    Carling, as English as Guinness, chicken tikka masala and Hawaiian pizza!

    All good stuff to enjoy whilst he’s watching his Spanish Moorish dancers and his cross-dressing pantomime characters!

    Or perhaps an Italian Punch & Judy show.

    The best of British eh?

    Aye!

    If anyone wanted to control the population then one man + one woman = two children would be the formula.

    Certainly wouldn’t want any free-thinking, cross-dressing, trans-gender types messing up their thought control.

    When Teddy Howe arrived he “got forward” a few times.

    I think it lasted two games before he realised he was wasting his energy!

    It’s really that simple.

    And Sweeney Todd was just a barber!

    Just watch the game, concentrate on the eleven players. Don’t look anywhere else. Nothing is happening off the pitch. The ground hasn’t been sold, we’re not heading for non-league. Just watch the players in their pretty tie & dye tops.

    Harry Bunn 180 league appearances, 23 goals.

    A goal every eight games. Should give Lofty a run for his money!

    UTI99, think about it please.

    As several people on here have said when you check out the OWS or when you receive the club newsletter as I do each week all you get is buy season tickets, buy last season’s kit, etc etc.

    All it takes is a few sentences saying something like “Neil has identified areas where we need to strengthen and the recruitment team is actively looking to bring in players that will contribute to our challenge next season. We will keep supporters informed as and when we are able to confirm any new signing”.

    Or letting the fans know about any trialists.

    That doesn’t require a brain surgeon either!

    Uh huh!

    What part of “my views on the home shirt haven’t changed” don’t you understand?

    The claret fading into blue where it does makes it look like a boob-tube!

    The toxic atmosphere as you call it hasn’t been created by anyone posting on this board. It’s been “Bru-ing” up for three seasons now, and has been brought to a head by the owner’s decision to sell the ground and land to raise revenue.

    This has been exasperated by the lack of communication between supporters and the chairman, and falling out with both the local press and local government.

    Jem Karacan’s podcast gave us an insight into why our recent seasons have been so poor.

    You say this is Cox’s team but is it really? There are still a good number of players on the books who arrived ahead of him. We also can’t know if there have been any players Cox wanted who the ownership have knocked back.

    You are right that we still need further recruitment, and whilst you say it’s a new season and a chance to banish the bad times, we can’t be certain that things will magically change for the better.

    I hope it does but I’m not overly optimistic.

    at least Coxy seems to have managed to sign 3 players that might be capable of competing in this League.

    C’mon MK, I’m sure it was Will Swann who really signed them.

    Err! Have you been drinking?

    It’s almost the same as last year’s, only with yellow detailing instead of red/claret. And the third is like last year’s but with a horizontal band replacing the vertical.

    My views on the home shirt haven’t changed.

    New keeper will be someone who is still without a club in the middle of October.

    Which is when the club realise for the fourth year running that Watson is costing us points.

    No I don’t get it NI, a full month of pride and not one player will come out,what’s the bloody point.

    Coming out! What the hell are you on about?

    A full month for queers and lesbians but just one day for remembering our war dead, disgracefull.

    Tell me when poppies go on sale. Is it a month before Nov 11th? Do the players have poppies embroidered on their shirts that weekend?

    I wonder how many of the “this isn’t the England I grew up with” brigade will still be outraged if we win the Euros?

    Just had a look,both my choices, can’t wait for NI to comment on the away shirt.

    Why?

    We knew what we were getting from day one, despite the “popular vote” BS. Just glad the shorts and socks are blue otherwise it would have been really crap!

    A “fade away” pattern is wholly appropriate for the club at this moment in time!

    I see the England captain is wearing a rainbow armband now,where will it all end?.

    Wrong again!

    Check the pictures from the Ukraine game which was on July 4th.

    Kane & Neuer both wore rainbow armbands in the game played on June 29th.

    Because June was Pride Month.

    Get it?

    Morecambe were promoted on the back of a playoff final win. So the comparison isn’t a good one.

    Barrow would be a better yardstick.

    The way the Cods have gone about keeping the fans onside after relegation to Non League is worthy of note too.

    Isn’t that what people have been on about NI the Ukrainian felt obliged to do it.

    You’d have to ask him wouldn’t you?

    My take on it is that he had no idea what was going on. So I don’t for one minute believe he felt obligated to do anything.

    More that it is not an issue in the Ukraine. I’ve never been to Kiev so I can’t comment on race relations in that part of Europe.

    What I care about is that my country is seen as being anti-racist and am therefore proud to see the national team showing their continued support.

    I do not agree that all this calling players bad names exists,

    What?

    Have you not seen or heard about the abuse sportsmen and women have received on social media? In the six months from September to April last, Twitter removed over 7,000 abusive tweets. Have you not seen the ads on tv?

    Not just footballers like Sterling, Rashford and Deeney either. Even Lewis Hamilton has been a victim.

    Just because you live in a sleepy town or village and don’t hear it doesn’t mean to say it doesn’t exist.

    The England squad as a group has CHOSEN to continue to take the knee to let the world know they support equality. As did the Germans last week.

    As the above posts outline, choice should be respected. People like Fox do not respect this and are so childish in their attitudes that they want England to lose should they continue to take the knee. That is what I-A was parodying in his rather tongue in cheek post.

    I found it amusing that before Saturday’s game kicked off the Ukrainians stood around bemused as the England team knelt. One obviously thought he should be doing the same and went down just as Kane & Co were getting up!

    Indeed.

    So should players cross themselves when then walk onto the pitch or is it a Catholic conspiracy?

    Certainly grown into the tournament, the difference tonight compared to the Scotland game was remarkable.

    The Danes are playing on pure adrenaline, spurred on by the awful incident with Eriksen in the first game. So will be no pushover, but I’d love to see an England v Italy final.
