    Waterside store closing

    Part of the online surge has been the practice of buying several items and returning after trying! Lots of people "abuse" the returns policies by ordering the item in several sizes and only keeping the one that fits. It is one of the things that has put lots of the smaller web based businesses...

    Gareth Southgate

    That golden generation were much maligned and unfairly IMO in an era where we had a run of managers shoehorning players into positions continually just so they could field them ignoring if it was working or not. The Gerrard/Lampard argument ignored Paul Scholes who should have been before both...

    Lincoln City v Southampton Past Meetings

    If I recall it was Souness first that admitted suggesting that they should be looking for the opportunity. Can;t remember his actual words but basically he told his strikers to dive if they got the chance.

    Link to San Diego

    You forgot to add the area of England with the least rain but where it seems it is nearly always (apart from this year) raining just a little bit.

    I'm another on the Messi angle. If not for Messi then probably I would be with you but then again when the other option is France.....maybe not. If Morocco had won they would have been my choice.

    Score Predictions & Match Thread: England v France

    So we rule out someone because they haven't been "a resounding success" in your eyes at club level.........and keep hold of Southgate whose record at club level is stunning? The talk above is about Pep who has never had to manage any team that wasn;t financially dominant in their league and is...

    I offered an alternative in Pochettino. Awaiting any critical response to it. From what I have read he is interested. 'Of course, my relationship with England has always been very good,' he told the Athletic. 'We have a very good relationship with the academies, trying to develop young...

    No one disagreeing with that but can he take us further? Obviously he can maintain us being a top 10 outfit. Can he take us to being Champions?

    Pochettino. His style is absolutely suited to this current England Squad. As long as someone can step up to replace Henderson when he retires because Pochettino's game relies on that position.

    I'm not arguing with that but sport is about decisions given and not given. That fould diid not concede that goal. Us switching off after dealing with their counter attack conceded that goal. We switched off a lot. Minutes after we scored our penalty we let Rabiot run free and shoot. Giroud...

    Do you think Gareth is the man to take this team to win a tournament? When he took over we were a mess and the credit is to him that wee have recovered from that to where we are now but in his reign our attacking strengths have aligned with how the modern game is going and his strengths are not...

    Yes it was a foul, many fouls on both sides not given. We had plenty of time to recover though and the goal was scored because our DMs did not get out and left the guy some space. It wasn;t a counter attck-goal. We thwarted that and they had to rebuild their attack. If we micro analyse every...

    We were undone by 2 defensive lapses not by a ref or a penalty miss. The latter would only have drawn us level. We lost because we are so focused on players like Foden that are great if they can get in the game but contribute little if they can't and we ignore players like Sterling and Saka...
