Re: England - the future....

Yes, and he will continue to score goals if we continue to play him. But we won’t win anything. I’m just asking the question as to whether there might be a way of shuffling the pack that would get more out of the collective resources at Tuchel’s disposal so we COULD potentially take that next step ...

NAT Brackley Town 2-1 Rochdale – Saints sit 8th with 2 wins and 1 in their first 3 – Hall with the winner on 80’ to wreck ‘dale’s perfect start Rochdale will be very difficult to beat.

Re: England - the future....

The game Southgate will always regret is Italy. When we lost to Croatia, we were an inexperienced team who weren't ready. Against France in 2022, we matched a top side and lost out on fine margins that can go against you at that level. Last year, Spain were a class team who could well go on a strea...

Re: England - the future....

Not really, the effect of a match depends quite heavily on two things. *(perceived) importance of game *gap between teams using the example of England being 4th and playing a team in 5th or 15th, the difference given in the algorithm between the two is tiny (the key parameter is 0.50 for 5th and 0....

If they open a Reading FC bar there I'm all up for a trip. New Orleans is meant to be one of the best US cities to visit and was already on my list to tick off.
