Don't we usually get a decent 'out of the blue' result in September? maybe, just maybe... A year ago was the Wrexham home game so you never know That seems like a lot longer than a year ago! A lot of water under the bridge since then and all that......

I can fully get behind this. Each of the players forming what seems to be more of a settled starting 11 have all shown moments of quality so far this season. That’s enough for me to keep the faith that the more they play the more consistently that quality will show.
Much rather this than a team that have shown zero ability to dominate a game. We just need two halves of high pressing / intensity in one game!

Just watched England. Reassuringly familiar...
Big names underperforming or under-utilised. No wins in 5, no goals in 3 and 7 odd hrs without a goal from openplay.

The 2pm - 3pm for me - is fabulous. I've a season ticket at Lorca Deportiva who's game kicks off at 6pm local. Watch us, jump in the car, half an hour up the motorway to watch their game live. 😁 No streaming issues please and I'll take a draw here and now for County. That sounds like a textbook afternoon right there, Malc.

Not had one for a while but used to eat loads of those fresh Asda pizzas. Lived just over the road from one 8/9 years ago and was such an easy tea. Yeh it’s a religion on almost all Saturday evenings for me. Great stuff! If it's pizzas we're talking about, then Friday evening is the unchanging ritual in our house, and a trip to Bramhall Dairyground Rd Co-op the official start to the weekend. A couple bottles of Menabrea to wash it down with .. but then that's for the beer thread.

Against Italy who didn’t make the World Cup finals after being knocked out by the mighty North Macedonia. Thought we saw two poor teams tonight.

There was everything and nothing to lose in this game - Nations league relegation is no major disaster but the chance to beat an underperforming Italy was there to take. So why play this awful tippy tap defensive stuff. Where is the ambition. Does he seriously think this was a demonstration of England's threat in Qatar. The message is 'We fear everyone' , even a side that just lost 5-2.
Toothless!!
And WTF is co -commentator Paul Robinson going on about Defense and Offense-- This is British football not gridiron. Use the correct terms!!

He’s shite, we shouldn’t be this indifferent to a World Cup but the results and the fact it’s in winter have really ebbed all the excitement and life from it for me.
I think the problems in the last few games have always been there, but papered over the cracks. He is too safe and cautious.

We're a mid table side, they're gunning for promotion.
3-1 Northampton.
