He didn't have a prolific record here either, but I'll take your point. He improved and he was part of our cup winning squad and he played his part in some pretty big games. I just feel he downed tools on occasion to get his move and that's not massively dissimilar to Isak at first sight. However, he was far more professional about it (albeit not perfect).

Credit where it's due, I guess. Edit: TBF he got the assist for Rice too I just seen. Goal and an assist is good.

I feel like some of that clip is quite harsh on him tbf but other elements are just like so much of what we have relentlessly seen (and he's had smoke blown up his arse for...weirdly). Will be interesting to see how he 'develops' out there.

The Great Escape is also outside of most people's lifetime now as well so not really sure how that's any different. Honestly think it's just people being offended for offended sake. Not really sure I give a shit if Germans were once offended by us humming a tune about POWs escaping a Nazi prison camp anyways. Fuck me. "Ooh don't sing that song it might hurt the feelings of those guys who murdered millions of innocent people" Virtually everyone on this site condemns Israel and the genocide they're committing and I can nigh on guarantee if Palestinians were videoed singing about escaping an Israeli POW camp not one poster would suggest it was jingoistic. Not now or ever. Folk are only saying it's jingoistic cause they most likely did not live it (WW2). Black folk sing about overcoming slavery that happened outside my life too, but I'm not offended by it. If anything shouldn't we all continue to celebrate triumphs of good over evil?

Think I was just a bit sick...

Okay.

Absolute nonsense being spoken by Lee Dixon and those in the studio. It's such lazy analysis. Ngumoha literally just skinned 4 people on the right and they're talking about Gordon being a bright spark

If we look a pile of shite in the tournament then I might agree.

A song for prisoners of war escaping fascist oppressors erm...okay.

Squads and teams win tournaments not individuals. Whether it's the squad I'd have picked is irrelevant. He's an international manager and I'm Joe Blogg without any coaching badges. The proof will be in the pudding. I'm not sure there's much basis to criticise him presently.

That's not right though is it? We've spend decades taking "golden generations" to tournaments and won jack shit.

It's literally just a song mate it's nowt to do with baiting the Germans the Great Escape. Doubt the Germans even give a shit about it what so ever. The only word in it is literally "England". I get it's from the war but as you've said so are most national anthems.

Looking excellent
