Most likely (I didn't watch the game, I was only following the score online) Bolivia unashamedly parked the bus... for 83 minutes. Games are 90'+, motherfuckers!

The Nazi is trying to show he's just one of the guys, but he's not, he's a internet NAZI!!!

Re our new coach: Gareth Southgate. Worked his way up through the under 21s route. Bit of a boring, 'safe' appointment but in hindsight, I'm not sure who I would've had instead (who'd realistically want it). I'm becoming quietly optimistic, not that we'll suddenly become world beaters but that we might actually move forward a bit with him. I can see him relating well to the players and he just seems pretty competent all round.

This generation of players is decent. Not so good as to attract the kind of hype that the 'golden generation' got and which probably helped ruin them. Plus there's no old guard to accommodate now. Maybe Hart but he'll hopefully be replaced by Forster soon. Rooney definitely seems finished. Kane, Alli, Walker, Shaw, Dier: none of them are world class but they are very good and I've seen worse teams progress further than we usually manage. We just need a break in a big tournament.

Don't do it!! We've been hurt too many times. Like the idea that THIS time this relationship might work out. Few weeks later BAM! she's moving onto the next thing.

Yeah, I know. All I'm saying though is they look decent, which they do. I'm not expecting trophy winning success but at the same time we've all seen teams win those trophies who no one would consider any more than decent, either in terms of the players or their coach. I mean in the last Euro's final, did Portugal and France really represent a level of quality that's beyond our current crop of players? This is less about Southgate and more about me just thinking we've got to be due a bit of luck by soon, surely.

any volunteers here to become the new coach for the Dutch national team? We need some new blood.

This'll help sum things up.

thanks. yes.

but no mention of van gaal there. isn't he holland's best available coach after crujff gave up the ghost?

look, if all fails, bring on an argentinian or italian.

they're everywhere.

demonrail666 · 03.27.2017, 03:26 PM

Bet they're kicking themselves for turning down Ronald Koeman when he was interested in the job after Van Gaal. Now I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Van Gaal again.

!@#$%! · 03.27.2017, 03:54 PM

im sorry i dont follow eredivisie but who was the coach or feyernood or how you spell it? didn't they win a lot lately?

eta: feyenoord

demonrail666 · 03.27.2017, 04:12 PM

Giovanni Von Bronckhorst. I'd say he's a bit young. He probably wants to see how far he can go at club level first, especially as he seems to be doing quite well at Feyenoord.

!@#$%! · 03.27.2017, 04:18 PM

i don't know him, but that's a great name

what is van gaal doing now anyway? maybe he went to china?

He said he was retiring. Only for the next day to say that wasn't right.

demonrail666 · 03.28.2017, 01:26 PM

I'll bet his wife had a couple of weeks of him moping around at home before ordering him back into management. I can't see him being the easiest person to live with.

i was just reading about all the people who hate him. i had no idea!

lololol

The guy's an egomaniac who seems to make enemies everywhere he goes. Although (Man U aside) you can't knock his record for winning things.

demonrail666 · 03.29.2017, 06:09 AM

Looks like the Alexis Sanchez to Chelsea rumour is getting stronger and stronger.

Him, Hazard and Costa (Not Lukaku as he's going nowhere)? Jesus wept.
