Would he really? does that not depends on form and injuries surely. If I was Moyes I would be deffo looking at buying Cresswell. Big strong centre half 

Everton have Branthwaite and Tarkowski who are a solid and established pair for them, plus O'Brien who they spent big money on but couldnt dislodge them so played at right back. Forest have Milenkovic and Murillo who were right up there with the best pairings in the league.

So yes. Obviously considerable drops of form and injuries are what causes back ups to come in.

If I was PL manager I would be signing Cresswell. Good solid player who career has kick started since leaving Leeds.

Lee Carsley should have been given the full England job.

Not a chance.

He didn't even want it.

He's comfortable at the level he's at and it paid off.

Getting outclassed

The Lionesses were pussy cats tonight. Disappointing, tepid performance and big game against the Dutch on Wednesday.

That’s  good but not every bloke can sing. I’m one.

We were having a rehearsal at school before the big night at The Champness Hall. . The whole upper school was in the hall singing the school hymn. Our head of music was walking slowly along the lines listening to each pupil. When he got to me he said - “ You boy, don’t sing, mime ! “

He really was.
We had a smallish kid in our class from Heywood. He threw fits from time to time. Nobody knew if they were genuine or if he was trying it on. 
One day in music he had a fit. The head of music picked him up by the waist band of his trousers and his collar and banged him down on his back on the nearest desk. He said “  Now go back to your place “. The lad kept fitting so he did the same thing again. After the third time the lad went back to his place.

Today the teacher would possibly get jail time.

I flicked between the women's game and the Real Madrid v. Dortmund CWC game on Saturday. England women were disjointed. I wonder if the selection process has played a part in unsettling the squad. 

As to the other game, watching Jude Bellingham is a pleasure. He wasn't overly influential in the game but he oozes class. I reckon that you could stick him in any position and he'd excel.

Like a modern day Paul Warhurst.

A bit late for this but we had inter school comp and we came second after the results the music teacher said to me we would have won it if wasn't for you
