As much as Scotland only have themselves to blame, these past 72 hours have been brutal. Literally every single thing that could have gone wrong has done. With a bit of luck they’d have snuck through, but every single result since their defeat has gone wrong. Fantastic viewing.
Assume if Scotland do go out then the World Cup will be cancelled? Just think with them being the only team to ever take supporters to a World Cup there’s not much point it carrying on without them 🥱
Bruno would be absolutely crazy to not leave, mind. It isn’t what people want to hear but it’s the sad truth. You simply cannot expect a player of his level to stick around a club which is operating the way #NUFC are.
@Leegib81 Agree mate. Never known a player like him me. He can have amazing moments of brilliance but his all round game is way short of the hype. Moments can win you stuff though. Last night he had no moments so was shite.
Anthony Gordon’s move to Barcelona will go down as one of the most bizarre transfers. He isn’t even close to being at that level. A club of that size fooled by PR and clever interviews. Madness.
All the daft Sunderland shite aside, he is a great keeper and it’s absolutely tragic and mental that he has wasted a whole career bumming about at Everton doing nothing.
Jordan Pickford makes his 86th appearance for England tonight. Of the 1,297 players to have represented England, only 15 have done it more times than Pickford. At 32, Pickford’s been a rock of ages for England. He can easily go on to Euro 2028... #ENG#FIFAWorldCup#EFC 1/2
Ronaldo getting his attention and stats against absolute dross like Uzbekistan is perfect. Secures that he plays every minute now for the rest of the World Cup and that means he will cost them against better teams in proper games. Let’s hope he gets a few more second half.
@Carlnufcjackson When you think of the top I dunno 16 sides in Europe, hes a better keeper than what a few of them have for me. Chelsea just for a quick example. To have never played in Europe etc is mad i think; hes so much better than that. Wasted his career.
Nice start to the season as usual. Will be massive pressure after the first few games or it could be a long season. Genuinely think we will be in a relegation battle this season. Won’t go down, but will rarely/never be above 14th. #NUFC
@Leegib81 Progressing from 5th is very tough but rules arent stopping us building a solid squad that is regularly top 8. You don’t have to be a brilliant side to be top 8 and the money we spending it’s more than achievable. We need to look at ourselves & own failings not just blaming rules
@Leegib81 Agree on this and it’s why rules prevent us from being at the top. But the rules shouldn’t stop us from competing to get into Europe every year. The way we being ran we be closer to relegation than Europe. Thats not down to the rules.
