No, England are right in the mix with their Championship standard goalies and converted right backs at centre half.Here's a good laugh to cheer everyone up

I hope to God he wasn't the Train Driver!!When we got to Stratford there was a guy who was still asleep, and I did my good deed for the day and banged on the window to wake him.
Hehe13 agrees
Nothing and I mean nothing will ever change my mind on this clogger.
As a self proclaimed happy clapper and a defender of almost all of our players when they are dug out, I feel I can stand tall on this one, unrepentant in that I like to think I'm not a melt or a scapegoater.
Questions to be asked?
Where did Watfords attack stem from?
How many times did they attack this space?
How many 1v1's did Tripps lose?
How many headers did he win/lose?
Of the 101 crosses he flung in last night how many found a Spurs player?
Ergo, how many times did he concede possession?
How many chances did he really create?
Of the chances he did actually create, how many did Watford in return create down our right flank? Was the ratio in our favour or Watfords?
Why does one of the meanest defences in the league concede so many changes last night, all down the our right flank? *A caveat to this answer to cut Tripps some slack is that our forwards and midfield didn't press well last night and this was also a contributory factor. Son doesn't press well and Kane since his comeback from injury isn't pressing at all, this is an issue and allows oppo to play the ball without pressure.
The songs from the Watford fans made them look even more small time than they actually are
We weren't among the top four clubs in Europe, only the top 8. We only got to the quarter finals that time under Harry, not the semi finals.So you are saying that for club such as Tottenham and Liverpool anything less than a win in CL is failure and being one place higher in domestic league is more important? You ask "so what" - "what it means is to be at the very top". You see, we can tell years after that our club was among top 4 clubs on the whole Europe! Sounds fair bit more impressive than "our club was among 16 best teams in Europe", doesn't it?
PLEASE let's not be satsified with becoming new Woolwich whos goal is to sit on 4th and drop out in 1st round of CL every year! And being honest to Pool, they have done well in CL and being so close to final is admirable result.
P.S in my previous post I explicitly said that this is valid for those specific positions (3rd vs 4th!).
P.P.S very important 3 points today! Not the prettiest game but absolutely over the moon regarding result
And whilst I agree the scousers have done well to (probably) get to the final, they've only really played one very good side. Would be interesting to see how far they'd have got with the draws we had.
Like Davies he is ok
Genuine and honest but neither good enough for where we want to be
But more importantly see how many agrees you get
You're welcome...
T'WAS MEEEEEEE!!!!
I was particularly pleased with Eddie the Eagle.... (though the Maggie Thatcher one missed the mark a little!!)
Im glad you enjoyed my work!!
Though I was still reeling when Son got taken off, and denied the possibility of my DELE-KANE-SON chant... alas, I may never have the chance unless they all score in THAT order in a game... still, 2 outta 3 ain't bad... though it was like watching an accumulator fall with the last race!!
(If only I knew you were in 127
alexwooty
... would have said 'Ello!) I'd moved from 128 due to the INCESSANT droning and moaning from a coupla blokes behind me....Piled the pressure on Liverpool and Chelsea by winning last night.
So relieved.
Not losing was critical. The win hopefully sets us up for a hard but winnable game on Saturday.
But we have bought a bit of insurance.
Best outcome for us; Liverpool and Chelsea is a draw I think.

me too, I once woke up in a locked and totally switched off train in the sidings outside Colchester
I woke up because my alarm went off, 5 minutes after the train arrived, disgorged its passengers and parked up..... ho hum,
I still have no idea how I managed to escape.
I normally like your posts but your opinion on trippier is so wrong, I'm wondering whether you've ever watched a football match in your life!
That post was one of the dumbest I've ever read. Everyone on here is now dumber for having read it.
Great from Hugo. After all the criticism.
We gave the ball away more times I could count. It was shocking.
So... We won ugly...
It was unconvincing and unspectacular...
However... if ANY of the other 'Big Sky 4' do this, it's the hallmark of Champions!
With us, it's a sign the players hate the system, most of them will leave... followed by Poch, who is off to Man Utd if Gary Neville gets his way... not to mention that we're still bottlers when it matters!
Go figure.

The last 3 teams to win the title have all LIMPED over the line playing utterly tedious 1-0 and playing rubbish. Oh, and being applauded all the way by the fauning meeja, "Professionally closed out the match bla bla" and all that shit.
Well, time for us to win a few without setting the world alight. Tango Sierra.

Dembele and Dier the culprits
I’m a fully paid up member of the ‘Oh Moussa Dembele’ fanclub but last night he was all over the place...misplaced passes, slow to see opportunities etc. Hope it’s a one off (though mindful of the Pogba incident in the SF)
