    I guess the other positive is you are genuinely supporting players from your own country

    When you over analyse club football, why do you support any particular club. It’s owned by foreign nationals, if you have one player born and bred in the same city as the team you support it’s a miracle, us supporters are a weird bunch really

    No feelings either way, I expected him to continue, and it’s a bit like me wanting Jesse out, who realistically would replace him.

    And difficult to form any sort of bond with players who you know won’t be at the club in two years or even less. Fans spend more time speculating on transfers these days than actually discussing football

    It’s not about forming a bond with the players, it’s all about the club. No room for sentimentality in football. In fact, our loyalty to the players that got us promoted might possibly be what’s holding back our progression.

    Game on Argentina got cocky and thought they were cruising. Argentina have slowed down and it's affected them.

    Two poor penalties by Argentina still find the back of the net, all about luck. Should play on with golden goal

    At last we can now get down to the football that really matters.

    Was back in my early days. It was almost unimaginable to have a player move away. Many stayed a decade at the club. The players were the club. All clubs are now are money masking conveyor belts

    That’s because all of them were very good, if not, great players but at some point you have to move players on.

    Understandable but have to admit I don’t like the current incarnation of pl football nearly as much as the good old days. Anyway it is what it is
