KrolMong Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Thats probably it for Watkins. I don’t think he’ll make the plane. England have huffed and puffed, but the only quality has come from Alexander-Arnold and Palmer from the starters. And then Kane and Grealish from the subs, Gallagher has had a good second 45. Eze was poor. The back four and keeper had nothing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eze was poor. The back four and keeper had nothing to do. England have to change their style too much to get the best out of Watkins. He reminds me of Vardy in that regard, club set up to play his style, but country has better options. Edited June 3 by Gamblor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 If Kane gets crocked then England have to change their style to get the best out of Watkins, Toney, or Gordon and that's something Southgate will never do so whoever is on the plane will have their ability negated by the manager. Or Southgate could completely shit his bed and play a false 9 to accommodate a floating interchangable front 3 with Bellingham in behind. But there's more chance of the Faroes reaching the next World Cup than that happening. I thought Eze was typical Eze in that he lost the ball a lot but in the first half he was the only one to change his pace and actually try and get past a player. But he came out in the 2nd half as if he'd been told "stop doing that son, you're playing for England now" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I’m going to make a wild suggestion. If Shaw is not fit I’m putting Saka in at left back. I’d even play him there in the next friendly. We looked really unbalanced last night down the left with Trippier, Konsa and Gomez. If there is one position we have a wealth of players it is behind Kane.

I’m not big into watching England TBH so what to watch/listen to tonight, the ladies talking about the football, or the ladies talking about politics and the general election or should I just go with what I know and listen to the wife. Gardeners World was nice though me and Mrs MK had a minor disagreement over where Monty Don placed a pot in his garden. Watching the grass grow was preferable to watching England. The vegetables were more intelligent than the politicians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 70% of the funding was spent on staff costs, most of that seemed to be admin. The main aspect was that the charities were linked, each had a day to day exec overseen by independent Trustees. Albeit the fact the Trustees of one were the Exec of another and vice versa.

BraddersTim Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I was shocked about this. MD of a company I used to deal with, told me when they bought the travel division from RBL. When they delved into the accounts, the old boys at the the top were taking free trips all over the world, taking their wives with them, 5 star hotels, flying business class doing the trips featured in the brochure. Not working, just taking free holidays. All paid for by those poppies that millions of people buy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcore Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 As an owl abroad. It's really confusing. Does this mean loads of games will be unavailable on Ifollow for international viewing or is it just domestic? I've paid £140/year for the last few seasons and have been quite satisfied watching the streams 90% of the time. Because of the time difference, I like an early kick off. 8pm UK time means 4am or 5am here which is almost impossible. Are they going to muck about with kick off times even more?

mkowl Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 @tomcore look at the other thread about the fixtures change. If you click into the OS link there is a FAQ and it says about the international rights.
