you add nothing to any conversation its so tedious, your anti spurs agenda its as bizarre as it is tiring, you dont like Tottenham or anything to do with Tottenham we get it its fine but let it go.
Might tuck that one away for when you next grace the Chelsea thread 
I'm no fan of Chelsea that much is true. I don't post in there 100 times a day telling you though or just make stuff up and repeat it over and over ad nauseam.
And whisper it quietly but annoyingly I like your new manager.
I’m normally one of the first to criticise but I thought that was much better.
England should have smashed them. Hit the post and bar, missed two 1 on 1s and I think Barkley should have been a pen (didn’t get a good replay of it though).
It seemed s
t because there was no crowd. Right there is a perfect example of how fans can send clubs a message on ticket prices. Without fans in the ground, games are awful.
The football ‘product’ isn’t really watching the best players play. It’s watching, and hearing, fans and players react to each other.

Hopefully Dier will not put on an England shirt again in a hurry. With him and Henderson in midfield, there is zero creativity, if not even less than that!!
Sancho for Sterling too on Monday night. Looked good when he came on, albeit against Croatia and for just ten minutes.
Every time I watch Dier I think what is he actually good at? Playing as a central midfielder but offers no urgency, zero pace and constantly gives opponents loads of time on the ball.

He was actually a decent defensive midfielder a couple of years ago, getting good blocks and tackles in, providing a solid screen for the defenders behind him. He was never the best at distribution but that wasn't really his job anyway. Useless
For some reason he now seems to have gone backwards and can't even do the bits he used to do well anymore which just leaves him as a liability most of the time.
England gave Croatia a game, which they also did in the World Cup, where the result really could have gone either way. Incidentally Croatia were largely the better team in the final too, the scoreline massively flattered France.
Would've been nice to grab a winner, but it was still an improvement over the WC result.
