Fear Of The Fox

Expect to see the same issues as vs Greece.

So you prefer England playing an international friendly vs France or Spain and the manager calling up for duty 3 of our players which he won't even consider for the big tournaments. And then have 2 of them injured. I can't quite understand your logic.

It might be a waste of time for the big 5-6 nations but certainly isn't for teams like Greece. If Greece finish 1st in the group they have an extra chance/window to qualify for the WC2026. Nations League is way better than having pointless friendlies. Do you remember what was happening before with international friendlies? All big nations were arranging friendlies against each other, fans from Greece or elsewhere rarely had the chance to see even in friendlies star players like Bellingham, Ronaldo etc. Today Greece has a sold out vs Ireland. My point is we're as fans of Leicester bashing the elite European teams, the "Big 6" and their antics in PL, but when it comes to the national team we have the same arrogance we condemn. I've seen so many saying the game vs Greece was a glorified friendly. No it wasn't. It was a serious international game in which the national team was ridiculed worldwide.

Just give us interviews for red carded players and play the interviews through the stadium speakers.

Carsley really said: "3 more games and hopefully I'm going back to the U-21s"? Hahaha. This is getting better and better. It's pure comedy central material. Everybody in FA should resign in the morning.

He's BR 2.0. He doesn't have a notepad, he has a tablet.

This England team in the future will be inevitably get humiliated by a scoreline of 9 or 10-0. Carsley isn't a football manager. It's like putting me in charge of a NASA space program. Pickford isn't a GK. That guy can barely walk straight, when the ball is on his feet he shakes and spins like a CAT 5 hurricane. The whole team is a disjointed mess of primadonnas. The only player trying with some passion is Bellingham and this is because he plays in a league where if you don't make an effort you get a visit by the team fans.

Me. Check my post 1 and a half month ago regarding the Greek team.

Shame?

What are you talking about? Greece is playing from the back and direct because they spotted England's lines are all over the place.

Nice catch there. Once you see it you can't unsee it. They do it all the time when collecting back the darts. It's like a ritual. I really like the doubles to start as a format. Why don't they use it in more tournaments? It leads to more interesting matches, more frustration and surprisingly intense legs.

Are you a time traveler? Which game are you watching? Ours vs Southampton?

Hurzeler, McKenna and Guardiola for me from the current PL managers. The rest are all boring characters except maybe Frank and Emery.

Tbh I haven't watched much of the preseason. Too busy playing NBA 2k25 late in the night.

Managers like him, BR, ETH etc are arrogant and dismissive because they lack communication and managerial skills. They simply don't have anything valuable and meaningful to say re tactics and football. On the other hand there are managers like Hurzeler and Still always happy to further analyse tactically their games whether they win or lose.

What basketball? NBA starts on 22nd.

Unfortunately there's no way to compare and I can have an opinion as he's exposed rightfully to public criticism.

Because he's a rubbish, arrogant manager.

I don't like Enzo, I hate Forest. Draw is fine.

It keeps ETH at the job. Can't wait for the back to back clash of the titans. ETH vs Cooper. Lord give me strength.

Joke of a sport. 130 years the king of sports and they managed to ruin everything in a few years.

How a series of games against Southampton, Forest and Ipswich has an unrealistic expectation of 9pts? As I said, win all of them and we're staying up.

As long as we're picking up points I don't care. We have 3 winnable games next. 9 points and even without a proper manager we're suddenly in top 10 form and it will take a big shift of events to get relegated from that point.

So 4-1 Villa and 0-0 Brighton vs Spurs. Noted.

I agree. Can you then guarantee the exact same won't be given against us this season? Because it will happen and it will be a penalty.
