RIP Svennis
it could have been so much more. Yes, I'll say it's sad news of passing of former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and man who started with a bang and ended with a whimper. read the rest of this rubbish

Southgate pressed repeat and his England repeated
all of Southgate’s failures. Yup, in every tournament as soon as Southgate meets a decent side, he loses, and so it was as England faced Spain in the Euro final, and lost, due to all of Southgate’s failings we’ve seen repeated over and over again. A half decent manager would have led England into the […] read the rest of this rubbish
Thank you Turkey and Georgia for providing an antidote to
the sterile dull football on show. Georgia’s first excursion into finals football saw them unluckily beaten 3-1 by Turkey in by far the best and most entertaining match of Euro 2024 so far and probably a time to come. OK I have to admit, sitting down to watch Turkey versus Georgia looked like a chore, […] read the rest of this rubbish
England’s dead cat bounce lasted a few minutes

what will he do now. Two players that played a major part in England winning their final group game of Euro 2020, so topping the group, wouldn't have played if Southgate hadn't been forced into it. read the rest of this rubbish
Pundits bemused by dull England being as dull as
the dullard Southgate. England's bore-feast in the Battle of Britain as they struggled to get a draw with the goalless Jocks saw the media in a state of befuddlement, so much that you wonder if they actually watch the games. read the rest of this rubbish
Pochettino was right, people underestimate Spurs
I picked a 3-1 scoreline. The Harry Kane team will take a commanding three nil lead to Germany in three weeks time, after beating the German league leaders Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. read the rest of this rubbish
Of all the players to lose, we had to lose him
R.I.P. Gordon Banks. Sad news that England's World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks has died, aged 81. read the rest of this rubbish
