I think you're being a tad adventurous my learned friend. I'm sure Brucie could fall back to CH and leave the jumper in the tumble dryer up front on the counter.
Maybe so but a back to the walls approach won't cut the mustard this time.

I'd even venture to suggest we cross the halfway line occasionally to lull Johnny Foreigner into a false sense of insecurity.
:lol: Moyes Stylie.

I am predicting a second Round knock out..Obviously I would love us to do well,but I just think we are far too negative and it will cost us.

If we get that far, that’ll definitely be the end of our tournament.

To me this world cup is lower than the Carabou cup. Everyone is turning up merely because of the name. I have less interest in this than the latter, and have little interest in the former, but I would sooner sit down and watch Scunthorpe v Kidderminster than the spectacle coming up. And a facial one at that.

Pickford

Trent
Shaw
Walker
Stones
Maguire

Rice
Phillips

Sterling
Saka

Kane

Or replace Walker with Mount
Really don't want to see Pickford - Trent - Walker - Maquire - Phillips and Sterling anywhere near the starting 11 , but as you say he'll probably pick this lot Jay .

At least GS has a few exciting players in the squad as does Moyes , but lets just hope unlike Moyes GS selects the right combination of players in their proper positions in the starting 11 .
For me that would be -

Pope
Trippier - Coady - Stones - Shaw
Bellingham - Rice
Saka - Maddison - Foden
Kane

We used to breed real center halves at one time , Moore - Charlton - Butcher - Campbell - Walker - Adams to name a few really do not know what has happened , Just hoping this pairing get it together '
Decent team that, I might consider Ben White instead of Stones, but you can bet your bottom dollar he'll play Maguire and Dier :roll:
Funny enough I to was thinking of playing White instead of Stones ( just think Stones has a better all round game though he does make far to many cockups ) .

Fuck boring England under that horse faced cunt in charge and the other prick Nevin.
I’ll be interested to watch the silky samba skills of Paqueta playing in a decent side rather than trying to help prop up one of the most spineless,toothless and insipid teams in the PL.

So who do we think?

I reckon the Danes could be a dark horse (33/1).

Belgium v Denmark final (126/1).

Mbappe for Golden Boot.
