Well at least it will put paid to the tired old “well they’ve never let me down” statements from the manager.

I agree she is our problem and she should be returned. Unfortunately, the UK struggle to enforce similar rules that call for deportations of serious foreign criminals who then become a UK problem too, so there is little appetite to make it easy.

England played really well and actually moved the ball with a bit of pace and purpose, which is all you can ask. It doesn't matter that Iran were mostly garbage. Let's hope they learn from the success and keep playing at a decent tempo against the better teams.

Re: Everton fans
There is a very real risk Dwight will be broken by Everton and not recover. Always appeared a little bit fragile to me. Chasing the money is not always the best strategy in the long run. Hope he survives but could see him tumble through the leagues if his confidence is crushed.

Lol, you're desperate for an argument. All I've said is race and gender will have been a factor in moving Lawrenson on. "Addressing the historic unbalance" as you describe it amounts to exactly the same thing. I think we're on the wrong thread anyway so I'll leave you to it. Enjoy.
