The Road To Germany 2024

Just when you thought we might have an interesting qualifying group.

 

[Jack Regan]

Game over in very short order with those two strikes.

 

[Derby Wolf]

If Kane stuck to getting the ball in the midfield spreading the play and then getting on the end of it at the back post instead also refereeing the ref, deliberately attempting to injure opponents and been a generally whiny cunt I'd love watching him play. He was brilliant for that first goal but as it is he can still get fucked.

I don't want "interesting"!

Like I'd much rather Wolves be six points better off right now and have a 10 match drift to the end rather than what we have now. "Interesting" is only interesting in retrospect, it's shit in the here and now.

He's nothing like as bad for that as people make out. Presume you were ok with Shearer hoofing opponents in the head or Owen diving...

He's an incredible player.

 

[Tony Towner]

My point was more that as a 2nd seed we might get to see a group that isn't a cakewalk. That's now not going to happen, which as a viewing experience is dull. I appreciate that means losing a game here and there, which I don't want us to do, but until Southgate plays it too safe in the finals it'll be what it is

He's a cunt. Might be a very good player, but a cunt nonetheless

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Qualification groups are what they are.

The tournaments themselves are now too big for there to be any jeopardy unless you seriously fuck up. I neither expect nor want drama from them where England are concerned.

I do not pine for the Steve McClaren era.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Is he, really?

It's a properly weird agenda that Wolves fans have against him, I seriously don't get it.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yep, he's an absolute arsehole. The backing in to get snide fouls, the constant refereeing of games, the moaning and whinging.

I can appreciate his qualities as a goalscorer, particularly in an England shirt, he's an absolute prick as a Tottenham player though. Shearer was very similar at Newcastle

You presume wrong, I don't really care for England, I'll watch it if its on but my post earlier in this thread explains why I don't care for them.

My dislike of Kane is informed from watching him against us where he's dived, managed the referees and so on.

Given we played Shearer and Owen 4 times between them I have no strong feelings about either.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I never knew "backing into defenders" was up there with Kristallnacht, good job Andy Mutch isn't playing these days

 

[Tony Towner]

OK, if you are going with Nazi Germany I'll leave it

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well if people are going to be stupidly hysterical...

I've been to every single club game that Harry Kane has played at Molineux and personally never walked off seething at him specifically. Plenty of other players - England ones included - where I have.

Kane's backing in a bit different. That horrible one where he knows the defender is going to jump is an attempt to injure the opposition.

It's the control of the ref I hate though. Don't really see it until you see him live. Up there with Barton/Nolan Newcastle era.

So will call him a twat...but equally would love us to sign him. Unless we get some Saudi/Qatari money he will just stay in the twat zone when playing against us

 

[White Wolf]

Appreciate that I am in the minority on here and do enjoy (just about) watching England but I have never gotten the hate for Kane. Great player and he clearly cares a lot about playing internationally which you can't say for many of our past players. You'd never hear Egyptian fans bang on about Salah in that fashion for instance.

Have to agree with this the Kane hating from some seems a bit childish. Not sure what he does that’s worse than others. Not particularly dirty, not a media gob shite probably the opposite. Doesn’t rile up opposing crowds or opposition. Yes he gets in the refs ear as does about every captain in the PL.

You're ok with Neves continually banging on at the ref though?

 

[jd1981]

Usually the main man up top for England suffers with a lot of anger for no apparent reason Rooney, Shearer also put up with a lot of flack in their time.

 

[Kenny]

Not really as it makes him a card machine.
For me Kane has been a few levels above what Neves does when against us.

Can not like his actions and still admire the players ability. Certainly not a Barton type in that respect
