I have a feeling that history will judge Steve Clarke better than many of the judgements displayed after the disappointment of the World Cup. He took Scotland to three major tournaments with a bang average group of players. Scotland overachieved during his era in charge.
FULL TIME: Scotland 0-3 Switzerland. Defeat in Glasgow this evening. #SCOSUI

Mientras Diego Pablo Simeone esté en el banquillo, el Atlético de Madrid seguirá compitiendo al máximo todos los años. La mayor figura de la historia del club. Palabras mayores.

There are so many good elements of football lost now. Watching this game its literally pass, pass, pass, lose ball, pass pass pass, lose ball. No one runs with it, no tackles, no long shots. Its like two cloned sides playing exactly the same. Boring as fuck

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that if you fly into Britain they make you go through customs and show you passport, but if you arrive by a small boat illegally, they give you free housing.

I refuse to sit back and watch as our country, our home, further descends into some third world hellhole. I am absolutely sick of it.

GENERATIONALLL. Do not doubt it. ERLING HAALAND IS A GENERATIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER. A level of pure goalscoring that we will likely not see again with another striker in our lifetimes.

Scotland's Biggest Problem Wasn't Steve Clarke🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Interesting chat with @DeclanFergus discussing why the Scotland manager isn't the main issue. Do Scotland simply lack players with genuine superstar attributes? And what needs to change if we're going to compete consistently at major tournaments? Full chat 👇

Terrible performance from Portugal. Were they not allowed to play forward? What’s with all the sideways and backwards passes. Pointless possession. Hate it. Such a lack of creativity and just a flat performance

Before Ferguson. Manchester United were in crisis, battling relegation and even relegated 10 years before he took over. Manchester United were like Current Nottingham Forest when Ferguson took over and I can say it was even worse that time than Forest now. He came in, destroyed the toxic Bozzed culture, did a ruthless clear out squad and even sold his one favourite player. The club didn’t have a lot of money that time so he revolutionised the youth academy that brought in the class of 92. He built one of the most scariest team in the world that everyone were afraid of facing them. He made the premier league the best league in the world. He’s the reason why premier league is like this now. Prime Jose and Wenger came and he was still dominating. And this is Pep who has never built a team from it struggling era, When he took Barcelona, Barca had Valdez, Puyol, Abidal , Sylvino, Xavi, Iniesta,Toure, Messi, Etoo, Henry already. He added Pique and promoted Busquets. At Bayern, he didn’t do anything special, at Manchester City, the club had 2 premier league titles and runner up twice, 2 EFLs, 1 fa cup and 1 runner up, and 1 community shield with 1 runner up in 5 seasons before his take over. Which is 4 major trophies in 5 seasons before his take over. The team was top 2 best teams in the league already and they were UCL semi finalists a season before he took over. Man City had Vincent Company, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Fernando, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Navas, Aguero, Sterling, Nicolas Otamendi, Joe Hart and other top players when he came in. So yes City was dominating already and needed someone that will lock everything up well and yes that’s Pep who can do that in that era. When he came in, his competitor were Klopp, and later Arteta who’re nowhere near Prime Wenger Arsenal, Liverpool and Jose’s Chelsea. I’m yet to mention what Ferguson did at Aberdeen as well, Never ever mention the two in the same sentence again!!!

I’ve been called racist and islamophobic hundreds of times today for outlining Restore Britain’s policy on banning halal slaughter, the burqa, sharia law, cousin marriage and plenty more. I want to be really clear about our party’s official response. We do not give a shit.
