Haaland is a big over grown baby.
A bit like Arteta then?

Bob, it is a well-known fact that England will win sweet FA (see what I did there?) unless there is at least one West Ham player in the team. We know this because history tells us so. Arsenal, Spuds, Man U and other castoffs just wonât cut it, despite Bellinghamâs obvious talent. You just need some Iron in there.
So unless Southgate picks Bowen or JWP, England are going to remain trophyless for the foreseeable future.
Sorry!

There has to be a personal problem with Rashford. I know its a confidence thing but how can he keep blowing from hot to cold

Youâre right @Ravvie but unlike Artita, as least Hasland had something to be upset about. Great game though; Spurs stuck right in there.
Think youâll find the key component is brothers (not for England Women of course) 
Kev I think both Jared and JWP should be in the squad and I totally agree that neither Man U or Spuds players should be.
The referee blue his whistle before the ball was played forward and so had no choice but to call it back. I didnât think it was that great a game at all it was littered with mistakes from both sides and was decidedly average.
The Cheats should have won be three or four due mainly to the Spuds awful defence . The Cheats have drawn three on the bounce conceding 8 goals and The Spuds have 1 point from a possible 16.
It was patently a really poor decision by the referee, and potentially stopped a goal-scoring opportunity. However not nearly as obvious an opportunity as the one Harland himself spurned much earlier in the game; so presumably he would have been happy for his teammates and manager to surround him so aggressively for his mistake? The double standards and hypocrisy from players and managers (that includes you Mr Arteta), is astonishing.

That may (or may not) be fact, but it doesnât alter the fact that it was an awful refereeing mistake. It was a great game from a neutral viewing standpoint, but City should have had it won in the first hour. Pepâs reaction was classy, unlike Artetas embarrassing petulance the other weekâŚ

It was a fantastic game from an Arsenal standpoint.
And NUFC. Only 3 teams in the top 9 won at the weekend. The next month will be frantic, with matches coming thick and fast. One of the few benefits of Christmas. That, and the cheese

Their (and others) behaviour ruins the game imo and both of them should have been shown a card on the field. The lack of respect thatâs shown to officials in football is a disgrace. Thereâs not another code that would get away with this type of sht.
But I guess their behaviour is only a reflection of how a lot of punters carry on. Theyâre quick to blame the ref for their teams poor performance.

Wrong!
Hooper put the whistle to his mouth, then twice waved play on, then blew the whistle after the onside Grealish was clear of the last defender
Shay Given had an interesting take on this one. He wondered whether the ref didnât actually see Grealish due to the 3 spurs players around him so he blew because of that. It would have been interesting to see an angle of his view of the pitch.

This is fine though and Pep saying refs can make him loose his mind is also fine.
So if true thatâs disgraceful and embarrassing isnât it?
