    Yep, when the pressure is off, we can be a very good team. Slightest bit of pressure, and we buckle. They even had to get a psychologist in for poor little Raheem before the Euro's.

    All we need now is to qualify with relative ease, beat a big side in a friendly pre tournament and World Champions here we come! :bandit:

    The FA of Wales have been charged with allowing some fans in the crowd to wear poppies*......even though the team only wore black armbands (in an attempt to avoid such a problem). Obviously it would be better to risk a riot by confiscating poppies at the turnstiles. Never underestimate the stupidity of FIFA or the wonderful sheer bloody mindedness of British people provoked....the crowd would have found a way round it.

    *One crowd displayed a large poppy in the stands....was that Wales or NI?

    Time for the British teams to unite and tell FIFA to back off, re the poppies, or they will all pull out of the Qatar World Cup.
    Stuff 'em.

    The Southgate appointment seems to be stuck on the length of contract. The FA don't want burnt with yet another big compensation claim, but Southgate obviously feels that if they want him, they need to back him.

    We should be pulling out of the next two. I'd love us to qualify and then announce we are boycotting Russia.

    I wanted Eddie Howe on a ten year contract, with a view to a rebuild. I shouldn't complain that Southgate wants a long contract.... after all he did play one game very early in his fledgling career with some real quality <whistle>

    The players would hate that...they only get so many World Cups during their career. Perhaps we should talk a lot of other countries into a boycott and then go with a good chance of winning. :)

    Prowsie was being congratulated on the training video....could be something boring like marriage or a baby, but I have hopes it's about his call up.

    Henderson - a bit of a shame. Rooney, no loss there. Oxo - get him out of Arsenal. Wilshere is proof positive that playing and training for Arse is dangerous to your health and fitness. Even Welbeck the idiot, would have broken playing records by now, had he not signed for Arsenal.
