"Other" football 23/24

Lots of thud and blunder by both sides but hell of a Shaquiri goal.

Lots of net busters this week.

 

Old man Shaqiri off now. Hips don't work.

 

Worst game of the tournament so far. Two poor teams and an equally poor ref.

 

Switzerland didn’t take their chances.
Scotland the worst team I’ve seen so far.

 

They weren't that good. Once they lose the William Wallace approach they have nothing else.

 

Still think we should have made a play to get him.

I'm not sure. I think he's a great championship manager as long as he has the money to spend. I don't think he'd have come when we were under the umbongo and in the meantime, Erol has steadied the ship.

 

He did OK out west without a lot of cash.

 

Indeed but didn't move them forward.

 

Now I think about it, two play offs? However, he did spend a bit and more than we could have given him last season.

 

His wages would have been a major problem as would his transfer demands. He brought in enough players at Forest for 3 teams

 

Kasper looking well.

 

He is only 37.
A mere pup.

 

He's not so happy now.

 

But happier now.

 

England are poor.

 

Rob Page has an excuse; he hasn’t got a vast pool of PL players. Southgate has no excuse.

England were negative lethargic and tactically poor.

 

Terrible misplaced arrogance from England. They thought they'd won it before a ball was kicked. A poor attitude against a good side that wanted it.

 

Don’t normally bother with the tv pundits. They’re questioning Kane. They should be questioning Southgate who just can’t get the best out of these highly rated players like Kane, Alexander Arnold, Foden etc

 

Just sat down to watch Spain vs Italy which on paper is the pick of the games so far. Spain off to a frantic start.

A glass of Nelson's Blood as an accompaniment.
