The Footie Thread

As captain Tom said “ tomorrow “ will be a better day”.
That said, congrats to Kyle Walker for being voted the best Right back at the tournament for the second tournament running.
I think that confirms that TAA is the second best. So we can close that argument .

someone having a laugh - over Carvahal

 

[Orikoru]

That's the full team anyway. Walker is pretty laughable, but I'd have had Guehi in it, he was excellent for us. It's a whole Spanish midfield but can you really argue with it? Chelsea must be wishing they signed this Cucurella instead of the one they got as well.

Surely the Georgia striker should be in there..share of the golden boot with the least amount of games

Bellingham will be spitting feathers!!

His ego definitely believes he should be in it

Back to proper football. City are predicted to play 79 games next season.

Must include the ladies team.

Wonder who voted

Ah just seen it was these guys

Fabio Capello, Ioan Lupescu, Michael O'Neill, David Moyes, Aljoša Asanović, Rafael Benítez, Avram Grant, Packie Bonner, Frank de Boer, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Aitor Karanka, Jean-Francois Domergue.

There was another Team of the Tournament

Who was the team of Euro 2024? Williams, Yamal, Fabian, Guehi, Olmo, Gakpo - BBC Sport

Who was in the Euro 2024 team of the tournament? Data company Opta crunches the numbers.

Although stats aren't everything, that team does look more sensible.

To be fair Rafa picked walker because he won Spain the final and Moyes picked him because he lost England the final

Apparently Southgate handed his notice in yesterday to Jude Bellingham, he passed it back to Rice, who passed it back to Stones, who passed it back to Walker, who passed it back to Pickford, who held on to it for ages…

 

[Tashyboy]

That’s the maximum if they reach the final of every competition they enter isn’t it?
Wouldn’t that be the same for every team from the PL who are in the CL?
The only extra game would be the Community Shield?

Plus world club championship.

 

[Beezerk]

Apparently Southgate handed his notice in yesterday to Jude Bellingham, he passed it back to Rice, who passed it back to Stones, who passed it back to Walker, who passed it back to Pickford, who held on to it for ages…

And then hoofs it 70 yards down the pitch to the opposition

 

[clubchamp98]

It's not just here though is it? Social media, the media, pundits (some of who never even played the game) all know better than the manager and slate them regardless.

It really is a poisoned chalice.

It's why when big Sam arrived I thought would be great. Our fans hated him and he literally doesn't care. Be great to have a manager who's like I know best sod you all.

Just got rid of one like that.

 

[PJ87]

Just got rid of one like that.

Really don't think we did. Southgate was and is a perfect gentleman, spoke well about everything and conducted himself with respect.

Sam would litterally cup his ear to the fans and talk them down more in interviews.

Two completely different personalities

But still did what he wanted on the pitch.
The rest is just a circus

Yes, very different personalities and as you say, Allardyce was not frightened to have a pop at the fans. However, the Daily Telegraph sting that cost Allardyce his job revealed more than a snarly personality.

Interesting to hear the FA are prepared to look at overseas managers. Sven was ok (nothing more) and Capello (28 wins from 42 games) so we have recent history of looking elsewhere but who fits the bill that is going to do it. Ideas of Klopp and Pep seem ludicrous and wouldn't want Jose or Tuchel so it seems a limited group to pick from

They're probably just preparing us for Carsley since he played for Republic of Ireland.

Trent to Madrid is the latest gossip.
