...

Born in Stourbridge, mom's family from Wolverhampton and dad's family originally from Walsall. Not long after I was born my parents moved to Bridgnorth where I grew up. Moved to Liverpool for university and still live there. I'm light on the full details as he has passed away, but my grandad I...

Arguing yourself into a corner here defending results from the buildup to the Russia World Cup... They weren't good. We did pretty well at that World Cup, there is some justified criticism for how he managed the Croatia game but I am quite pleased with how we did, I thought Croatia were simply...
