BFTD Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 That tattoo looks like the profile of a goosestepping American traffic cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Some overreaction to the tattoo but it's funny to see the breakdown happen 2 weeks before they've even started playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 It’s his leg and he can get what he likes tattooed onto it, doesn’t matter who or why others don’t like it.I don’t buy the memorial for his dad shite though, trying to get his excuses in but I doubt you get a tattoo of a weapon that killed your dad as some kind of memory to him.

The OP Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Just realised the Arsenal badge promotes cannon crime. Scum. Subhuman scum. Unless the founder of Arsenal’s dad was killed by a cannonball then it’s sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44287231 Quote England players have discussed what to do if subjected to racism during the World Cup in Russia this summer, says Manchester United's Ashley Young. I assume he's talking about Jamie Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I would imagine there's not a lot the players can do, other than ignore a bunch of idiots trying to wind them up and affect their performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Fair play to Tyldesley, it took him a good 30s before he mentioned England in the same sentence as the final there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It’s a bad stereotype but Nigeria and African sides in general are very physical . They always look like a straight red is just round the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Sterling's yellow card for his quite ludicrous dive the Nigeria game was quite special, he actually looked like he was going to cry!!![emoji23] Good to see that even the foreign refs who aren't used to him, appear to think that he's cheating little shitehawk as well and no benefit of the doubt is being given - good to know, good to see!!!

pleslie99 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Take Kane, sterling and Alli out the England side and they are any average. Dier is a very poor midfielder, it's as if he wasn't quite good enough for CB so pushed him into Cm where he thinks he's a world beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem obsessed with this idea that him as a DM, and dropping into defence when the full backs push up, is some revolutionary tactical step. To the point where they seem to refuse to play a match without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have this notion that they are an outstanding footballing side who pass like Barca and walk the ball into the net. When Nigeria matched up against them in the 2nd half yesterday they were pish. They will no doubt get out their group at the WC however against a decent side they will crumble, dier and Henderson can't create anything and don't really do much else, I wouldn't even class them as good at breaking up the play. Kyle walker will get exposed at CB by anyone with a half decent striker with good movement as his positioning is terrible.If Kane doesn't score they are in all sorts of trouble.

MONKMAN Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Since they won it in 1966, England have won 5 knockout games at the World Cup. That’s five knockout games in 50 odd years. The games they’ve won;86 Paraguay90 Belgium90 Cameroon02 Denmark 06 Ecuador Now that’s with considerably better players than what they have now, which is easily the worst squad in my lifetime. They’ll do absolutely nothing this tournament either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does read like a mental statistic, but I wonder how it stacks up to the other 'A' list nations (don't laugh; I hear they actually won it once, but you don't hear much about it).

That would have been like saying 'take Platini, Giresse and Tigana out the French midfield in '82 and they would be average'. 'Take Salah, Firmino and Mane out the Liverpool team and their strike force would be average' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After beating Brazil in 1990, Argentina didn't win a knockout game in 90 minutes until they beat Mexico in the last 16 in 2010. They did win several on penalties and one in extra-time, but it's still a mental statistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullard Bluteau Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Is Sterling the one who has a Griffiths-esque tribe of offspring ? Seems a decent player but prone to play acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
