I worked in a cafe at the Edinburgh festival in 1990. prior to that I thought the fried pizza and fried mars bars were urban legends...but nope ... they fried ****ing everything. I ain't no health nut but even at the age of 23 I thought that was some seriously ****ed up ****
Let's face it Rose has been a shadow of the player he was before injury. None of the pundits or commentators appear to have noticed though.
I'm pretty sure that Gareth Southgate is ignoring his form because the alternatives are a demotivated Bertrand or an ageing Ashley Young. Given the alternatives, his approach is much more comprehensible than the hacks, who just ignore his currently dreadful form and levels of fitness. He's currently sub-Championship level.
I'm surprised there aren't loud calls for Ryan Sessegnon by now. Oh, right, football doesn't exist outside the Premier League bubble does it?
Really think we need to be giving Moura a start today. Don't know how we'd fit him in but he's got to start getting some proper game time soon.
A very good piece from Sky on our management team...it is very much a team and it's good to see the other guys getting some credit. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11291088/the-team-behind-pochs-success
This 100%. He has already showed enough to know that it won’t disturb the balance of the side and his reaction from the bench on Sunday says a lot about his attitude. He will also be much more of an unknown quantity to Stoke, who will no doubt have spent the week focusing on dealing with the likes of Harry, Dele & Sonny. Get him out there!
It is pretty confusing at his lack of game time. Don’t get me wrong, Lamela, Sonny, Dele and Eriksen have been great and I’m not for one minute saying any of them actually deserve to be dropped but this is a squad game in which we have some elite level quality in attacking midfield. Lucas doesn’t even have to start but at least just get some sufficient minutes from the bench. He left PSG because of a severe lack of game time and so far he’s barely played anymore since joining us, which is strange considering he’s looked really impressive when he has played.
Excellent piece - although frightening to think that but for one late goal, we might have lost Poch and his team.
Sissoko, as we’ve also got Dier on the bench. Toby needs minutes since coming back from injury, but he’s not even making the squad, which clearly means his time at spurs is over.
Time to forget the last 4 games against this crowd and do the business TODAY! Not my choice to start, but this is a strong starting lineup. COYS!!!
