Re: Lets Talk Football

If he'd been called Allardici, he'd probably .... nope, he'd still have been canned.

Job swap with Pardew? Bruce is available?

For all the people saying that it didn't matter that Allardyce had won nothing as a manager, or even managed a big club (sorry Geordies, Newcastle doesn't count), I think this is a big pointer that...

Re: Lets Talk Football

Geez, Dalian Atkinson has died after being Tasered.

I remember him being a really talented but really erratic striker for the Villa.

Re: Lets Talk Football

I think Williams has been the best British centre half for a few years now, even better than Big Gareth McAuley. ;)

Re: Lets Talk Football

Great bit of business by Everton in signing Ashley Williams. He might be a decade older but, right here right now, he's a far better player than Stones.

Not great on crosses, though.

I'll see myself out. :blush:

I think he made Romario look an even better player when they were in the same side.

Think Peter Beardsley with a vicious streak. ;)

Best player I've ever seen? Maradona

Favourite player? Hristo Stoichkov

Biggest backside? Colin Clarke

Man, I loved Stoichkov. Feet of an angel, looks of a Mafia hitman.

I've always found the Euros have a lot more sterile football than World Cups but the format for this year's meant that it suited the weaker teams to play for draws (hey, it suited us ;)) because so...

Re: Lets Talk Football

By all accounts, Will Grigg is still on fire.

The manager never put him out, y'see? Never. Put. Him. Out. :p

Imagine if England had made the semis. Imagine if they had a centre half as assured as Ashley Williams, he of the lovely Black Country accent. Imagine if they had a midfielder as dynamic as Ramsey.

He's such a likeable young man, is Ronaldo. ;)

Wales are badly missing Ramsey, and they may as well be missing Bale as well.

I dunno how attractive the job would be to him at this stage in his career. I've heard rumours today that the FA want to give it to Southgate on an interim basis then approach Wenger when his Arsenal...

I think Bilic would be great but suspect he's got unfinished business at West Ham so don't see him leaving.

Re: Lets Talk Football

If Rooney does the decent thing and retires from international football now, he'll have saved the new manager a big headache. Never mind captain, that guy shouldn't even be in the team. His lack of...

Looks like Roy didn't even last as long as I thought he would.

What rammed things home for me, showing that team's total lack of heart, was the corner Rashford won at the end. You could see the kid looking around for someone to come and take it, but no one did....

Re: Lets Talk Football

Typical England under pressure, I'm afraid. Scared, frantic, utterly lacking in any kind of cohesive shape and unable to trap a dead rat.

As HK says, there's no way they've prepared in this...
