Maddison is head and shoulders above those three as a No10, as the stats prove, but he doesn't play for one if the favoured six, so no doubt he'll be overlooked again.

Is the argument not...if Maddison is so good why is he not already playing for a top 6 club?

Absolutely not, simply to dismiss a player because he doesn't play for a top side is utterly ridiculous. By the way only 3 of those alleged top six sides have won the title since the foxes and 1 hasn't won it in over 60 years.

Na Madison is class, take rice. Prob the second name on the England team sheet after kane (I say that because the others can chop and change ,plus if you put ramsdale or pope in for Pickford wouldn't be a massive drop off) but he plays for a team in the bottom 3

In the 10 years Alan Shearer was at Newcastle, they only finished in the top 6 three(?) times…I think…

I'd argue Bellingham would be 2nd name on team sheet, after Kane.

Although, perhaps 4th, if you include Maguire and Sterling.

Sterling shouldn't be anywhere near the team sheet especially on this year's performances

I wouldn't say just yet that Bellingham is. He is a few years behind rice age wise and whilst. he is class I can see him sitting out games for a different approach now and again

But yes in a couple years he will be one of the first names.

That was Shearer being silly and throwing away the chance of trophies
Does Maddison want to stay at Leicester for his whole career or would he leap at the chance of a big club move?

Most fans feel he will go to a bigger club at the end of this season, partly at least because he knows that will give him a better chance of international honours. Be good money that enables us to re-invest but personally would rather we keep him, those type of players are difficult to replace.

Bolton have signed a sponsorship deal with a firm called Tough Sheet.

Their stadium is going to be renamed The Tough Sheet Community Stadium.

I wonder if Southgate will pick Rashford for next game?

Rashford on left, Saka right, Kane up front, Bellingham and Rice in the middle. Who would be number 10? Foden, Grealish, Mount?

Some decent players at his disposal.

Yeah but can they defend

 

[Beezerk]

Ha ha is the correct answer. He’d rather play Kalvin Phillips at no 10

The local reporters will be rolling their eyes. How many times over the next 5 years, length of the deal, will they make the slip up on radio on local tv?

Be like City then.
great going forward.

We have the players just the guy in charge in question.

That depends how well they play as well

If you ever talk with a Spanish Person ask them to say sheet. They cannot pronounce ‘ee’ and will always say ‘i’!

Think the match tonight could be good viewing for all the right or the wrong reasons (depending on who you support).

Liverpool have been giving chances away left right and centre and a proper attacking team could make us look silly, I couldn't pick a score right now.... But I'd take a draw and hope for a miracle away.

 

[fundy]

Cracking start from Liverpool, pretty sure were only one more goal away from Macca spontaneously combusting lol

Pitch looks a bit Stevie G......

 

[fundy]

Nope not that one haha

Some hit from vinicius that
