    Also noticed today that it's two wins out of two for the sides whose fans were allocated the west end of Wembley <whistle>

    England Euro 2024 squad being announced today. Wonder how many RBs he'll select this time. Some big calls to be made too. Wonder if he'll continue to pick his favourites who have been long term either out of form, not playing or both.

    Hope he goes risky.

    Would love to see the likes of Gibbs-White being picked over the likes of Henderson and Phillips

    Henderson is 1000% there.

    I don’t think Phillips will be though, that would be genuinely crazy.

    When he was playing, I didn't like him. Maybe because he was so good and always scored against us! The minute he retired I started loving him; his enthusiasm, passion and energy is incredible.

    And they are both southern teams that beat northern ones.

    Let's get behind the team and make sure we're not the living embodiment of Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell - "Two out of three ain't bad"

    I believe Man Utd are slightly south of Man City? Man Utd have the West side in the FA Cup the day before us.

    Clearly City should have stayed at Maine Road, which is slightly south of Old Trafford.

    Couldn't we have another full back, Rico Lewis maybe? So many center backs and we know its gonna be Maguire and Stones playing every game.

    Wrighty gradually improved until he was one of the more watchable pundits IMO. Initially he didn't offer much but was probably still finding his way. In the end he gave decent insight with a bit of personality which the others sadly lack. On one hand you have the snoozefest of Lineker, Shearer and Murphy, on the other there is Micah Richards. Ian Wright is in between and it's a shame he's going because MOTD is quite a boring programme which takes some doing considering football is the most popularly viewed sport in the country.

    What happened to all the central midfield options? And left backs ?
