Remember the abuse Ashley ward got. He was a real trier but lacked any fundamental qualities as a striker. He was similar to Gallagher. Though Gallagher is a better striker.

Get stoned then watch the stoning

The same Germany who were atrocious at the back against us? They've been as bad as we have lately. Neither England or Germany will win it

I don't think Brazil or Argentinas squad are all that. Yes they are both playing well but that's Down to team chemistry. France have by far the best squad followed by England Brazil Argentina Portugal etc. Brazils fullback options are poor. Their forward options aren't particularly great. Argentina don't possess Any outstanding players apart from messi

I think klopp will step down in the summer. His summer recruitment has been average to say the least. The Uruguyan hasn't stepped up. His only other signing the young lad from Fulham. Midfield is very average without fabinho. Henderson isn't up to it anymore. Elliot has great potential but can't be expected to carry central midfield. Thiago is having huge injury problems. I'm sure they will go in for Bellingham In the summer but if they fail to qualify for the champions league they've no chance

How have villa managed to pull off appointing emery? Fantastic appointment for them that

Vale is nowhere near league 1 standard never mind championship. Hes like a shitter matt Derbyshire. But without the goals. I suppose tying down a young academy graduate isn't such a bad thing as we can get some money for him in the summer

In the past when rovers were shit. England games took my mind off it. Now rovers are doing well and England are playing shit under Southgate, this tournament has come at the wrong time

Who's our next big thing to come out the academy

I fancy us to win. 3-0

I think if we make the playoffs this season it will be a miracle. Not saying we can't do it just it will be an immense achievement. We have a young squad wanting to play for a very likeable manager. I was sceptical about hyam and brittain in the summer but they've both Been magnificent. Bringing through the likes of Adam Wharton and other youth has to be given great credit to jdt. I finally believe we are on the right track. If we can keep plucking these young players from our academy then we will have an excellent side in a couple of years. January is huge though. I really believe jdt will want to strengthen unlike Mowbray who just wanted status quo. We still need another forward and a decent backup keeper

Brittain surely has to be in there

Love the world cup. But this one not so much. Will miss most of the games through work. Terrible time to have it. It should have gone to Australia

Actually 7

Tony Mowbray 'Sunderland fans need to be realistic, this isn't the heady days when they were challenging for promotion from league 1' . I made that one up by the way

Loving their failure so far. Can't stand the whinging scousers. I think klopp's time at Liverpool is coming to an end. For all the 'success' he's had, he's only won 2 major trophies in 7 years. Compare that to pep, there's no doubt who's better

Hes been out-thought by two relatively rookie managers (jdt, kompany) so much for all his experience

Mowbray quote after the Burnley game 'Not going to make excuses and blame the injuries. But it was the injuries…”

Hilarious. Now they realise how bad he is

Phillips is weak in the air

Why are we getting outplayed by a mediocre team

Jude scored two goals for dortmund today

Hyam is such a key player now

That's down to Travis not being the protector.

Take Travis off. Hes supposed to be the ball winner. He's clearly not protecting the defence
