The Rising Sun

You've seen the financial accounts? We are on a suspended sentence already. Pointless spending the money to get a team to quality for Europe that you would then be excluded from.
If its not Fernandez they have got money banked that is coming back in to pay for this.

Egbhali's swollen member i believe, for going £1m more than Man City for Anderson.

I've always said that since 1966 fans always claimed that our brilliant England team were world beater's but were let down by incompetent managers.
But THIS time it's as clear as day that Tuchel f**ked us up. AND you could tell afterwards that he's not really that bothered either.

£117 million?
Were we in a bidding war with another club?

Watching the final, they tried their best. Argentina should have had multiple red/yellow cards that were ignored.

They did their best not to... Not sure why Paredes was sent off after the full time whistle when he should have gone inside 10 mins of getting on the pitch...
the stink around Argentina is foul. Which of the three bank accounts is yours! ;-)

Besides some horrendous referee decisions, Ive kind of enjoyed this World Cup... I enjoyed the lesser nations holding the bigger ones to account. I have a soft spot for dutch football fans who seem to be more long-suffering than us across the channel... And I always prefer it when england go out in the earlier stages...
Back to the league now.. Im hoping Alonso is the second coming of the Special One and can perform miracles.

Briefly worked on its refurbishment sometime in late 90’s. Iconic building- looks a little bit the airport control tower in an episode of Thunderbirds

Kerry Dixon scores his first goal against Dirty Leeds. The 5-0 hammering in April 1984.

And celebrates...

John Hollins in the 1970 FA Cup Semi Final against Watford.

The Rising Sun. I remember the “wee blue cars” being, certainly at Ibrox, until the mid 1990s.
Not sure about elsewhere.

Possibly posted before.

Of course they are, they're in private equity

I do... Its not like the past four years of transfer windows havent been big steaming piles of poo in recruitment and sales.
I think our owners are compulsive gambling addicts.

Crawley actually want him on loan?!😀

The lads react when hearing this suggestion?😀

did you watch the tournament and the refereee decisions?

Disgusting by the Falklands war runners up, not even slightly interested in playing football.
And that dumb f**k Fernandez getting a red was lovely after his celebrations against us...where's your bedsheet biw you bellends

Imo this is still the best way to win in international tourney.
Not so much in club football though, it is hard to do this against man to man.

Hilarious from CFC.LDN ... a whole article about the World Cup Final that fails to make any mention of the words "red card" ...

A cross from the right to the back post, a header back into the box and a shot into the net.
Direct play, which seems to be deemed ‘old school’, but it just shows, it can work.
A forgettable Final.
Thankfully won by Spain.
Just my very humble summary of last night.

Just looked at the presentation, did not see Enzo yet did see Trump trying to crowd into the team picture with Infantino trying to pull him away.

I would only disagree on England being favourites. Their issues ran deep as you say. They constantly struggled to put away weaker teams; probably Croatia, a team of pensioners, their only true success. I always felt the SF would be the end of the road. That's where the top quality teams await.
