Because owners want immediate guaranteed success so the clubs that can afford to challenge for silverware believe the foreign is best and buy already successful mantra

There is a lot of snobbery attached to this cemetery business. Here we have had incomer middle class town councillors ordering local families not to decorate graves in certain ways. Proper class wars. My sympathies have been with the local families, who I think should be allowed to show their grief as they wish, rather than as I would show (or conceal) mine.

The question when it comes to England and managers is why no English manager has won the League for 34 years, the FA Cup for 18 years or a major European trophy in 42 years.

Spit, tbf there's only one guy on here who goes on and on about sacking JJ knee-jerk prem wannabe :)

Spit nobody will deny the 2nd best WC finishing place ever is a reason to sack. There is however the case of laying down to be walked over, once we scored, when the evidence to the contrary was to have an attacking mentality to keep them on the back-foot. Not sure however if its a good thing or not, but the opposition and the history surrounding this, made it one of those fixtures that regardless what happened it was a chest puffed out fixture just like Germany where you just don't bow down to them. IT has extra imputus to other fixtures...

I'm Tuchel in, the players immediately fell into defensive mode. I'm cemetery agnostic, I do not understand why floral tributes are ever left cellophane wrapped anywhere, take it off and the flowers will compost themselves at the site or elsewhere. I can see the arguments for some plastic plants and toys but whilst 6MDM obviously takes care of the grave regularly and seriously, many do not.

Tuchel took England to there highest place 3rd in the world cup since 1966, . Dont think that's worth the sack,

Our lack of goals worries me especially with a load of forwards out so the bet we can hope for is a 1-1 draw

There remains to my mind a wider issue within the DNA of English football. We lack midfielders with the football intelligence to dominate games and control possession, in the way for example Rodri does. There is no doubt we have some great players, but without that missing piece we will always struggle against the very best teams.

Yeah Tuchel has to go. What is the point of him if he is just going to be Southgate II?

Can see why this place is the home of Wu, I agree with every word said by Wu on the Tuchel management post below

The performance after we scored against Argentina was diabolical, nothing to do with dark arts and everything to do with Tuchel. I don’t think we were good enough to beat Spain regardless, but it was an abject failure of management by Tuchel.

I'm Tuchell in. Argentina played the dark arts and won. I loved our third place playoff against France.

Six million, maybe OI can have a word with his favourite local MP.

Tuchel out. I stand by my opinion formed at 65 mins into the World Cup semi final. Today’s PR push changes nothing. He regrets not eating grass from the pitch at the Azteca and he feels like the players are his now. That’s dinosaur leadership.

I make a weekly visit to Kingston Cemetery to look after a grave. I've done this for over 14 years without fail (only COVID stopped me because it was closed). Today there were notices around the cemetery banning amongst other things, plastic flowers, ornaments, plant pots and windmills. No prior warning of this. I hold the Deed of Grant for the Exclusive Right of Burial to this grave, so my details will be on file. I don't live in the borough so, like many other visitors, will only find out about this new rule when they arrive. It transpires some tree hugging, yogurt knitting, sandal wearing, muesli eater is behind this and because they raised a petition to ban anything that doesn't fit their anti-plastic view of the world, and got over a 1,000 signatures from other deluded individuals, the cemetery are forced to act on it. Pathetic. I can only assume they have no loved ones buried there or place the feelings of the grieving behind a few insects or the plethora of birds not having their habitat disturbed so they can shit on the headstones as they currently do. Are they going to tell the mother of a recently deceased child that she can't put a toy or a plastic windmill next to their child's headstone? No, leave that to someone else. This country could sink to the bottom of the ocean tomorrow and it would make a negligible ecological impact given what goes on in China and America (the latter of whom have just lifted the limits on carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions for coal and gas-fired power plants). Hopefully, the Council throw this motion out when it goes to their full committee. Incidentally. I don't leave any plastic flowers or ornaments anymore because somebody looking after a nearby grave kept removing them and putting them on their grave (yes, they were that stupid to think I wouldn't notice), so all I have is a well maintained shrub. However, not everyone will be able to do this.

“It was the first time United had led at home by two goals and lost since they were beaten 3-2 by Tottenham in 1976, half a century ago.” (BBC)
