Got a bottle of it in the cupboard ! LOL

 

Beautiful little country.

As some people are interested in the exploits of ex City players-https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...mcclaren-quits-jamaica-curacao-world-cup.html

 

Really seems to be an sharp decline in managerial ability from that generation of British managers who did well in the 2000s peak and seem to have not moved on with the game, or that they're left with mediocre teams willing to employ them - Bruce, McLaren etc. The previous generation such as Ferguson (and Wenger and a lot of Italian managers) managed successfully into their seventies.

 

There's probably plenty of examples of failures in that generation.

Moyes doing pretty well for example, and Hodgson until recently.

 

Alfie Jones made his debut for Canada last night. He was awarded Performance of the Match in their 2-0 win against Venezuela.

 

I've already had enough of everyone fawning over Scotland qualifying.

 

we played curacao in a friendly in turkey two years ago

and im also mega pleased for alfie jones

 

just need mcburnie to stay fit and firing for us
and he an can go to the world cup

hes a much better all round player and finished than dykes

 

Agree - and Dykes is ****e.

Plus Dykes might not even get into the US with all them tats.

 

kyle joseph should be going too

 

Yes, they hijacked Swanseas bid two days ago.

 

Still love that he's an Aussie.

 

How are Aus shaping up for the WC? Any grand ambitions or...?

 

?

 

In a non football related thing I've heard of a machinery business that has gone bust, the administer is charging £900 an hour and the auction house is on £250 an hour for sorting and cataloguing the assets. The few quid that the company may have will be going to them leaving the debtors with nowt.

 

Not hugely, it's a pretty patchwork squad. Irvine still running the show which says a lot. Elder got a call up recently which I still can't understand he never got a look while with us.

 

Unbelievable. Although believable.
