Sweep

It's amazing to think that an Italian team hadn't won a European trophy in over a decade, but I think it just shows how utterly shit the Italian league is these days

agreed, which is why I think he goes 3-4-2-1 initially (which can drop to a 5-4-1 with wingbacks) If I was to guess the starting line up for our opening game of the WC, I'd be going Pickford Walker Maguire Stones TTA Phillips Rice Saka Foden Sterling Kane

Temps will be the same for everybody - and the grounds, as they're airconditioned, will keep the temperature fairly stable apparently (I'd hate to be paying those leccy bills)

Southgate has a decent record as our manager, the results show that, unless you can find another manager we've had of late who has done better - I don't think we've done anything "despite" him at all. He is quite defensive, but sadly, that's tournament football for you in general. We'll be there or there abouts this Winter, I don't think we win it though, as we don't have good enough players, especially at CB where we're sadly lacking

yes, it was paid directly into my bank account yesterday, which was a nice little bonus, we're possibly getting another £1K towards it at the end of October apparently, but I'll not hold my breath on that one just yet

@gonzolike this

Agreed. The Government should keep the money, and use it to reduce the high Council Tax bills we have here in the South East for a year or two 😏

I agree he's not getting it back, which is why he might not agree to a sale. There will be some work around though, no way will Chelsea FC be allowed to go to the wall over this

like @Rudy?

Also has the potential for a fucking good 4:0 or 5:0 stuffing, sadly 😲

who the fuckery is Marc Guehi? edit: just googled, apparently Palace bought him from Chelsea for £18M last year.....I've still never heard of him

@Trafknows me very well, I'm not sure he'd ever refer to me as a "nice enough chap"

Remember when Brazil and RIIAC used to present on the same morning show, that was when I finally switched off

I don't listen to Talksport purely because of Alan Brazil

This can't be true, surely.....
