Bit unfair to make us play two games at once. I bet this was Steve Gibson's idea

That looks like one of those 19th century formations with defunct positions like ‘half back’

Bloomer would fit well into that team 

Boro and Wycombe obviously 

Spurs annoy me - I’m not sure why they’re considered as one of the ‘elite’ teams in the country when we’ve won the league more recently than them 

QP Rangers too because that play off final let them get away with financial stuff we were hammered for 

Manipulating their balance sheet with funny player values, where have we seen that before.

They don’t happen to have beaten Middlesbrough to any transfers in the the last few years?

Is the quote about donating to Middlesbrough a joke? Wtf is is to do with them?  Oh I think it is a joke, that isn't the actual statement is it? . 

I might have embellished the actual quote slightly 

Given a suspended 5 point deduction

Quote

Coventry City has received a five-point deduction to be suspended for the remainder of the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 season, after the Club acknowledged that it had breached EFL Regulations relating to pitch maintenance, which led to the postponement of August’s scheduled fixtures against Rotherham United, Wigan Athletic and Huddersfield Town.

Coventry City will also pay compensation to the away Clubs along with associated costs of the EFL investigation.

Coventry City have also agreed to make a substantial donation to Middlesbrough Football Club. 

The sanction was imposed in accordance with the terms of an ‘Agreed Decision’ which has formally been ratified by an Independent Disciplinary Commission Chair as per the requirements of EFL Regulations.

Does it matter what Birmingham want? If there’s a recall clause in the contract why do we need their consent to use it?

not to get all Steve Gibson on them but wouldn’t we just be following what was agreed?

L'equipe have just named him in the worst team of the WC

Apparently he has won 4 games in 24 matches against the top 10 teams in the world.

If this stat is true then it’s a bad decision to retain him as manager.

 

 

That stat is slightly misleading as it includes friendlies and doesn’t include Croatia and Germany. I know Germany aren’t great these days but beating them in the euros was still a monkey off England’s back

Though it is a team game, 90% of cricket is a bowler v batter 1v1

think Stuart Broad called it ‘a team game played by individuals’ which is probably about right  

Only Steve Gibson knows for sure what restrictions we’re under 

Wayne might have been a contender but he's stinking up the MLS at the moment.

Also his style of football was slower than Southgate's so maybe not ?

Any chance of Steve Gibson taking legal action against the nation of France?

We need Ben Stokes to take penalties 

Tbf haven’t we had like one ever competitive win over Burton?

I assume all the good ones are in Qatar.  The commentator seemed a lot more balanced than she was.

I think ITV just wanted a cup upset

her man of the match choice was odd though 

Fair play to Warne for changing the system at half time and making some subs to change it.

Gareth Southgate take note please 

Forsyth channeling Maguire there by running up field with the ball and then clumsily giving away a foul

Mexicans regularly create among the best atmospheres at a World Cup.

They are the sort of side who would never win it, but they have it in them to beat anybody in the world.

 

they’re co-hosting the next one. Would hate to have to play them in Mexico City in July!

Starting for Poland today 

Southgate is infuriating.

would I swap Paul Warne for him? Absolutely not. And England is supposed to be the top job in English football!
