Is it just me or are all "expert" analyst's just crap!? I though Glenda was useless tonight. Always just stating the friggin obvious. Unfortunately I tend to think the same of all of them so maybe its just me & my age! And whilst I'm havin a rant, Hodgson? Does exactly what it says on the tin! No disrespect but he's really just Fulham. I've also found recently he seems to be sticking his orr(?) into domestic club issues which I think is very dangerous.


If Hodgson really is just Fulham-and I think you're probably right-then he's perfect for England. As a country, we're certainly not Chelsea, though we may be, like Liverpool, living on former glories. I prefer the Fulham analogy though; their home is modest and charming, one of the nicest venues in sport. And their fans don't expect much so they're generally a happy bunch; spose that's where the similarity ends tthough, eh?
 
Just seen McNulty's ratings on BBC website. Gave Sterling a 7 and said had a good game. Must have been watching a different game to me, all i saw was a player trying to do too much, running down blind alleys, frequently giving the ball away and no final delivery - all against 2nd rate opposition. He may have potential but is not anywhere close to delivering on a consistent basis to warrant such lauding as he gets at the moment.
 
I understand it's pretty iffy that Sweden will make the Euros next year. It put me in mind of great players who don't make international championships that often or at all. Popped across to Youtube to look up an appreciation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to remind myself of his outrageous talent. Probably won't see him in the Euros.

Also saw his appraisal of Bertrand, giving him a 6 and saying he was competent, but that he was well down the LB pecking order. Excuse me, but who decides that.? Him.? Personally I don't give a monkey's fart about England on most occasions, but I do give a monkey's about uninformed reporting. Bertrand is currently the best English LB, bar a fully fit Luke Shaw, and even that is debatable.
 
Wales attack is as frustrating as heck tonight, it is time we found and developed a new Welsh striker to get some goals for them!
