Really enjoyed the game last night, especially being sat in the Royal Box! Last time I got that close I was picking up a trophy!
Many thanks to @Joannemaher (enjoy your break!)
If he isn't already Jude Bellingham is going to be the best player in the world- unbelievable player.
My wife’s been clearing out some old papers in our study and came across this programme that I didn’t even know I had! It even came with a poster promoting the @DFB_Team new documentary about winning the World Cup a few of months earlier. #anyonespeakgerman#dontunderstandaword

Former Crewe manager @DavidArtell describes how a team playing in a 4-3-3 can get in behind their opponents, and introduces a session he would deliver to develop his players’ ability to do so... ⤴️👨⚕️

@GabSutton@EFL He made saves I thought he should make plus a couple of 1 on 1’s which I though were very good. Probably made too many saves for BAFC’s liking. They rode their luck in the 1st half and took their chances at the other end. They were clinical whereas PVFC weren’t
@_HannahJBrown@SarsonKelan Yeah I’m currently on a strategic management diploma course and the crossover from corporate to sport is very similar. And money all is a great film and book
@LowerLeagueLook I thought I’d seen it all in football but last night was another first in my career!!! It’s the first time I’ve ever been interviewed from someone bed!!
@SarsonKelan@_HannahJBrown And with you too Hannah of course. I was really enjoying our chat about change management models until we got interrupted/surprised/shocked all in one go!
@Ashy_number3@creights5 I agree. Maguire will need to leave in January one way or another and Southgate will then be justified in playing him ahead of the euros. Not playing colwill, dunk etc now could mean they’re unfamiliar with what’s expected come the euros if Maguire stays. Tricky one!
I didn’t see the England match last night but, like I did after the Ukraine match, have seen Gareth defend the ridiculous abuse that Maguire is getting. The fact that Gareth has come out publicly is refreshing imo as more fans need to understand the damage their actions can cause
@Ashy_number3@creights5 Great point re 2 games in quick succession-we all know you can get through 1 game.
I think in international football you pick players who understand what you want and how you play which takes time to instill as you can only train for 1 or 2 days in each window hence why he plays
@Ashy_number3@creights5 I get not playing for club point. Re fitness I never see an argument for players not being selected when returning from injury and I see this as similar. And re mistakes- he didn’t make any vs Ukraine and got pelters so someone thought he shouldn’t do his job tracking his man!
Just received the devastating news about Ali Betson from @LMA_Managers Ali was a wonderful person who has helped me numerous times and had an brilliantly infectious smile. My thoughts are with all her family and friends at such a sad time.
@this_is_amber Apologies- I get your point now. And I agree with what you’re saying. Those that watch Maguire (or anyone else for that matter) regularly always have a greater understanding.
@LDBtalks I don’t know Maguire but he seems to be really strong willed which is a good thing as he’s needed it lately. Doesn’t surprise me coming from the steel city!
@creights5 We’ve all been unfortunate in situations like that. I think most of it comes from Maguire wanting to stay at Man Utd and fight for his place which creates a narrative which passionate fans are more than happy to jump on, even when he plays for England
@this_is_amber I disagree amber. I think most of them just watch a clip online and then comment without context or seeing the whole match, even less so knowing the full extent of what Maguire should/n’t be doing games.
