    The first 3 minutes were ok - then downhill after that. Why were England using the Man U third choice keeper? Isn't there anybody better than him?
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      It's a bit unfair to say that Foster is United's third-choice keeper. I don't know who United have on the bench, but Ferguson knows that Foster is better off on loan somewhere than benchwarming. He is playing, has lots to do (as you would at Watford) and is gaining experience.

      So Foster is second best at United rather than third, and apart from Van de Saar, Cech, and possibly Lehman, is probably as good as anyone else in the Premiership.

          Unfair but true - they have VanVan de Saar and that Polish bloke whose name I will not attempt to spell. Foster long term may be the replacement for Van Der Saar, but at this moment in time he is the third choice.

            I see what you mean - he is third choice because they cannot choose him.

              Perhaps we should resign ourselves to the fact that we're a good but not a great team. The technique and creative flair the Latins have is clearly lacking. Nor we have we got the self-belief, mental strength and organisation of the Germans.
              I'm increasingly beginning to think that in spite of his tentative approach to the last WC, over his time in office, Sven got the team as far as they were going to go.

                  You'll be lucky, not with the meeja in this country. Haven't you heard? The EPL is the greatest footballing show on the planet bar none and so it obviously follows on that as a direct consequence the English national team will effortlessly sweep all before them even though they have chosen to appoint a manager with a track record of mediocrity, and have achieved bugger all at international level since the days of black and white telly.

                    The manager has an impossible job. For a start:

                    1. Too many league games
                    2. No mid-season break
                    3. Too many foreigners

                    Exactly like those other perennial under-achievers since black and white television - Spain.

                    Exactly unlike the more recent European world-cup winning sides - Italy, France and Germany, who play less, have a break, and have less foreigners.

                      Yep, but he's only on 1/2 pay now which equates to GBP6,500 per day. Remember, you're paying for that! The only way he stops getting paid by the FA is to wait out his contract or get another job.
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
