Benzema looking to leave Saudi Arabia. There's still time.

He only just got there

Fall out with Nuno Espirito Santo or Nuno One Hand as he will soon be known.

[KevinGage]

Wanted him to remain, as still thought he could be an asset - partic in the slower paced European games.

But even getting him onto the pitch is an issue now, nevermind his contribution on it.

[AV84]

Shame about Coutinho. I really wanted to keep him but it was probably a romantic notion of him recapturing his younger form and propelling us to glory that had me wanting that.

It's a shame his time here ended with him crying as he hobbled round the pitch to get treatment.

Not sure where to put this - but I wish that Southgate would get the boat - Nekieah ahead of Watkins, no Konsa. 

Philips, the retired Henderson, and Maguire all in. 

we no Ramsey if fit wouldn't have been in there

Hes just a joke

"Get the boat" is an expression I haven't heard in about 20 years!

I’ve never heard of that saying?

[AV84]

I’ve never heard of that saying?

We used to say it all the time when I was a kid, but I always assumed it was an Irish thing, or more specifically a Dublin thing.

I meant get the boot.  Just rage typing

Oh, I thought it was making a comeback and had crossed the channel.

Sorry - I did think about keeping up the pretense - felt a bit edgy for a minute there!!

Sorry. I was so excited at the thought of the phrase making a comeback that all knowledge of geography temporarily left my brain.

He could have been referring to the St. George's Channel if travelling from Rosslare to Fishguard, but he has thankfully corrected himself.
