    Putin is very dangerous because it is all about him. Any man with so few physical attributes who displays himself as if he is an Adonis has no self-awareness. Imagine if Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn disported themselves in swimsuits on a beach...on 2nd thoughts don't. May seem minor, but tells you a lot about the man and his sense of importance. He would sacrifice others rather than back down himself. No, Putin isn't Hitler...nowhere near if you really think about what Hitler did or caused....but still very dangerous and destabilising.

    I'm really happy that Allardyce, Moyes, Pardew and Hodgson are all back in the Premier League. I've always loved watching their sides play. Such exciting and innovative football.

    At least if we end up meeting United in the FA Cup Final, we won’t have to worry about Zlatan bullying Jack and Wesley.

    Just Lukaku, Fellaini, Rashford, etc., etc.

    When you don't have exciting and innovative players to manage it might seem like that. (and I include Moyes and Hodgson at Man U and Liverpool at the time) and Hughes at Saints!

    Yes it might raise the profile a bit, but at what cost? It's just further turning women's football into a pale imitation of men's football where only a few clubs matter. Try to build sustainably and fight your way to the top on the field? Well, sorry but someone else with a bigger name suddenly decides they want a women's football team so they jump the front of the queue. Sucks to be you.

    Think about it this way, if you're queuing at Thorpe Park for Colossus for ages, then you finally get to the front of the queue and then Ed Sheeran and his entourage (and it's a big entourage, say 40 people or more) goes straight ahead of you because he's famous, would you be happy?

    Any comments about the England team to face the Netherlands (captained by our ex VVD)? Looks a bit odd to me

    The fact that we're playing about five RBs?

    Really strange line up, but I’m okay with him experimenting.

    We have started well to be honest. Sterling and rashford look good

    Is this a first time for the Dutch to play with 3 CBs?
    The right sided one, keeps allowing himself to be dragged back towards his own goal, by Rashford or Sterling, often being 2 yards behind the other two.
    The right ball between the two would give us a good chance to go one on one with the keeper.
