Is the break over yet? Seeing this shit happen on breaks (even if he's in the Saudi League) pisses me off

 

[USspur]

Can't stand these, but we needed this holy cow

 

[USspur]

side note: We have had more international breaks this season than before or it just feels like that?

I'm not sure pal, but they're dificult when Spurs are good I remember it from the Poch days... being pissed that half our squad was playing plumbers from Estonia while the rest of the Prem rested for 2 weeks...!

 

[Glenjamin]

Strange this really.

During last one we had so much momentum we didn't want the break...

Now we do!

Aaahhhh football.

 

[spurious]

Yeah, back when it mattered (to me at least),I remember actually hoping for an injury during the off-season. Cuz, you know, then it won't happen when it counts, right?

Nice Irish feel to the England set up these days. Not only have you Rice & Grealish but now Carsley. It's getting like the 90's when the Irish dressing room was full of Londeners, Scousers, and Geordies.
Niall Quinn told a great one about Italia 90.
We'd just been beaten by Italy in the Quarter Finals. The players are in the dressing room, heads down, you could hear a pin drop. Then the doors open and there's the Taoiseach (Prime Minister),Charlie Haughey. All the Irish lads look in amazement. He then made this incredible speech, hairs standing on the back of your neck job. He finishes....dead silence....then Tony Cascarino pipes up and says " WHO THE FUCK'S THAT ??"
Quinny turns to him and says half embarrassed " That's the Taoiseach". Andy Townsend turns to Cas and says " Who is he ?...and Cas says "Quinny says he owns a tea shop".

Good Times.
