It bothers me that loads of people on both sides lost their lives in a war that was pointless.

Fernandes has a face that even a mother wants to punch. He seems a genuinely unpleasant little shit.

He's a little shit-tats wannabe gangster ******.*

*I just wanted to test if we can now use that word.

England really should give up on international football now. We're better off sticking to rowing, cycling and the skeleton as part of the Team GB Olympic team!

I expect Ollie will start on Saturday if anyone cares about that game.

I thought that but, as someone pointed out, Kane still has a sniff of the Golden Boot so maybe not.

It is the next boring Euro Qualifiers rounds I cant be arsed with.  We will go unbeaten not concede and forget how poor we were yesterday .  Get our hopes and then look disjointed in the next tournament

Yep, he is two behind Mbappe and Messi but would have to score three to go agead or two and assist four times, AND hope neither score in their next matches. I think even he knows he has no chance though so might not bother. Mbappe will probably be playing against England though.

Didn't he lead the racist France song last time?

Yep. Argentina as a country, having been a couple of times isn’t exactly kind to those of a darker complexion. In large part it’s just cultural. Not many black, Asian folk down there and they don’t see the world as diverse as the rest of us.

Chelsea’s official x account posting about Enzo Fernandez 💥 was hilarious, only for the same player to then hold up that Falklands banner at the end…I’m sure it’s going to go well for him.

It's only a bit of banter Governor,

[PaulWinch again]

Fernandez comes across as a hateful little prick.

There was a reason all the Nazis moved there after the war.

Unbelievable Watkins never got a run out

Because Juan Perón was a Fascist-adjacent arsehole. They didn't stick that in the musical*.



*I assume, have never seen it. Dave will be able to confirm.

Pickford is a huge problem for England.

Being invested in his performance for a few weeks, my god, the difference with what I am used to is night and day.

BBC news, while whipping up reaction to "that banner" just attributed an interview quote to "goalkeeper Emi Martinez" while accompanying footage shows his namesake Lisandro making said statement. Unprofessional to say the least.
