    Did you enjoy his attempted rabona?

    His successful rabona, I think you mean. Where the ball goes, who cares?

    I think this sums up Gallagher….

    (He’s actually better since he went abroad)

    As an aside. Why are Ireland allowed to play in goalkeepers kit?

    Let's see what Tuchel makes of Kane shall we. Oh we know already.

    Seems like Carsley has flourished with the pressure off.

    He also finished 10th in Ballon d'or and won the Gertrude Muller award so best sack the twats who decide that too.

    You are correct. I forgot to say 'won nothing' before 'get him sacked'.

    Trade magazine awards are nothing to do with football.

    Plus of course there is now the Kane conundrum, which really shouldn’t be a conundrum for anyone with a set of eyes.

    Which is all very well, but where were this blokes eyes when we really needed them? Before the calamity in the summer.

    I don't need some idiot to tell me what I just saw. I need someone to see it coming, and stop it happening.

    Wood hattrick and Stamenic also got one as NZ beat Samoa 8-0.

    Fair to say that Samoa's top athletes must play rugby or something.

    Yeah. I do think tricky was premature. I think he's right now though.

    Let's imagine that you are correct. What would we have lost by reacting when I first suggested that we do?

    I'm not very annoying when I'm wrong, I'm at peak annoying when I'm right.

    I think we'd have played Toney, and it would have been a mistake because he's a shithead. Now is the right time to cut ties.

    It's the numerous opportunities we've had to try something different, but the complete refusal to do so that I find so frustrating (I'm thinking San Marino away for example, where Kane reportedly asked to play - what did that serve apart from allowing Kane to boost his personal stats).
    The Nations League means there are far fewer friendlies now, so it's games like that where you need to try something different, so you don't arrive at major tournaments with no plan B (and relying on set-pieces should never have been plan A, as it was under Southgate, given the wealth of attacking talent available to him)

    I'm not sure guardian columnists have the say over England squads that you seem to think they do.
