Boxing masterclass from AJ, and people say he can’t box

Probably best getting it checked out by a doctor...could properly fuck up your bones if you carry on with it broken

Maguire has benefited a lot from there not being many great English centre backs and his ability to run out of defence combined with his absolute breeze-block of a forehead puts him ahead of the likes of Tarkowski, Mings etc...but if you're talking the days of Terry, Ferdinand or Campbell he would not get a look in for England and that's United's issue as they should be targeting absolute world class defenders or players with that potential Leicester have played a blinder

Just don't see how Trent, AWB or James are better than Walker tbh

I imagine Woodward is hesitant to sack him after getting rid of Mourinho, probably keen to find some consistency. I think the odd win between these draws and losses have probably given him some time but you just can’t go into the January window with him still in charge.

Mate good managers don’t choose a club based on where they’re living otherwise Klopp woulda chose Spain over Liverpool Leicester in their current state are in a much better condition than Arsenal and if they get CL football then they’ll have enough money to compete with Arsenal imo. Not saying Rodgers wouldn’t choose Arsenal over Leicester, just that in their current conditions Leicester are as much as a pull for Rodgers to stay

Mate I dunno what you’re arguing about but all I’m saying is Leicester will be able to spend as much as Arsenal if they finish top 4. For clarity I pointed out City and Chelsea as big spenders so no one would get hung up on terminology. If Arsenal can suddenly pull out that sort of money then fair play, that’s a big pull. But as it is, if Leicester finish top 4 I don’t see why they can’t spend as much as Arsenal have...which btw is about £40m more than they spent last summer

But they don’t give out big money like City or Chelsea...I don’t see why Leicester can’t spend what Arsenal do if they get Champions League money as well as Prem

In comparison to the actual big spenders in the division not really (City, Chelsea, United), in comparison to Leicester over the past 3-4 years of course they have. My point is that with Champions League money on top of PL there is no reason why Leicester can’t spend upto £130m next Summer (seeing as they’ve just spent around £90m this past Summer) which is where Arsenal’s financial limits have been in comparison to the clubs that can blow them out of the water (City, Chelsea and United)

I’m not saying he’d never go...but Arsenal are hardly renowned for spending big and Leicester look on course to secure Champions League money. On top of that Leicester have a team Arsenal can only dream of right now. If United were calling for Rodgers or even Chelsea I’d get it, but unless Arsenal are promising big money then I don’t see the attraction over Leicester personally

Can they? Leicester have won a league title recently and if they get Champions League football then I don’t see how Arsenal are the bigger draw, especially with the money that will bring into the club.

What can Arsenal offer him that he doesn’t already have at Leicester?

At this point you can’t logically vote for someone because another party have been racist, Labour have been openly racist to their Jewish members and have dealt with complaints regarding anti-semitism appallingly, not in any way an accident either. Corbyn’s Labour has a lot to apologise for to the Jewish community and Corbyn’s insistance on not apologising makes trusting the man harder and harder. The Tories have openly had a long standing issue with islamophobia and Boris Johnson’s response to criticism of it has been quite frankly terrible. He’s essentially doubled down and tried to portray what he has said as something that shouldn’t be offensive. Lib Dems as far as I’m aware have no major scandal other than they’re shit and will probably team up with the Tories anyway. You just can’t vote based on racism which is a sad indictment of our society today. The biggest annoyance outside of that for me is in an age where we have fact checkers to hand (fact checkers, not CCHQ twitter) politicians still can’t be prosecuted for lying to the public. The fact that the Tory party defend their fact checking scandal and portray it as if they weren’t trying to deceive the general public is literally scandalous but fuck all will be done...to anyone. Politics can only work for the people when politicians are finally held accountable, Nick Clegg should be in prison

If Rodgers managed to sign Sterling from City I reckon Gonzo would have a heart attack before the seasons out

The media can suck Howe off as much as they like but it will all end the same imo, midtable failure after some hefty investment. His team conceded 61 goals last season and 70 before. Funnily enough they've only conceded 17 goals this season which so far which would average out to 51 by the end which wouldn't be bad but Howe is yet to prove himself imo

I'm not sure that's really the case for Eddie Howe, Bournemouth spend money and I don't see how he'd be an improvement on Marco Silva personally. Just benefits from being young, English and having the Bournemouth "fairytale" routine. They've won about 2 games out of their last eleven...personally for Howe to be considered that good I'd say he'd need to do a job as similar to Pochettino or Koeman at Saints

You know certain areas of the media have been waiting for Sterling to make a mistake. Especially after he’s been appointed England’s head of racism. Build them up and tear them back down. Some absolute waffle in here comparing a recent 2 time Premier League winner in one of the best sides to ever grace the league to Tottenham Hotspur, a side with no silverware expectation whatsoever. Also as if Spurs haven’t been utter shit this season because of that loss. He’a been a knob, he’s apologised, let it go. Stop following media narratives that they try to create about him.

I’ll be honest 85 pages long @Storts I’ll be waiting for the tl;dr version, could only get so many pages in there I’m currently in further education on an access course to eventually study Psychology (or similar, interested in social work) at Uni. I left school with 1 GCSE in which I had to stick around for an extra year to resit. Managed to get a diploma in something ICT based that year but also failed the two other subjects they sat me in. Fair to say I rarely attended. Educationally school was not a good place for me, I’m half deaf and was fitted with a hearing aid at about 5/6 years old. Concentration has always been a difficulty for me and the older I get, the more reading I do the more I feel like I belong somewhere on the Autism spectrum. That’s not to mention my OCD too. So yeah concentration was a massive issue for me, I failed my year 3 SATS and was about 2-3 years behind my age group. Between years 4-6 I was fairly extensively put in the special needs classes where they managed to bring me up to standard in time for the year 6 SATS. Unfortunately it all went downhill from secondary school onwards. I was in a class with a designated class “helper”, the person there to help the kids with special needs...or as you were less affectionately known back then the Soggy Baguettes. We had a special needs set up at the school which I frequented in my early years but by year 9 onwards I was never put in. Partially the schools oversight, partially a 12/13 year old kid trying to avoid being a target. Year 7 and 8 no exams but I was put in set 2 (out of 5) for Science, eventually I’d drop to set 4. Dropped to set 5 for Maths. Set 5 also for English. Failed my SATS miserably, failed my mock GCSE’s, then failed the real ones. A lot of kids throughout school learn the ability to learn, revise, pass exams, work at home, prioritise work and play and work towards goals. I was lost in the classroom size, concentration often disappeared and eventually resorted to type, bit of a clown and didn’t pay attention. The only thing that I learned at school was that I was “stupid”, I learned how to fail exams and stop caring and eventually that’s what happened. Left school, no qualifications, faked them on my CV, got various jobs doing whatever but ironically the type of career I’d like to go into requires a degree so here we are. Ten years after failing the last set of exams I had at school and I’m doing what is essentially your A Levels all in one year. Its a shame I never really had the support I needed at secondary as looking back it seemed quite obvious I only succeeded in smaller class rooms with more one on one learning. My concentration issues seemed to be deemed as lazy more than anything and I like many others, especially deaf children who are statistically less likely to do as well as full hearing children, fell through the educational system. I won’t lie the work ethic isn’t quite there yet as it’s an adjustment going from only knowing how to fail in education, to a decade of work and travel and the back to school as I’m pushing 30 but the material seems understandable. Smart kids being perceived as stupid or not having their educational needs met is fairly important to me so if that document goes onto help future kids who’d otherwise go down the same road I did then there’s another reason for me to vote Labour. Thanks for attending my TedTalk and apologies @Storts for hijacking your moment, good stuff and well done

Josh Dasilva, 4 goals for us since signing and all have been long range beauties. Technical powerhouse, what a midfielder

Undercard was meant to be decent enough, watched the highlights and it was just them going for a KO Logan Paul complained that he sneezed three times the morning of the fight

Lost her battle to cancer

Tories will probably win again unfortunately

When I went it was pretty much families and a fair amount of people come in from the south east. Complete contrast to the element of support England away can attract

Delph is a utility player, is experienced and has won league titles. Not every choice needs to be on form...Delph and Grealish for example would not be competing for the same spot Expect to see the below line up, I’d like to see Maddison in there. Mount as well but tbh I’m not sure he’s done enough to warrant a start and Henderson and Winks provide defensive cover that we’ll probably need Pickford Trippier - Stones - Maguire - Chilwell Barkley - Henderson - Winks Sancho - Kane - Sterling

No Kyle Walker again? What crack is Southgate smoking?
