  1. In any other club Mowbray's position would be untenable. It's getting silly now
  2. Nine managers out of 10 in Mowbray's current situation would resign - without a doubt Nine clubs of 10 with a proactive board would have sacked the manager by now
  3. Seven points out of 39. Losing to the rock bottom club. Not tested their keeper this half. On and on we bumble
  4. If anything we're worse this half than the first dire 45.
  5. Gallagher back on the right wing. That usually works well
  6. Brereton has concrete in his boots instead of feet
  7. "Prod" said "I was knocking on the door of the school choir" in a singing test. Fortunately I was never called up. Imagine having to sing instead of play footy at lunch times?
  8. It isn't. It's average, with an average manager I've been watching England for 60 years. England always fail https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/aug/09/why-england-lose-simon-kuper
  9. Didn't do us much good at Euro 96 - another one we "should" have won but screwed up again
  10. An invitation to lose money. Do the opposite
  11. Why are England favourites and who made them favourites? We've reached one (and won) major final in our entire history. England will and always will be favourites to fail
  12. England finish just 8 short thanks a brilliant effort by Sam Curran. Another series loss though
  13. Are we managing to keep Albania out?
  14. England made a hash of it at 223-7 but it's not impossible from here at a little over a run a ball Just need to play sensibly with proper cricket shots. No need to take risks
  15. Jerasulem's a bit cliched and was done to death in Chariots of Fire and similar, but I'd accept it I'd much prefer Land of Hope and Glory...... it's upbeat and rousing and the words would annoy the other home countries, and the rest of the world. It'd even beat the Russian national anthem, which is my favourite of all Anything other than our present dirge
  16. Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory is far superior to the dirgy GSTQ, more upbeat and a better celebration of "Englishness". Elgar was a football fan too - a Wolves supporter - which makes it perfect for the England football team
  17. Staggering. Thomson received an absolute discharge after paying four shillings (20 pence) for court costs. Death by dangerous driving is a jailable offence now. Both he and Dougan would probably have ended up behind bars these days
  18. I always understood Dougan asked for a transfer on the morning of the final, but that may be a story that got embellished over the years. Never saw him play for Rovers but he was an excellent centre forward for Wolves 10 years later in partnership with John Richards.
  19. Looking at a huge target here ..... could be 330 plus
  20. And another one.... Frank Worthington, what a superb player, a maverick like Bowles, Currie etc. Was about to sign for Liverpool from Huddersfield but failed the medical... high blood pressure no doubt caused by his "social" activities. It was Liverpool's loss and England's ..... no doubt he would have won alot more caps at a high-profile club.
  21. Good player Peter Lorimer. Another of the Leeds greats gone, there can’t be many left now
  22. Look on the bright side Within 36 hours Rovers will have been crushed, Mowbray will have resigned, and Chris Wilder appointed.
