Re: Financiers, investors and white knights: What next for FV?

So who actually benefits by sacking the manager? "One nil" is the only thing that matters in football and ever will, whatever league we're in, and there isn't a manager on earth can predict or guarantee that. Blaming the manager won't change a thing unless we're getting demoted. Even then those at t...

Re: Tonight's Football

The Thee Lions beat Filand 2-0 (both Harry Kane crackers plus a terrific diving header disallowed for offside.). Jack Grealish M.O.T.M. for me, sharing it with Finland's Number 4, a real rock in defence. Massive possession b y England but goals are still all that really count. That said, a polished ...

Re: Tonight's Football

Wales scraped a 2-1 win over Montenegro after scoring two goals in the opening three minutes. They defended well and it was an entertaining game , sort of underwater rugby-cum-wrestling in a savage downpour, but Montenegro did most of the attacking second half. I think everybody was glad to see the ...

Re: Tonight's Football

England did what they had to do first half, professionally with a good defence and scored two decent goals. Jack Grealish was outstanding, as was Gallagher.. The game has changed so much that the Harry Kane striker role has had to change with it, and he's like a caged tiger, ever dangerous but well ...

Liam Delap of Ipswich. 21 and plays for the English you team. Looks to me like a promising type. No idea if he's available.
He's 100% not available.

They just spent £20m on him and he's starting every game.
Ah, well that's that one then. :) ae:) ae:)

Just watched young England v Northern Ireland (our Jack) in goal. 0-0 result. Bags of effort, but was always a draw.

Re: Northern Ireland v Luxembourg

Thanks D.J.B. Decent tidy 2-0 win for Norland against a good Luxembourg side. Apart from one "I'm a full back really" moment of madness by the Irish keeper, no bother. Again, Cheers. :oyea:

If Evatt wants to have a career as a manager he needs to learn to operate under pressure.of thing defines a manager.

Re: "Yes, we have no bananas!" Away to Barrow by the sea. Tues, Sept 3rd 7-45. -45

Putting pressure games in the negative was rather more a nod to the "Evatt out" position that we don't win games with pressure on them, rather than anything inherent about pressure games and their relative merits. So effectively (in that big picture syndrome thing") getting to the play-offs but sta...

M.O.T.M. DJ.Blu . Thanks as ever buddy.

The game, well, we won and a win's a win, so...I just wish we didn't start every game by giving the opposition a (soft) goal start. Beyond that, best forgot. Did somebody mention Arsenal?

Vic’s absence is quite suspicious.
I think that'll draw a few eyes, but Evatt has said he needs to rest his back injury.
Bit of an odd time when both central defenders are absentia? Does make one wonder.. :oyea: ae:) ae:)

Big Ric's charging out at past bloops and heading for a lungful of seaside ozone tonight . Let's hope he thinks "win em all" and forgets "not important". Every match is important other wise why not just stay home and play ping-pong? :Jedi:

Also not being a member of the "Twitterati" cult, good on Ric for honesty. I've felt for a while he looked jaded, but he seems to be addressing his problems and bouncing back. Good on him. Start tonight big fella... :oyea:
