Not sure that's fair. He's joined the squad and presumably been assessed by our doctors before he went home, so it seems likely that they agree...
I agree, but a bit of foresight and common sense could have avoided this minor shitstorm. I don't personally care what anyone does to the flag...
He has, but there was a bit more of a debate at that time about who the best performing players were. Right now, it seems fairly obvious that...
"A Nike spokesperson said: 'The England 2024 Home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic.'" Distrupts history, does the new England...
I know some people here don't think Saka and Foden would balance each other too well, but has Southgate said anything to suggest that he feels...
I think any comparison between a tournament squad and a group six months into a cycle is a bit meaningless, as some of the best players in the...
You seemed to be putting them forwarded as one of the unfairly attacked groups, but maybe I misunderstood. They do appear unambiguously racist to...
I think it's arguing rather than feuding - I have nothing against Jenks - but in any case I doubt that any of us has a huge amount more to add....
Ok, reduced immigration is one thing - you can argue for or against but I don't think it's automatically racist to want it. Even setting aside the...
Fine, but that doesn't answer the question - it's an abstract goal rather than a plan of action. I realise that I may be asking you to explain...
That is a bit curious. It seems odd to do something that they must have known would provoke a reaction and then get all coy about telling us why...
Missed the edit window but I think I'm misusing the word "irredentist" here. I mean reactionary.
I'd assume that they have approval rights over any kit that Nike make for them. Don't really understand the reasons for the flag "update", but...
This irredentist stuff is just so bafflingly tedious though. I totally get and even share the fascination with our cultural and genetic history,...
If the article is accurate then it sounds like a bit of a cheap shot from Holland that White took much more personally than most players would....
I don't really see how any of that reflects badly on Southgate.
5 groups of 5 teams, all of them Qatar. One group of 47 teams, all playing Qatar five times each. Final regardless of results to be contested by...
Could you please begin all your comments this way so I don't read them by accident?
Technically true. You were telling him what not to say.
Why though? Keeping it in reserve in case an opportunity to throw shade at the FA came up?
Come on, you know that's ridiculous. A contract doesn't get negotiated in a few hours.
That doesn't have to be a top-level player, in fairness. Lots of former youth internationals have ended up way down the leagues or even out of the...
Quite possibly - I don't know his exact circumstances, nor what the Spanish legal definition of "acquisition" would be in that context. Either...
I mean, journos get secondary details wrong all the time - we've seen a few English writers tie themselves in knots trying to sound knowledgeable...
Not nearly enough, but we can look forward to tearful confessions in 2035 about crippling addiction to balloons and Tide Pods.
