Breightmet Boy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Wouldn't be too bad if I could get any apps to work what's needed to get about, I'm constantly getting warnings of scammers trying to get into my ipad and sites asking for codes, but they don't tell you where the codes are. It's a minefield, Trafs been a great help, but I'd love to know how a 70yr old would be able to navigate through all this stuff? My mate uses his phone to ring folk, text and WhatsApp, utter ball ache. I'm trying my best to get through it, sick of pestering others to help who's been.

If you do, and there's any available I'll have one and will donate any winnings to Papyrus. I think FIFA, the FA and the rest have sold out, and I don't intend watching it. World Cup in November? Alienating a fair percentage of fans and having a worse human rights record than Neil Hart CEO? And if any from FIFA wants to come to ours and discuss it he will get a kick up the arse.

Our nation deals with Saudi, China and other folk with equally bad human rights issues. Our tourists flock to Dubai every single day. We buy petrol by the gallon load. The World Cup shouldn't be there, its wrong, but theres plenty of other stuff thats wrong too. Newcastle, City, PSG etc being used to sportswash is as equally bad. Its their country they can do what they want. But they should fuck off trying to dip their fingers into the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re clearly a backwards country with terrible human rights, but the ability of the media and the public to cherry pick which shit country to be appalled by and when does make me laugh. It’s like the yanks going nuts about LIV golf (which granted does seem a bit shit) because it’s funded by Saudi money - whilst conveniently ignoring that the Saudis are one of America’s biggest customers.

Wanderlust Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Dreading seeing the England squad. The one in-form CB - and bear in mind Southgate said he would pick people on form - is Tarkowski and he's ain't going. I bet he sticks with Flathead.

The one in-form CB - and bear in mind Southgate said he would pick people on form - is Tarkowski and he's ain't going. I bet he sticks with Flathead. Is Tarkowski in form I've not seen much of him? He has the best average rating over the last 12 months of all our CB options according to sofascore but not sure how reliable that is. It's actually a really difficult selection for GS this tournament because he probably wants to pick centrebacks that have the most experience playing together so they have some cohesion, which is probably, Walker, Maguire, Stones. But Walker's injured, Maguire has been out of form for a while and Stones also injured. But both City players will probably be fit in time for Qatar. And Maguire has always done well for England to be honest. I've seen lots of calls for Tomori to get picked, not seen any calling for Tarkowski till now. Ben White also been doing well at right back for Arsenal but could he slot into a new-look back 3 with the other non-injured/in form players? Doubt GS would go for White, Dier, Tomori/Tarkowski in a back 3 who have never played together, when he could stick to what he knows in a big tournament. He might change one of his usual selection at most. So Walker, Dier, Stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
