France absolutely dominating the Dutch. Vinnie has barely even sniffed the ball. Hugo with virtually nothing to do. Sissoko not playing.

Sissoko isn't even in the squad.

Sweden v Bulgaria is set at 2-2 at half time in Sofia. Sweden's had a iffy first half but have fought back from 1 goal down twice now and got better as the half went.

Bulgaria's manager also got sent to the stands about 15 minutes in

This came to my mind immediately after reading your post: Belgium 8-1 Estonia
Estonia scored a goal against mighty Belgium.

This is national pride right here. That 1 goal.

So much of the nonsense you hear on Soccer Saturday, talkSport, 606 and the rest. Not just from the numpties that call the radio shows, but some of the ex-pros talk utter shit. Simple stuff like not doing basic research on new managers like Silva, or players. Up to this obsession with there being too many foreigners in a squad.

I stick to podcasts and blogs these days, most of them aren't ex-pros, they might not even be professional journalists. But they're passionate, informed and educated which always trumps some 90s professional who gets "played 95 top flight games for Aston Villa" under their gormless mug on Sky Sports News.

Absolutely agree the key to success (whatever that looks like for each club) is being committed to a clear system/plan. That's why we went down twice, that's why Villa went down, and so on. Sometimes it's not enough, but you've only got to look at clubs like Stoke and West Brom. Came up, played their way and survived while others clubs have come and gone. Woolwich haven't adopted their system to react to the changes in the opposition, Man Utd evolve and evolve often and that's why they've been able to compete at the right end of the table for the majority of my life.

re: Lascelles, he's a great character around the club and was useful in the 2nd flight, but he's basically a clever Steven Taylor; strong, committed, brave, but limited and prone to a costly error. He's young, and may improve but I wouldn't expect him to often play ahead of Clark, Lejeune (or the resurgent Mbemba). There were rumours that Chelsea were having a look at him in January, and I think in hindsight replacing him then would have been good business.
This Fish This Fish How you feeling fishy?

No build up whatsoever to tonight's game.

And, yes, I know you don't support England, and It is always 'club before country'.


There is always one ;)
