Didn't Bobby Robson keep managing well into his mid-70s and well past his sell by date..... just saying :wink:

Watching the England France match last night was particularly embarrassing when you see the best England could field was mainly a bunch of Spuds players against a 10 man France for half the match and still get beat.

I'd never really seen Mbappe play before or Dembele but for a pair of young players they were excellent showing desire, skill and tactical nowse, traits that we would never want to see in our team so there is no way Mbappe would ever come to play for our Scam Merchant even if he offered the right price :roll:

I actually thought Giroud played ok last night too, managed to stay on his feet most of the time which is unusual seeing as when he plays in red and white he spends most of his time on his arse :roll:

Sean's good at countdowns, maybe we can get him to start one for the when the trolley dash happens :twisted:

Ahh Bobby Robson, loved him, here are a few giggles on this depressing thread....

Reporter to Newcastle's Shola Ameobi: 'Do you have a nickname?'
Ameobi: 'No, not really'
Reporter: 'What do your team mates call you?'
Ameobi: 'Just Shola'
Reporter: 'So what does Bobby Robson call you?'
Ameobi: 'Carl Cort.'


"In Mexico '86 a few of the players had been to see Beverley Hills Cop. As they're walking into the hotel a few of them are singing "The Heat is on", Robson turns round serious as you like and says "get them to turn it off then, its baking in here!"


"He turns to Bryan Robson at the airport and says, "Where's Reidy?" (Peter Reid).
Bryan Robson "You didn't pick him boss."

Everton have just signed Klaason from Ajax. Now it might not work out. :rubchin:

But on the other hand, even at £24 million it could be a winner, particularly if they nab Siggardsoun from Swansea as well.

Everton are clearly acting with purpose.

On the other hand, Everton fans may be willing to sit back and hear how Koehman - 'almost' signed - fill in the blank
space - anyone, from John Charles to Christiano Ronaldo, via Dixie Dean - :shock: :censored:

Meanwhile in darkest London N5, Bouldy is limbering up for two more years of traffic cone arrangement.

BBC Website:

Arsenal have had a £17.6m bid rejected for Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado, 29, but the Serie A champions are looking for about £30m for the former Chelsea player. (Sun)

The Gunners have also made a £10.5m bid for Fenerbahce centre-back Simon Kjaer, 28, who is also wanted by city rivals AC and Inter Milan. (Turksvoetbal - in Turkish)

Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal, 31, says he is "almost certain" fellow full-back Hector Bellerin, 22, will stay at the club next season amid interest from Barcelona. (Evening Standard)

I take everything in papers with a pinch of salt, but I came across this on the Metro's article:

"It’s understood the Gunners’ bid was identical to the figure Massimiliano Allegri’s side paid Chelsea for the Colombia international."

And I'm inclined to believe this because it's just such a typical Wenger thing to do :banghead:

I automatically discount and dis-believe anything and everything regarding transfers & wenger - Unless it is a free transfer than I know it is most likely to be true - The cun.t is such a Liar.

Cuadrado? Didn't Wenger see what he was like at Chelsea ffs?!
And all these top forwards supposedly turning us down due to the lack of CL footie. Well Mr Knowitall, the chickens are coming home to roost. You fucked around telling the world it was your best ever squad and not bothering with top players and this is the result.
Still wtf do I know? My lack of 30 years in management presumably means my opinions should be kept to myself
