It's a bit depressing watching these nations matches, it's just friendlies, but they're never ending, and after a hell of a long season for players around the world, and after this they'll be getting back into the season and straight into a world cup, then back into the season again and no doubt playing catch up.
I was a bit optimistic with my early assessment of the game - it slipped into tedious mediocrity after I typed that up there about a good match! Completely pointless games at a time where none of the players want to be playing.
Ooft, this is a bit of a kicking for England!
Provided a hearty chuckle in this house.
Crikey! Almost as bad as Scotland v Ireland the other day.

Not if you're Irish.
True! But we showed, er, Armenia a thing or four tonight!
Back to the ‘proper’ football I see that as Citeh, Liverpool and other big squads strengthen further for the upcoming season, we’re presently being linked with pretty much everybody but haven’t actually signed anyone

I expect that, as usual, we’ll sign none of the big names we’re being linked with and hugely overpay for a selection of over-rated donkeys at the eleventh hour 🙄
Tevez is available again?
As a Derby fan we dream of having any sort of squad! We'll be dragging fat blokes off the Sunday league pitches if we survive! 🙂

That would certainly fit in with our preferred age range for forwards

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Glazers weren’t presently scouting the pub sides of Salford
Is Ibrahimovic available this summer, he knows ManU and would fit in well with Ronaldo up front!
Meanwhile Leeds have signed a couple of players and are about to add a third - certainly a departure from the Bielsa days. Hopefully we'll sell Raphinha and Phillips shortly, be able to strengthen the squad further and avoid another painful season.

I thought Ronaldo was leaving?
The one piece of silver lining for Reading fans is we cannot have another dodgy Russian owner's son at the moment.
I think Ten Hag has said he wants to keep Ronaldo. Nunez chose Liverpool over them, probably lower wages - no way that’ve happened a few years ago. The years of mis-management on and off the pitch are coming home to roost. Love it!
what a cracking goal!!! sheer impudence of it 😀
lionesses running riot
Ah, hadn't found a separate thread and just started one.
So, is Ronaldo leaving or staying? I keep seeing him in pictures in a car being driven somewhere.
Well he wants out but no one wants him at the level he wants to play at, Champions League (or can pay his wages). So ETH has the prospect of a whinging superstar hanging about for a season. Add a reluctant Frenkie de Jong to the mix - if Barca can force him out - it doesn’t bode well for team spirit, does it 😀
Oh dear
How sad
Never mind
