Why no Maddison but yes to Mount? Maddison is miles better.
He's only just coming back from injury.

What happened to the Maguire case? Dropped? still going on?
This is like saying that people like Fred should move to some championship club because they'll never be appreciated by the United fans like they would at Barnsley. Footballers generally want to be in the best teams surrounded by the best players.
Also, if Moses really cared so much about Nigeria's team, its rather incongruous with him retiring at 27 from international football.... Certainly not because he has a hectic club career either. Zaha similarly pulled out of every Ivory Coast squad for about 18 months after they failed to qualify for the world cup, only returning for the African Nations. I think you overestimate the pull of the homeland to a lot of these guys. Particularly African countries where the FA's are oftentimes basket cases.
Maddison is still working his way back to full fitness but other then that one of them plays for Chelsea ...Why no Maddison but yes to Mount? Maddison is miles better.
Not sure what the butterfly is for.

Tbf in a way, he's doing us a favour by not risking them getting injured nor worsening further their fitness.No Mason, Shaw or AWB.
Cheers Gareth you mug.
DCL has fondness of butterfly. That emoji looks so cool.Not sure what the butterfly is for.
England’s midfield is so poor relative to other parts of the team. Else it could have been amazing.
yup the German's do that sort of thing all the time and no one bats an eyelid at it, our media would be in hysterics ...Yep. They should just try Alexander Arnold in midfield and put in another right back (it's not like we're short there). He has the passing ability for the position, so we have nothing to lose really.
Surprise parties are never a surprise. Knowing Tammy he probably pushed for the party as he loves being the center of attention. Putting this headline in his scrapbook as we speak.That was really harsh on Tammy, it was a surprise party for him!
fecking morons who turned up/organised it though.

And you call yourself a Chelsea fan..."Knowing Tammy". Sure!
What's the actual reason anyway for a friendly being inserted into this schedule? I thought Nations league games were supposed to replace them and obviously two this month and in November.
UEFA being UEFA I guess but makes even less sense being BCD.
There are 8 play-offs on Thursday involving teams from all sorts of different Nations League groups. That means NL games involving those teams can't take place until Sunday. What do you do if you don't have a play-off? Do you train and prepare for 6 days? Or do you take advantage of the open midweek slot, arrange a friendly and potentially test out fringe players? I don't think it's UEFA ordering teams to play friendlies but the different federations themselves preferring the latter option.
Given how much national team managers moan about lack of preparation time you'd think they'd want the full week of tactical work without interruptions. But then again a friendly is a preparation too so it's pretty much two sides of the same coin.
England U21 just drew 3-3 with Andorra's U21s...
Surely the worst result in England's under 21 history. I've never seen a worse coached defence that England under Boothroyd. The last Euro's was painful.
Still, its better than the alternative were he flukes doing well with them and ends up becoming England manager, as would inevitably happen.
It's on Channel 403 Sky Football.Is this on sky because i cannot see anything on my sky go account? Says it should be on sky sports somewhere.
