I grew up in north west London, a stones throw from Leicester Square. I spent my youth darting around the west end and can’t quite believe I’m now looking at my own boat staring back at me from a giant billboard. Buzzing. Thanks to everyone who have supported The Club.
A game so desperate for a spark, for some sort of magic or unpredictable brilliance and we turn to the bench and there’s no Palmer, no Foden, no Alexander-Arnold…this functional set up and functional squad could really hurt us down the line.
Feels very Qatar 2022. Big win in the opening game, then lose all momentum with a 0-0 draw against beatable opposition. Most worrying for England is that none of our big players turned up. And honest to God, if I ever see Gordon in an England shirt again I’ll cry. So mediocre.
There is so much to appreciate in this...the quality of the goals, the artistry, the beauty etc...but perhaps we overlook the longevity. The first goal was made by Crespo and Tevez, the final one he runs off celebrating with Enzo Fernandez.
When Enzo Fernandez was born Hernan Crespo was 25 years old.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo do not play the same sport.
Ronaldo was an elite footballer, we have seen it before and we will see it again. Messi is a genius, unrivalled and forever unmatched as the greatest to have ever done it.
😳 "Cristiano Ronaldo is a major hindrance."
🤯 "Calvert-Lewin is a better footballer today than Ronaldo."
Rory Jennings and Jamie O'Hara debate whether Cristiano Ronaldo should start for Portugal.
Everything about this is beautiful. Exquisite, delicate touch of Zlatan and Henry is a joy to watch. However, what Henry does with 53 seconds left whilst wearing some sort of smart casual trainer is blowing my mind. The ease. The artistry. What an era.
Taken 20 years ago, England away in Macedonia. Darren Bent was in the squad that day. Later today, I’ll have the honour of hosting @talkSPORT Drive alongside him. Crazy how life works out.
This time. More than any other time 🏴
