i think england have a decnet team that i will enjoy watching , i think we win our group, i think the top teams are another level to us though and when we face 1 of them we will be out, fair enough - by .TC. - 05/16/2016 12:17PM
its a good side. dreadful manager though and will underachieve - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:19PM
He's an owl of course and I wouldn't want him at spurs but I don't see that hodgson has done a bad job with england really. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:25PM
Hold on a ****ing second. In his second season Poch comes 3rd and CL football. In his second tournament Roy finished last and was beyond embarrassing. ****s sake. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:27PM
Haha - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
**** me, he'd only been England manager a month before the Euros! (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
I wasn't judging him on his first tournament, that would be unfair. Same with Poch and his first season really. It was someone else's squad. Roy had a diabolically bad world cup though. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:32PM
I like what he's done with the squad and how we play to be honest. I'm confident we'll do well in a tournament for the first time since Hoddle. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 12:34PM
Yes I agree with you actually. I just dont like Bal's double standards up there. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:36PM
haha. they are both ok managers who have done ok jobs. pooch isn't great, at all, and hodgson isn't terrible, at all. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:37PM
Poch helped hodgson by giving him fine well tuned hungry athletes, hodgson returned them overplayed and broken - by viveledaniel - 05/16/2016 12:40PM
a couple of games broke them? - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:45PM
the 10 minutes in the second game broke them after they had posted stats of the greatest running distances ever by england players just a few days earlier, they were also already playing through injuries - by viveledaniel - 05/16/2016 12:55PM
Look at england qualifying for this tournament. what more do you want from him? - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:29PM
I think 'par' for England is probably semi's of the Euro's and quarters of the worlds. Depending on the draw. Although simb tells me that I'm wrong. Unless you win the trophy then anything else is abject failure. nt - by NTY leans in - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
Sorry, Can i just pick you up on one point there mate, 'worlds'? That's in the main, athletics talk and also very annoying. Please cease ;o) - by MidlandYid - 05/16/2016 12:43PM
par for england is getting out of the group. we are light years from germany, france, italy, holland, spain, portugal and so on and that's just europe. i wouldnt want him at spurs but this qualifying period has has played ten, won ten, scored 31, conceded 3. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:33PM
Qualifying should be a given. I accept we're behind Germany and Spain, but not those other nations at all. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:34PM
well results and comparable performances in tournaments says different. - by Balham noting that del bosque is terrible too based on spain being **** at that world cup also - 05/16/2016 12:34PM
We're talking England now. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 12:20PM
haha - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:21PM
I didnt see any of the game yestday yet, who let us down? why was rose on the bench? what else? - by Mil - 05/16/2016 12:14PM
toby had a ****ing stinker. whatever the ****ing formation change was after walker went off cattled us, they were walking through us time after time. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:15PM
Why did that happen? the formation change? - by Mil - 05/16/2016 12:16PM
walker was injured and he got subbed off for chadli and went 3 at the back. i'd like to say he went 352 or something but i haven't got a ****ing clue what was going on up there. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:18PM
There's no more block feature on here then? nt - by NTY can see some old friends on this day of days - 05/16/2016 12:12PM
i suspect the boss has disabled it based on what people have been saying - by Balham amused - 05/16/2016 12:13PM
I've listened to the new Stone Roses song a few times now. The musics got a lot better, the lyrics are still a joke. I think they are taking the piss. - by Mil - 05/16/2016 12:10PM
they wont make much money from it . - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:12PM
They will from the big shows - although they'd probably sell out anyway - by gdp - 05/16/2016 12:15PM
talking about the song - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:17PM
I know - I gathered - by gdp - 05/16/2016 12:22PM
then why are blabbing about concerts! - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:25PM
Because they're playing a load of huge concerts that still have some tickets on sale and having a new single will help push these and that's where they'll make the money - by gdp - 05/16/2016 12:28PM
ok - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
Agreed, I like the riff. - by JR - 05/16/2016 12:12PM
That England defence looks bloody terrible. - by RJM - 05/16/2016 12:04PM
Gareth Bale says hello - by c-spur - 05/16/2016 12:05PM
if davies is a starter for you then you should be worried. beyond woeful. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:07PM
he is better for Wales where he doesn't have to cover the whole left side or do much attacking - by c-spur thinks he is a reasonable backup for Rose, certainly better than 99% of the other backup players in our squad - 05/16/2016 12:13PM
My worst Spurs Dad story is letting my boys stay up late to watch the second half of that FA Cup replay against City when we were 3-0 up and they had had a man sent off. What could possibly go wrong, I thought, as I benignly watched their happy, excited faces. 45 minutes later they were traumitised wrecks. Welcome to Spurs, my boys, I said: this is what it's like. - by MFV - 05/16/2016 11:59AM

my daughter loves football. I am going to drum it out of her - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:01PM
Same here. She still watches the Chelsea game. I cant ghet her to stop. - by Mil - 05/16/2016 12:07PM
