• Why? We won the war you know. We’ve had a number of ‘foreign’ managers. Just look at the premiership. He’s the best available by far. (NT) -- CB, Tuesday, October 15, 07:48:33pm (213-18-176-111.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.111)
  • Okay. You've done me. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Tuesday, October 15, 08:00:10pm (77-44-8-130.xdsl.business-dsl.co.uk/77.44.8.130)
  • It’s the england job, he didn’t have to be available. It’s just the fa taking the cheap option again. (NT) -- Hg, Tuesday, October 15, 09:06:48pm (cpc141402-brnt4-2-0-cust971.4-2.cable.virginm.net/86.9.199.204)
    • So why didn’t they capture Eddie Howe? He was the best by far and not under contract (NT) -- CB, Tuesday, October 15, 09:16:32pm (213-18-176-111.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.111)
      • Best by far? You know pep has expressed an interest for the job don’t you? Klopp was also available last month, so I’m not sure how Tuchel would get anywhere near a conversation of best managers. (NT) -- Hg, Tuesday, October 15, 10:15:57pm (cpc141402-brnt4-2-0-cust971.4-2.cable.virginm.net/86.9.199.204)
        • Klopp has taken a far easier job, can’t have been interested. Also Pep was paper talk as he has only a year to go on contract. Fact is neither were interested enough. Any other better available names with his track record. Just being realistic here. (NT) -- CB, Tuesday, October 15, 10:54:03pm (213-18-176-111.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.111)
          • Again with the available comment, do you work for the fa? The manager didn’t have to be available, the fa could have payed their club compensation. It wasn’t that long ago the fa used to pay to get the best man for the job, and now they just go for the cheap option. I’m looking forwards to seeing who they interviewed for the job, or do you reckon they did what they did with Southgate and just gave it to the first freebie that came knocking. (NT) -- Hg, Tuesday, October 15, 11:49:45pm (cpc141402-brnt4-2-0-cust971.4-2.cable.virginm.net/86.9.199.204)
            • When did FA pay to get the best coach?! Maybe Sven .You say, do you work for the FA, then tell us Pep was interested, based on a ‘I don’t know’ answer in an Italian interview and clearly klopp didn’t want to manage or he wouldn’t have taken a cushty back room role. Howe ok a case for, but what’s he won? Tuchel manages elite players and won trophies, particularly strong at knock out football, slightly risky move, but shows FA want to win and not just have a vanilla Southgate mark 2.

              • Time will tell, when they release the list of managers that were interviewed for the job, I still believe it was the cheap option that they went for (NT) -- Hg, Wednesday, October 16, 11:53:03am (NoHost/31.94.36.123)
                • What list? Is that a requirement? The cheap option was carsley or someone internal, not someone on 5m plus all his coaches. An interview list means nothing anyway, hi pep/jurgen, fancy coming in for a chat about the Englsnd job, no, oh ok. Would tbey be on thr list? Surely klopp/pep/howe are all under contract so unless employer approves you can’t interview them anyway. (NT) -- Henry1879, Wednesday, October 16, 01:29:43pm (croy-26-b2-v4wan-167127-cust1611.vm24.cable.virginm.net/82.38.22.76)
                  • The fa have already stated they have interviewed numerous candidates. And I’m guessing you didn’t know but Southgate was on 5 million a year plus, and he was already the cheap internal option. Plus with managers, clubs generally let managers talk to other teams, hence how silva spoke with Man U whilst still under contract. (NT) -- Hg, Wednesday, October 16, 01:46:51pm (NoHost/31.94.36.123)
                    • FA need someone mid season, different to a team letting them speak to move at the end of the season, can barely remember a manager breaking contract mid season if someone isn’t sacked. Cheap option was carsley/another internal, less money, fewer demands, irrelevant what Southgate earns. So what constitutes an interview? If I ring pep and ask, you interested, does that count? Because they said more were interested than others so, clearly some of them it would have been pointless to interview.

                      • A Fulham fan and you can barely remember an England manager taking over mid season? Were you not around for the keegan years. Took over England in February and managed us both. Plus we needed a manager before the season started but the fa dragged their heels.

• The year was 1950. Hammersmithender awoke from a long slumber. It was now 2024 and he was forever lost in a rose-tinted world of fish and chips, George and Mildred, the milkman, long wave radio, gramophones on 78, morris dancing and over cooked two veg and meat. (NT) -- Freddy Engels, Wednesday, October 16, 01:47:29am (NoHost/63.70.5.32)
  • Sounds pretty good apart from George and Mildred and the overcooked meal. (NT) -- Mary Hopkins, Wednesday, October 16, 08:49:46am (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
    • I would keep George and Mildred, but ditch the Morris dancing. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Wednesday, October 16, 09:32:44am (NoHost/31.94.74.108)
      • Old school English but as you say fairly naff.Can’t agree on George and Mildred though. (NT) -- Sweet Baby James, Wednesday, October 16, 01:45:36pm (NoHost/31.94.14.250)
        • Apart from 'Rising Damp', I can't remember any sit com on ITV that i found consistently funny. Could be my memory's poor, but 'Bless This House', 'G&M', 'On the Buses', 'Robin's Nest', even 'Please Sir' were patchy at best, or totally unfunny in my opinion. Compare them to 'The Likely Lads', Steptoe & Son, 'Til Death us do Part', 'Sykes', Life and Times of Reginald Perin'.

  • I am beaten to a pulp. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Wednesday, October 16, 08:55:00am (193-117-182-208.virtual1.co.uk/193.117.182.208)
