England

England into the Nations Cup Semi Final's 😃
Brilliant result but didn't look likely until a great double substitution near the end bringing on Lingard and Sancho.
Bright start but we couldn't take the chances, and almost inevitable that Croatia would snatch the lead.
Dier and Walker still looking like liabilities and not really sure how Delph gets in the team?
Lingard didn't do much, just scored and cleared one off the line 😉
Sancho doesn't seem phased with anything at the moment and stepped right in and caused Croatia more problems at a time we were struggling.
Nice goal and a assist from Kane who didn't have the best of games but came alive at the vital moments.
At the end it's the result that matters and I'll take this 😀

Not So Pointless

Well I was wrong 😀
After a dodgy start in the Nations League, we suddenly have a chance of winning the group and going to a Semi Final against Portugal and France/Holland and Belgium/Switzerland in Portugal next year.
Thanks to Croatia's last minute winner against Spain we now have the chance to either win, stay or get relegated from the top league in Europe.
Hopefully we can avenge the World Cup defeat and grab a bit of glory?

Watched the USA friendly and thought we looked really good, even if it was against pretty poor opposition.
I think Rooney did very well when he came on and think it's a shame he wasted the last 2 years under Mourinho and Allardyce as he could of still have been a viable candidate for a place.
From what I've seen he's been playing really well for DC in the States.

So fingers crossed for this afternoon, it doesn't look like it's on the box but should be available on the net somewhere.

Premier Predictions (Week 12)

Week 12, the last week before yet another International break.
England have to play Rooney's America and Croatia in the pointless cup.
In the Premier league it's 6 games on Saturday and 4 on Remembrance Sunday.
Big game is the Manc derby where City would love to keep up their 6 goals a game record, but will pray they don't lose at home as they did last season.
The other games all look straightforward but surprises happen every week 😃

Cardiff v Brighton
Huddersfield v West Ham
Leicester v Burnley
Newcastle v Bournemouth
Southampton v Watford
Crystal Palace v Tottenham

Liverpool v Fulham
Chelsea v Everton
Arsenal v Wolves
Man City v Man Utd

Good Luck All 😊
The season will finally get going after the break, with no more Internationals until March 👏

Premier Predictions (Week 11)

7 Games on Saturday from 12:30 till 19:45, 2 games on Sunday and the relegation battle at Huddersfield on Monday.
Arsenal v Liverpool probably the big game of the weekend, although the rest all have interesting sub plots.
The Hammers v Burnley brings up bad memories of last season especially after the latest pitch incident :(

Bournemouth v Man Utd
Cardiff v Leicester
Everton v Brighton
Newcastle v Watford
West Ham v Burnley
Arsenal v Liverpool
Wolves v Tottenham

Man City v Southampton
Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Huddersfield v Fulham

Good Luck All :)

Sad

Really sad news that the helicopter carrying the Leicester owner crashed last night 😢
Unlike a lot of football chairman he seems to have been a really popular figure supporting local charities and hospitals as well as the team, and certainly brought them success since taking over in 2010.
I'm not sure of the full story at this time, but like any family members and Leicester supporters I'm deeply saddened about this tragedy 😢

Premier Predictions (Week 10)

Week 10, into the second quarter of the season already.
6 Games on Saturday, 3 on Sunday and one on Monday.
Top game should be Tottenham v league leaders Man City who were pretty awesome in midweek.

Brighton v Wolves
Fulham v Bournemouth
Liverpool v Cardiff
Southampton v Newcastle
Watford v Huddersfield
Leicester v West Ham
Burnley v Chelsea
Crystal Palace v Arsenal
Man Utd v Everton
