The replacement manager thing for the puppet. Thought long and hard about this. RW's shout for Jose not a bad one.

We need to get into being a belligerent set of nasty fuckers though. Fuck off all of this Queensbury rules "it's just not cricket" bollocks. Nice guys win fuck all.

We have some extraordinary talents in Bellingham, Saka, Kane etc. These need to be blended with the new Steve McMahon, the new Vinny Jones and the new Stuart Pearce.

With all of this in mind, it is clear to me that our number one target to replace the yes man should be Diego Simeone.

Wouldn’t be a bad shout but can you see the FA going for an Argie? 🤣

All these flag shaggers wanting a foreigner in charge. Mind boggling.

They'd be a red card waiting to happen with the current rules/refs

Maybe be could have Southgate to manage us all way through qualifying and through the groups then let Jose or Pep manage for the crunch games?

Nice little earner for whoever does it:

That's the funniest post this year. I think it's the 'thought long and hard about this' followed by the utter drivel that makes it so priceless.

Not sure I'd want Pep for the knockout games anyway.  His record in the CL in the past few seasons has him down as a bottler.

It is funny though how before the WC people were saying with GS in charge we would struggle to get out of the group.

When we got knocked in quarters we only beat teams we were expected to.

'Twas all over Twitter and a few on Facebook. You know as well as I do there are plenty who will give GS no credit for anything. 
 

And Mounts on here it seems although had not seen that.

I hate getting on players backs and joining the mongathon on the socials but seriously we cant be starting a world cup with Harry Maguire at the back can we?

Hes been absolutely fantastic for England by the way, but this time the lads barely kicked a ball and looks a disaster waiting to happen when he does

The likes of maguire, Phillips, rashford shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad but allowing 26 places you know they will

No wonder hes picked so many defensive mids, that defensive selection is woeful, wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle even in the group games. 

 

On 10/11/2022 at 14:19, Mounts Kipper said:

Maguire, Dier,Rashford and Henderson wouldn't be in my squad. Think I would take 22.

Anyways

 

Englands player of the World Cup - Harry Maguire

Player of the World Cup - Messi 

Top scorer Lewendoski and Mbappe

 

 

just gone back until the tournament started

only mounts thought we may struggle to get out of the group

plenty we're worried about our defence, mainly maguire who ended up having a really good tournament

rashford & henderson selections also queationed, both again had great tournaments

Royals predictions looking really good tbf to him, bellingham our best player, but maguire not far beheind, over to messi and mbappe

also loads of handbags between royal & cheese about anything and everything, nowt new there

bolty had us consistently out at the 1/4 and fancied the argies or brazil, hope he's had a few quid on

i personally mentioned the germans as potential winners and us, both also turned to shit

Add to that my 4-0 prediction last night…. Some might call me a visionary

Numbers for the euro millions on Friday please.

France or Argentina, what a fuckin choice.

Yes L/H White, the money is (was) on the three of them. Argentina and Brazil to make profit, France to break even (the silly TAB here in WA gave me $12.63 for France to win it! Everyone else had them around the 7.00 to 8.00 mark!).

Obviously need the Argies to win it to make money but would be happy with the two in the final with a win or break even scenario.

I'll be doing Brazil and Argentina again in 2026 - just a question of who the other will be.

It is never difficult to predict that England will go out at a WC quarter final.

I never said they’d struggle to get out of the group, struggle in group games, we struggled against USA, wales and Iran were terrible so even we couldn’t struggle against them. Didn’t you say it was coming home? 🤣
