  1. I've been very critical of Gareth Southgate thus far but I like the strong message he's sent out with this squad selection. The way Wenger has been hyping up Wilshire yet not playing him himself has been a bit reminiscent of the time when Wallcott got called up in 2006. If he's that great Wenger play him yourself.

    Also I like that he's given call ups to the likes of Abraham and Loftus Cheek. It sends a clear to the amount of talent being stacked at clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, United etc that if you're able to play football regularly you have a much much better chance of playing for your country. 

    Psychologically this puts a big onus on the likes of Wilshire to break in to that Arsenal first team, and gives an extra incentive for Abraham and Loftus-Cheek to improve. 

  2. I've enjoyed the first two episodes. It's just annoying that every series there's only about 3 or 4 fast paced episodes and the others you can skip without watching because a lot of nothing happens.

    Haven't watched in months.

    It's worth watching the PPVs these days in all honesty. Shane had his hell in a cell moment recently and they built up Brawn to a level where he saved Summerslam. I wouldn't watch Raw regularly though.

    Just google 'reddit wwe streams. Since Reddit is a hotbed of autism they post HD streams obsessively for jsut about anything.

    How are you finding the product these days? Feels like to me they've pulled their finger out a bit, and if what Cody has said about his wage packet these days is true, it will hopefully start a movement where they'll have to balance politics with entertainment a little better to keep talent.

  5.  allwrestling.org is where I usually go. I would give you my network pass but as you don't live in the UK that sounds like an inevitable lifetime ban awaiting.

    Well worth watching tonight with Kurt and AJ showing up. God bless meningitis.

    My grandfather my idol passed away this morning unexpectedly. I'm shattered. I know we all go through this but in a week where I'm meant to commit my long term future to my job and department - it's just another reminder that life is short(that cliche) and incredibly unpredictable. Got me thinking. 

    Sorry to hear that mate. My grandfather was somewhat of a father figure to me growing up so I understand what you're going through. Stay strong for your family.

    Gotta hope Sanchez doesn't start playing shit now he hasn't got a world cup place to push him on

    His World Cup place for Chile would have been a guarantee. Infact a poor season for Arsenal but a great World Cup would still improve his stock. Without the World Cup as a fall back option id argue we would now see a more focused Alexis that will benefit Arsenal until his futures decided.

    It's just hilarious these days, too much pressure in the England job for a man like Southgate who at the end of the day has absolutely no credentials to be in charge of a national team of England's stature to take any risks.

    Imagine if he called up 6-8 uncapped players from the successful youth squads and there was even a single poor result. Instantly up for the sack.

    You need someone established as a world class manager who is also inclined to take risks like I'm talking about when picking the squads. Good luck finding a manager like that, and have fun trying to find one that has any interest in managing England. Can't think of many jobs in world football where the pressure and expectation is so far out of whack with what is physically attainable with the players available.

    I'd argue there is no pressure or expectation. Not anywhere near what it once was anyway. We don't ask for much. We'd just like to beat teams like Scotland and Iceland.

  10. I can't get over Gareth Southgate admitted he's picked people that don't deserve to be in the squad. Is he suggesting there is less than 23 people in the whole country deserving to play for England? It's not like our under 20s won a national tournament or anything.

    He emphasises everything that's wrong with the FA. A complete an utter yes man willing to do anything that's suggested from above. He should be banished from football after EPPP and the under 21s performances two years ago. Never mind in what was one of the most sought over jobs in football less than ten years ago.

    A year ago he said he picks players on form. Well what form has Lingaard shown with his zero starts this season? Sends a terrible message to all players outside the top six and shows why nobody should trust what this snow flake of a man says.

  11. Benteke is injured for six weeks.

    So after last season where we had no left back for half the season after Pape Souare's injury youd think the board would have learned their lesson. But no, instead they refused to invest in two key positions, so now we have NO striker and Wayne Hennessey in goal for the foreseeable future.

    The board only have themselves to blame. Year after year our summer planning is piss poor and it's finally catching up on us.
