Vale is a very different type of player though. This season the new version of Madsen has provided cover in front of the back four with his tackling as well as being our only source of creativity from midfield. You’re not going to get any of that from Vale so maybe Ronnie in front of the back four is the best fix for however long it is that Madsen’s going to be out for. |

You’re an optimist. We now have no-one remotely creative in midfield. |

When he came out with that answer about things being ok because if you took it as a percentage overall with the development squads and ladies team included the fitness levels were acceptable, you just knew he was an absolute bullsh-tter. |

Sorry, downvoted in error. I actually agree with everything you said.
What I found amazing was the way Ireland repeatedly burst through the England midfield as if it wasn’t there. The defence needs some serious reorganisation. |

But they’ve been choking for weeks and only visiting Charity Tottenham Hotspurs has revived them. I’ll be amazed if they don’t end up being caught by Man City.
I always thought when he went there that Eze would end up on the bench when Odegaard was fit and so it’s proved to be. |

I’d rather it was Forest as payback for their “cast of thousands” promotion season. Let’s hope a nice little points deduction would be waiting for them on arrival. |

Our strategy for away games now appears to be “garer le bus.” |

It promises to be but if Ford keeps kicking possession away to the opposing backs the way he did against the Welsh yesterday the outcome is likely to be very different in Paris. |

That confirms another of my distant memories Boston. I thought I remembered going to stand behind the Charlton goal at one end and then walking round to the other end for the second half to do the same.I was thinking it couldn’t really have happened like that when I posted yesterday but your post has made me realise that it actually did happen as I’d remembered.
The other thing that strikes me is how much safer it must have been for kids in the late 1950’s. I’m not sure too many parents would be happy for their nine year olds to go to football grounds unaccompanied by an adult these days but it seemed perfectly safe and reasonable then. |

Nowhere near as entertaining as Disco’s Charlton memories and considerably more ancient.
We lived in Eltham till I was ten so Charlton were our local club. I have very hazy memories of my Dad taking me to watch my first football game at the old Valley when I was six and they were playing against Blackpool in the First Division with Stanley Matthews still in the Blackpool team at the age of 41 and a crowd of fifty odd thousand.
Then in the couple of years before we moved going with my primary school mates to stand behind the goal and cheer on the goalkeeper Willie Duff, whose name has curiously stayed in my mind. |

That was the kind of expansive, free-flowing rugby that the French used to play years ago and although I’m an England supporter I found it an absolute joy to watch. |

The phrase “boo boy” is often used on here when a player is simply receiving perfectly reasonable criticism over their level of performance on this forum. |

The thing recently that I’ve enjoyed watching most was a series from Thailand called “The Believers” on Netflix. It’s about three young Thais who end up in massive debt after their online gaming business is hacked and destroyed.
Their efforts to pay off their debt by taking over a Buddhist temple and turning it into a money spinner, along with the dubious and dangerous characters they encounter in the process make for compulsive viewing. |

It amused me when I watched Saturday night’s MOTD and Dion Dublin’s big take on the Chelsea game was that they don’t have enough players and need to acquire a lot more.
I was under the impression that you’re never more than five feet away from a Chelsea player, there’s so many of them. |

That’s provided our “pitch” doesn’t take any more out of consideration in the coming weeks |
