I thought the title was suggesting Coach 1 was lost. Try looking under the sofa, etc

I’m no fan of Mount either, just pointing out he earned us a pen. Although I thought the fluidity of our attacking midfield three (which inc him) v Iran was good.  He needs to do more overall though.  You can see why Saka, Rashford and Foden have moved ahead of him though.

Can someone explain to me what Mount is for? Lots rave about him. I just don't see it.

We seem to be in the same sort of situation as Man City are with the Champions league. 

France are like Real Madrid. They just somehow find a way to win. 

England are like City in the Champions league, always just falling short. 

Shit, when did we qualify for the Champions League?

This sort of reminds me of when Brazil played Germany in 2014...

I find this Brazilian team much more unlikeable than previous Brazils. Mainly because of Neymar I guess

Yeah, but Casemiro is a fine player

Because there’s more of us that makes us more passionate does it .

does my head in this love in with other nations fans , 

Your lack of decent grammar does my head in, but that's another issue.

Why shouldn't we respect the passion and different ways of expressing support shown by other nations? Who says our way is the best?

Chemicals, plastics, that sort of thing. Wholesome stuff. Look up "Ineos".

Big fan of Brexit.

Would be interested to understand what part of it constituted a breach of contract? 
Is it written into a player contract that they can’t speak negatively about the manager, or about ex players, or about club infrastructure? 
Particularly when that manager or ex players have been publically critical of him already. 

Most employment contracts include clauses about not doing something to damage the image of your employer.

An English chap with a few shillings. Think he owns Nice and a Swiss club also but could be wrong.

Yup, Nice, Ineos-Grenadiers cycling team (Used to be Team Sky) and others. 

Made his money from global warming.

Sure Jim Ratcliffe will be back in with an offer.  Shame, as I was hoping he may fancy buying City!

Ratcliffe is a monumental tool, his company's ethics are vile and everything he's touched in sport has turned to

As a long time follower of his work I recommend him as an antidote to taking football too seriously. Though he often satirises serious issues too.

The comments are often very funny too.

100%, it's a bit like Private Eye, you have to get used to the 'in' jokes.

The comments (if they're enabled) are usually absolute gold. Football puns particularly often hilarious.

Hernandez (22) has been superb

Great save

Paul Pogba, who is missing from the French squad, was once kept very quiet by ex-City player Marlon Pack. Bailey Wright played in that game. 

Piece of piss this connections game.

On the football...Mbappe really can't finish his dinner tonight can he.

Oops

Magnificent clearance

Personally I’d have put him on gardening leave for 7 months.  He’s got his wish.
