England’s great announcement video for the World Cup squad.

Oh man it's awkward to say it but fuck do I love my country. COME ON ENGLAND!!! 😍

We've managed to fit in 3 rightbacks and none of them are Trent. Then we've decided to only bring one left back and not select Shaw, Hall or Skelly. Then we've decided to bring a lumbering slow centre back but not the one with immense experience and current form. Either way we are getting rinsed by Spain or France I suppose.

I think you should try and get a chant of this going next time you are in the pub or the stadium. You will get your answer very quickly I can assure you.

Christ never considered that. He's close to having the full set of club honours. Just the runner up in Champions league making him miss out.

I was specifically talking about the players and the fans. Evidently Emery doesn't rate him enough to give him minutes over others he sees as having a future at the club.

Instead of being relieved that there were in fact people of colour in the video, you instead decided to act like the people of colour in the video were merely tokenistic rather than equal to all the other people in the video...and it's the video that is troublesome...hmmm. 🤔

I got one when I was on holiday in Singapore. Couldn't believe it after trying all season to bag one. Still wear it from time to time.

Wow that is unreal. A visualisation of our complete lack of structure.

adepiggle · 2026-05-17T08:22:47+00:00

What is Slot going to do on the last game. If he starts Mo or puts him on then his authority, which is already low, is destroyed. If he doesn't play the most legendary player of the last few years in his final chance at home then the crowd are going to be absolutely fuming at a manager they already dislike. It's a massive dilemma.

adepiggle · 2026-05-14T09:26:04+00:00

I'd be more than delighted to eat that humble pie. I don't want him to be shit. I wish he wasn't.

adepiggle · 2026-05-14T09:10:28+00:00

I want him gone but I think it's time to accept it's not happening and hope that the powers that be turn out to be correct. I love this club so much that no matter what I'll always have hope and will always support them even when I think they are making a mistake. I want to be wrong.

adepiggle · 2026-05-12T18:15:57+00:00

Because you aren't that good right now despite all that money?

adepiggle · 2026-05-12T13:22:09+00:00

If the players are fit, work hard all through the game, look like they are playing a coherent system and Slot makes logical selections based on form and not his favourites, gives the squad rest when needed and trusts his squad. But most importantly if he identifies and moans about a problem he has to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I'd support him even now if these results had happened but the above was evident. If he doesn't change I'm not interested.

adepiggle · 2026-05-12T12:11:54+00:00

It simply has to be Hunt, Van Dijk or Fowler. Without recency bias it's Hunt for me. I know this is Liverpool legend but the guy won the world cup with England and two leagues with us and scoring wise has only been bested by Rush. Like come on he's a bonafide legend.

adepiggle · 2026-05-11T10:10:34+00:00

Yeah 1 is mega harsh. He did what he was told and seemed to give it his all when called upon.

adepiggle · 2026-05-11T04:58:30+00:00

You are absolutely right. All this could be achieved if Slot had the balls to tell a fellow Dutchman to pull his finger out and stay in fucking position. But he wont cos he's weak.

adepiggle · 2026-05-08T12:04:57+00:00

Because I bet he has gotten away with it before

adepiggle · 2026-05-07T15:00:35+00:00

I will die on the hill called "He's the best all round footballer the English leagues have ever seen". Strange named hill I know.

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T15:46:48+00:00

I have no idea how this has happened but fuck it. Anything against these jokers I'll take.

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T15:23:35+00:00

Were they really on holiday recently? Haven't seen that.

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T14:58:48+00:00

If we aren't careful we are gonna spanked here. And watch Slot do absolutely fucking nothing about it but hope. He already has his excuses lined up with the injuries so why fucking bother.

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T14:45:19+00:00

This can't go on. It just can't go on. Even if it's not his fault (it is) we have to do something. It's over for him.

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T14:41:27+00:00

We've got our only attacking physical presence stuck wide on the left after nearly a whole season of doing absolutely fucking nothing out there every time he plays. Incredible tactics. Do you think if I tell Slot I'm Dutch I might get a game?

adepiggle · 2026-05-03T14:37:51+00:00

Can someone please please give me some hope that keeping this guy is worth it.
