Upside Down

Nah he's shit and so am I. We've brought in over 25 million and are looking at players from the pub leagues of Germany. Not fucking good enough. It's ok to post something that isn't total bollocks as well rather than acting like a 7 year old and dismissing the realistic views of other fans because they aren't just blindly positive about signing more shit players.

More flexible in the sense that he actually has tactics.

So you'd be more than happy if I signed then? I'm totally shit and have absolutely nowhere near the required level of fitness but give me four or five grand a week and I'll play up front. How dare we have any kind of standards! There's a team that plays in blue and white every week, what more do you fucking want! Get behind the ladz FFS!!! What an absolute load of bollocks. Unbelievable.

To be fair, if you bought a season ticket and expected anything other than this then you're not exactly the sharpest tool in the box. It's exactly what anyone who has paid even the slightest bit of attention over the last eight months should expect. I'm actually amazed we've signed anyone at all TBH. Pears as our goalkeeper has been, is and always will be a total liability. We will be relegated this season and he will cost us points.

I'm more than willing to risk getting burned.

Nah I'm woth forever blue, it's fucking shite.

List to 28th January 2025

There is also a poor mentality amongst English football. Southgate exemplified this as he always played to not lose rather than to win. Foreign coaching is about winning games.

Woke

One of the most overrated players to ever step on the pitch.

He played Mainoo (Man Utd) who was shit and refused to play Wharton (Palace) who is lightyears ahead of him. Same old story with England, the players from the 'big clubs' walk into the team ahead of far superior players who come from smaller clubs. Funnily enough it always ends in total failure.

They'll go for another yes man that doesn't rock the boat. All those in the F.A are not going to do anything to upset the cushy number they're on.

It's embarrassing really but I'm not exactly surprised at the people who are struggling with the concept.

But they didn't flatten anyone in this tournament. They won two games and played shit in every single match apart from half of the Netherlands game. Apart from being slightly resilient in defence England had absolutely nothing going on tactically and it showed in every single game. A premier league team with a division 3 manager.

Not good enough for England though 🙄

Can't afford him.

Duran Duran - Girls On Film

I had to swerve this thread for a bit. Between Southgate being the best English manager of all time and grown adults militantly refusing to understand basic life concepts like luck, it was getting really really ridiculous. Hopefully we'll get back to planet earth now. I said Southgate wasn't good enough and I was proven right.

I called out his total lack of ability before this tournament started and some people got very upset and defended him to the hilt. I said that England wouldn't win anything with him in charge. They got to a final after winning only two games and playing some absolutely woeful opposition. The final itself they weren't even close. As soon as Spain stepped up a gear England were nowhere near. None of this is for a lack of talent, England have some great players but with absolutely no game plan failure is all but assured.

Lost count of the amount of times Spain opened England up like a tin of beans with one or two passes. England have a player capable of doing that but for some reason the manager wouldn't play him even in the group games. As I said before the tournament started, England's biggest weakness was in the dugout.

What success is that exactly?

1st half was pretty even. 2nd half was men against boys.

Talk about Mickey Mouse.

The Beautiful South - Old Red Eyes Is Back

The fact we're underdogs in any of those games shows what venkys have done to this club. This is probably the only place where you'll find people who believe that Blackburn Rovers not only can but should be more than just some shit team plodding along in the second division. I for one will never accept anything less than mid table Premier League from venkys. That's what we were when they took over and they've never made a single attempt to get us back there. It isn't fucking good enough. If that makes me negative then so be it.
