Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[Hand Shandy]

I predict three draws in the group stage.

 

Whether they get through depends on how shit the rest are.

[Karl_b]

How the hell has Welbeck got in this squad? He's utter garbage; he is to strikers as Hoddle is to pundits. If Southgate is about not just this tournament but the next few, then what is there to be gained by taking him to the World Cup over, say, Sessegnon or Sancho? Or me for that matter?

[Anubis]

I love being a sad cunt, me. It’s all I’ve ever dreamed of.

Your pursuit of your own low expectations, and your determination to meet them, have been an inspiration to us all.

[Anny Road]

Don’t think I have ever looked forward to seeing a World Cup less.

[Hand Shandy]

Don’t think I have ever looked forward to seeing a World Cup less.

Why?

 

The World Cup is almost always good fun.

 

If you're lacking enthusiasm because England are poor, you really need to readjust your perspective...

 

Plus I'm intrigued to see how badly the Russians can deal with it.

[aRdja]

Unfortunately, at least eight of that German team are better than their direct comparison.

 

Even now.

Yeah agreed, Kane is better than Kuntz, and Dier is probably as good as Eilts was...but that’d be it.

Couldn’t give a shit about England but confess I do think it increases the excitement when they are in it and give it a go.

Still looking forward to it but not as in previous years. Think the venue is shit.

[Hand Shandy]

To be honest, I have no recollection of Reuter and Eilts, so gave the English players the benefit of the doubt.

 

Kane is better than Kuntz however.

Yeah neither do I, especially Eilts. You could argue that Sterling is a better all round footballer than Klinsmann was, even though obviously the German was the better striker.

[KMD7]

I wouldn't mind seeing England win it this year, as I quite like Southgate and a couple of our lads are in the squad. Obviously Kane would have to be sent off in the semi final first and Hendo takes over the captaincy for the final.

More chance of me having a wank over Gemma Collins on the Celebrity nude thread over on the GF.

[dockers_strike]

People are watching England v Nigeria?!

 

I honestly did not realise there was an England game on. Started to watch Austria Germany but got bored before half time.

[Anubis]

Spurs fans are desperate for Klopp to be linked with the Madrid job because they're shitting it over the chubby hamster.

Klopp doesn't have it in his DNA to go to those cunts, Pochettino does though.

[Lee909]

Bet Pochitino is pissed he signed that new deal now. Really not worried about Klopp going to be honest. I just don't see it.

[Anubis]

Not sure it'll catch on with England fans. At least the guy in the blue hoodie and beige kecks has the good sense to keep his hood up and his head down.

And then we have The Chubby Hamster King. Sorry, but I don't know how to embed Vimeo.

And lastly, how any socially retarded cockwomble with a camera can now make their inadequacy heard.

Knackers our preseason up even more. Would prefer the customary Ingurlund group exit.

Thankfully we only have Hendo and Trent... they’re well covered IMO.

[Jose Jones]

Yeah neither do I, especially Eilts. You could argue that Sterling is a better all round footballer than Klinsmann was, even though obviously the German was the better striker.

For someone who bangs on about that German team a bit, you should probably know that Eilts was one of the players of the tournament at Euro 96. He won everything in midfield and dropped back every time Sammer roamed forward. Basically Sammer and Moller couldn’t have been who they were without Eilts in there.

He might not have been a “good” player, but tactically he was excellent.

[Anubis]

Supposed leak. Time for an Everton conspiracy theory.

No way that’s accurate, United aren’t at home against a newly promoted side.

I’m sure he was important, but I just don’t remember him enough as a player. I never really watched him outside of the national team either. Didi and Jeremies had replaced him by the next big tournament France 98.
