I hope not. But a bear might ?
Does the pope in the woods??
Yup, who is he?
@fundy what do you think about Jesus joining your lads? Happy with the signings so far?
Jack Wilshire retires at 30 ?
He was obviously talented but I never really warmed to him as a player for some reason, to me he seemed to lack that drive to be a really top level player.
Interesting to hear what Arsenal fans think of him, did he have a lot of bad injuries during his career?

I thought he was overrated to be honest. Tidy midfielder, bit clumsy in the tackle. Every time I was injured, Arsenal fans would big him up more like he was going to come back and be their saviour each time. Had bad luck with injuries, but was his fitness the best it could have been anyway? Heard lots of stories about him smoking and doing gear when not playing. As you say, not sure he ever quite took it seriously enough.
Hope Gareth his watching he might actually learn something.England Ladies rampant against Norway.

Not really following this tournament, but aren’t Norway supposed to be one of the stronger teams in it? A scoreline of 8-0 in a tournament finals speaks volumes regarding the quality of the tournament itself. It’s a nonsense, sorry.
I'm enjoying it and think it's great that it's getting plenty of air time and publicity.
The art of enjoying it is to NOT compare it to mens' football ..................... especially the goal keeping.

I wonder if German fans were dismissing the quality of the 2014 Mens World Cup when they beat Brazil 7-1?Not really following this tournament, but aren’t Norway supposed to be one of the stronger teams in it?

Last night was the first game I watched through. And, in fairness to the England ladies, they played really well. Their movement was fantastic, they were composed and the quality of the crossing was great. It wasn't a scoreline based on comedic Norwegian errors that can sometimes be the case in ladies football.
So, I'd be inclined to very much praise their performance, it is well deserved.

Tell that to the media - I saw a post last night saying Ellen White has scored more tournament goals than Shearer. What a worthless comparison. That's like saying Mitrovic scored more goals than Salah. As you say, constantly trying to hold it up against the men's game isn't helpful at all.I'm enjoying it and think it's great that it's getting plenty of air time and publicity.

I don't know if this comes across as condescending at all, but I generally cut them a bit of slack since they play in the exact same size goals, but the average height of a goalkeeper must only be 5'10 or 5'11 compared to the men's keeper average which must be up around 6'3 you'd think. Any well-struck high dipping effort is likely to give them a problem really.Goalkeeping in the women’s game has never been a particular high point, has it?
