England v Croatia World Cupsemi final

It wouldn't have hurt. If you don't score you don't win but you have to score one more than the opposition.

 

Einstein? Hardly...

 

Hindsight is a wonderful, but I do think that a fit Lallana would have been a good addition to the squad in place of Delph and given us a player that does possess a better passing threat than those picked. I also agree that a plan B big man would also have been better than the more of the same options we took, but sadly none of Crouch, Deeney or even Carrol did enough to justify selection, in all honesty chucking Maguire up front once they went ahead might have been a better option

 

Surely at least one of them did more than Welbeck did?

Goons are having a mild identity crisis right now, though: some want to say Wheelchair would've offered something, while others are accepting that he's dropping down to midtable for a reason...

 

The FA have been fined SF 70,000 because three players wore unauthorised ankle supports. Compares so favourably with the SF 30,000 that theRussian FA was fined for racist abuse at their match with France before the competition. So much for ‘ say no to racism’

 

What about modern football surprises you that corporate sponsors are valued more highly than anything else on the pitch or in the stadium?

When someone receives the 'keys to the City' what does this mean?

I always thought it meant he can walk into any shop and take what he wants...that should be the definition of 'keys to the city', I think.

 

In London it means you can drive your flock of sheep over London Bridge. That'll be handy for the lad.

 

"Leave me alone man I've got the freedom of the city" will work with no copper ever.

 

It means he'll be allowed to eat the local swans.

 

Oh look, turns out that a bunch of spiteful Goons don't know a bloody thing...

 

And you're surprised why, exactly?

 

So, it was an incredible save and offside, with no guarantee that VAR would have reversed it.........Fat Sam blames HK, though

What a twat that bloke is.....and you just know that he'd have played Rooney.

 

...while pocketing the players' bonuses for himself.

 

I particularly liked this response...

'Yeah, blame the probable golden boot winner. He probably looked up, noticed only Sterling in the box and realised he had a better chance to score than the guy who runs like doctor evil'

 

Free Bury black pudding for life.

It is a super food.

No kidding. It's very good for you.

 

In Liverpool, yes that's right. Lots of 'new with tags stuff' for sale on ebay by vendors in the Liverpool area. They must all have those keys.

Also, they've got those keys in the Terry residence near Cobham.

 

Nah our Freemen are decent peeps Brian old chap, they never rioted, stole or looted or burnt a single building.
