He's talking about the Norway game — unless Argentina is now partially in the Arctic Circle

Wasn't lost on me! Lol

R2-D2 ass chairman

Unnecessary signing but he won't be number 1

Great move for him

They're towing the line that it's inspired by our FA Cup win when the colour schemes are clearly inspired more by this masterpiece

As with (nigh on) every signing we've made of this ilk in the post-Pearson era, it really does depend on terms and for that reason it's hard to be completely on board. Underlying feeling is that he's more than good at this level but I really don't want him to block the development of some of the younger lads.

100%. They've obviously got so many bloody phenomenal footballers who have been brilliant and the best player shouldn't just be measured on goals, but Mbappe has always seemingly been the one to really be the difference in their trickier games, he's broken the deadlock in every one of their knockout ties. If you're standing out in that front four who've all been ****ing class then you're the best player in the tournament imqho

The white cuffs make the gold stripes look even more incongruous. It's a bit disappointing after all the hype, however it doesn't look like an actual human sick so it's better than a lot of recent efforts – but white stripes and a pattern that isn't so busy would knock it into 10/10 territory.

Villa will be a top 6 fixture for some time I think, providing they keep Emery. Seem to have a very settled squad enjoying themselves and just keep adding quality.

Mbappe has been class n all

And drop Gordon?!

Page 81 of this thread is when we announced his new 3 year deal. There categorically is not "a lot of chuffed people" reacting to this news.

I was simply in Leicester for a meal

It's not for me but I don't really mind them doing something for the reveal, be fun for kids etc

Looking back there were some ****ing ridiculous players in the Championship in 23/24

What's the relevance of the pattern?

You're never gonna win with that sponsor

The explanation is probably just whoever hired him thinks he's good tbh, you wouldn't actively hire a commentator you know is shit to generate interest in your broadcast

Forgive me, given this is an England thread, the opening remarks in your post referenced England, and given they were international tournament years I jumped to the outrageous conclusion you were talking about England.

This may well have happened but this image and caption is completely AI. The numbering on the kits isn't the correct font and in Haaland's case is a different number entirely (5) rather than the one he wears (9).

What is the correlation between 2016 and 2021 here? One was the most embarrassing exit in the country's history and we were narrowly beaten finalists in the other?

He's looked 45 for about 15 years I swear

Clicks where though? How do "clicks" benefit him or itv? He isn't a news outlet, he doesn't really on clicks or gossip for income. If the general consensus is that he's shite it isn't good for itv, it's just a load of people saying he's shite.
