Today I learnt that the famous clip of Watford v Leicester where Knockeart dives for the pen, misses and then Watford go and score. Well, Kane was on field for Leicester. Obviously knew he played for them, didn't realise he was on the pitch for that. Fascinating stuff.
He's in.
This all seems to have happened very quickly. The bigwigs must have been very spooked by that game the other night. Klopp-lite, always seemed a bit of a chancer.
From what I remember, his Chelsea formation should suit England. Just need to get chilwell on the inhalers to play that hybrid wing back /wing forward role him and alonso had nailed.
I'm a twit
Tommy Tickle is a fantastic coach. England unfortunately needs a fantastic manager.
Atleast this way we see if there was any truth in Southgate claiming that he tells the players to attack and they just don't listen. Because if the same happens under Tuchel it's a fairly safe bet that it really is the players.
At least Carsley still be ready at that point.
I’m not sure you could find someone that will piss off both the national press and the people at the FA more. This will be an incredibly funny disaster even if he wins the World Cup.
2 world wars and 2 world cups.
Hednesford Town have knocked Gateshead out of the FA Cup. I blame them announcing the new boss before the game.
Much better record in cups than leagues, donned Josep Guardiola senseless in the 2021 final. I'm backing him. Either way, it's been too long since England had an interesting manager. Last one probably Sven, if you don't count Large Sam.Originally Posted by Manc
Tuchel is arguably more negative than Southgate lol
Yep, can't see any other explanation that makes sense. As you say I'd have rather had the other German, but at least we've avoided any of the English wank we could have appointed and if he's shit we can just sack him without any of that project building wank getting in the way that afforded Southgate two tournaments too many.
That and Southgate getting as far as he did has heightened the stakes. They wouldn't chance this if England weren't on the precipice of winning something. It's not on the level of chasing Scolari, but I'm getting those vibes.
I think this is a great appointment. We should have got 'Rafa' when Liverpool first sacked him for the same reasons.
Nice to hear the mongs out in their droves ringing talksport to either ponder why Pep hasn’t got the job, or complain that he’s not English while conveniently forgetting about Sven and Capello (and presumably Guardiola). Just admit you hate Germans cos of the war, lads.

I have to say I would love the seethe if he wins us something, it’s perfect.
I have to say I'm a bit surprised by the reaction, particularly on the back page of the Mail. We've already had Sven and Capello, what's any different?
We both know the answer to that.
Safety wink in case of woosh.
It’s ridiculous frankly and it’s making me get behind him even more. Where’s my Nations League wall planner?
Fully bald come USA 2026.
Does Carsley get the last two nations league games?
I'd hardly been paying attention assuming we were going to cruise Nations League B Group 3 or whatever we're in, so imagine my surprise when I looked at the table and we're right up against it and have to win in Greece to go back to league A. Quite up for a proper England away tie actually, let's make it mean something, blue smoke everywhere, hordes of nasty forrin fans with megaphones, flaming motorbikes flying off the stand, bring it on.
It's done, he's been appointed. I think he'll do really well.
Takes over in January.
I feel for England that he's about the best they could have done. Of course there may be better managers out there, but the we want Guardiola/Klopp brigade are daft if they genuinely thought that would ever happen.
Mourinho would have been interesting to see what Tournament Football he could produce, but I don't see how they could have got better than Tuchel really.
Mourinho would have been a good move a few years ago when the team was a lot worse and he was still a proper manager
Guardiola was a fantasy. Really it's a great coup from the FA to convince Tuchel. I just hope we make it to USA in one piece before he goes scorched earth on the board.
Contract was signed a week ago apparently, which somewhat explains Carsley being a weirdo.
Can we have Carsley back now?
Once we've finished hanging him for treason, yes you can.
I see the Daily Mail have nailed it this morning.
You'd think the Rothermeres would be well up for getting behind the controversial German.
Would love to know the full list.Asked about the hiring process, Bullingham said the FA "interviewed approximately 10 people" which included "some English candidates within that".
Curbishley
Bruce
Pardew
Warnock
Gerrard

Tier 1 source.
Sounds like Mbappé is about to get the Assange treatment from the Swedish Authorities, so the World Cup is very much on.
Tommy T spitting facts.
Tonight will tell a lot. Shels have been playing that shite they might not finish in the top 4.
In my head I have no distinction between Shelbourne, St Pats and Shamrock Rovers. All start with S and play in red. Is one of them posh? Give me the lowdown.
Rovers play in a Celtic type shirt, not a hint of red.
Rovers and Shelbourne used to be from the same area of Dublin long ago but have long relocated since, rovers more than most. Still called the Ringsend derby even though they're on opposite ends of the city now. Not rivals really, Pats and Shels is pure hatred, stems from the early 2000's.
All working class clubs too. Bohemians are the hipster lot.
Stephen Kenny has done some job with Pats though, they were nowhere. Duff has done probably a better job with Shels too seeing as they've a mid table squad, even though they've gone to shit lately. He's such an odd cunt he's class.
Didn't Paqueta get done for betting on himself getting booked a few years ago? Thought he was die a lengthy ban...?
His hearing is supposedly this month. He was getting pissy on Twitter the other day that people keep talking about it.
Son playing like when Kane was around.
I'm a twit
Can’t wait for David Moyes to be parachuted back in.
The West Ham title bid in another shocking setback.
Kudus has got away with that. Booted van Der Men twice then raised hands against a other two players. How has VAR missed it?
Oh, VAR is still looking.
Kudus, lol.
