simonhch replied to the thread Will Harry Kane ever win a trophy? | No.His time has come and gone. No point pretending he hasn’t been a brilliant player throughout his career, because he has been. He’s not been at the same level for England, but has obviously an international career he can be very proud of...

simonhch replied to the thread Jude Bellingham | Real Madrid player.Pretty sure neither of you know much, if anything, about football.

simonhch replied to the thread Jude Bellingham | Real Madrid player.exactly. It’s like people forget he is 21. As a nation we love a scapegoat. And here we go.,….

simonhch replied to the thread Jude Bellingham | Real Madrid player.He’s a brilliant player. Just turned 21. So much ahead of him. England are lucky to have him. The hate is just silly.

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.How did they get to the final by luck? They were the better team in everyone of their knock out games, and didn’t lose a game until the final, which ended up being very close despite coming up against the best team in the tournament. The...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Yes, I expected to lose to be honest. But of course you hold out hope of winning. I can’t cry about Spain being undeserved winners because they’ve been the best team, including in the final. But we gave Spain a better game than anyone else in the...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Jesus, get fecked. Rarely have I seen such a lack of sportsmanship in victory. I really can’t stand the ugly bitterness in this post to kick a team when they’ve already lost. I’m fairly sure the ugliness of your post reflects the ugliness of the...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Yep. We are just missing that x-factor. We took of Mainoo and had no midfield left, which cost us. Once we equalised, we should’ve brought Wharton on and changed shape, but we persisted with the 3 number 10s, which was a mistake. People are...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.I thought letting Cucurella roll around for 2 of the 4 added minutes and not to add even a second of it was absolutely scandalous. But I don’t blame it for the loss.

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Gutted tbh. Two finals in a row lost. Goal looked offside to me but margins are fine in football. Spain were the best team and we ran them very close. Plenty to be proud of.

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.This is exactly the sort of deal we wouldn’t have done a year ago, and a year on people would be saying “why didn’t we go for him when he was available for 35m, and now we’re interested at 75m, when everyone could see what a talent he was?” Well...

simonhch replied to the thread Copa America 2024 - Argentina Win.This is really, when one delves into the pattern of the international game, no surprise. There just isn’t much quality in depth in the central, south and North American region. 90% of the games are going to be pretty low quality, and when you...

simonhch replied to the thread Is Mainoo the real deal?.I agree whole heartedly. That’s a drum I’ve been beating for a long time. I think he is absolutely the real deal. Most complete midfielder I have seen at the club in a long time, and a massive, massive talent. But patience and giving him time is...

simonhch replied to the thread Amadou Onana | Ornstein: Villa agree ~50m deal.Don’t be too upset because you are wrong when you say he can play in a single pivot. I don’t believe he can effectively. He’s a good player in the right circumstances, and as part of a double pivot he is quite effective, but a single pivot...

simonhch replied to the thread Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25.I’ll eat my shoes if 3-5-2 becomes our primary tactic next season. Part of the remit for Ashworth and co is to establish a “United DNA”, a way of playing that all managers can adhere to and provide us with continuity. 3-5-2 is an inherently...
