    Last 16: England v Iceland 27th June, 8pm

    The quality of the performances doesn't make the squad any poorer. It is unquestionably better than at least 1 semi-finalist and 3 quarter finalists. The faults you are finding Miranda are the manager's.

    Last 16: England v Iceland 27th June, 8pm

    Isn't there something in the Times that says Hodgson was annoyed by that? I couldn't find my way behind the paywall so saw an article summary. Still unsure as to why Lallana wasn't taking them, he doesn't for Liverpool but having seen him on corner duty for England before I've wanted him ahead...

    Who'd have thought Roy Hodgson was a clueless chancer?

    Players who revived their careers?

    Ricardo Quaresma? Incredibly highly rated youngster but who failed at Barca, went to Porto & re-established himself, then again saw his career drop away with spells at Inter & Chelsea which led to Turkey & then the UAE and saw him out of contention for the international side, but who's now...

    Are you low on homegrown players for the CL at all? And league obvs, needed a deeper squad?

    Slovakia v England, 20th June, 8pm

    This. We haven't yet seen much, if anything, of what England are like without the ball, we've not seen any team have a great period of possession against England and see how well they can resist that, or an opposition probing us and trying to break our defence down. What we did see of that v...

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

    It wouldn't be a transfer window without our obligatory links to Tello. He's the new Arda Turan, who was the new Simao. Also, absolutely no chance we're even considering Cavani. It's possible to filter before posting every dodgy rumour y'know...

    Everton Appoint Ronald Koeman - 3 year deal

    Extremely mainstream and commands attention? ;) Even I wouldn't mark most blues down as being like Johnny! Must have taken a good while to create all those accounts

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic to sign for Man United!

    Been expecting this move for months, just made sense. As United don't have to be worried about the money, don't see how too much can go wrong. Ibra for a year, allowing a future for Rashford & a striker for Martial to learn off, and there's Rooney as a backup striker. I don't know how well...

    Jürgen Kop

    Clyne was our best defender over the entire season yep, but I guess it's because Lovren's upturn was more noticeable (he'd improved 2nd half of 14/15 but still was unreliable) and Clyne just was quietly good. Sakho had the best individual performances and Kolo showed he was reliable when called...

    Jürgen Kop

    For a start, that is an incredibly simplistic view of two differing systems of counterpressing and a possession oriented approach. Both employing a high press doesn't automatically make the style of football the same, anyone who's watched us over the past few years can see that! And by the end...

    They obviously do not employ the same style of football. Even if they did, if Rodgers knew those shortcomings and how to adress them, I doubt Jurgen would be in charge now...

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    The juxtaposition in those two posts.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Nope. He tried to literally walk through one of them, if that's what you mean.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Stones will be an excellent player, one poor season at 20/21 years old in a Martinez defence with Tim Howard behind him and the likes of Funes Mori next to him doesn't mean he's shite. Defenders as well aren't always as mature at 20/21 years old like. Staying for another year with a better...

    Doping scandal

    You do realise @IndigoLFC (the guy who tweeted this news for all those of you who I imagine try your hardest to avoid LFC twitter, like you should) is a 17 year old QPR fan who was trying to look like an ITK with an early prediction like that if it comes off? The hearing was only held...

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    Football fans are generally tribalist fickle hypocrites, let's be honest, and often don't like getting called out on it (and I fully include myself in that). It is amusing to look back on though. Kinda serious point there though about United sending stuff out to try to attract fans in, that...
