He is, no doubt, still a cunt though

That goes without saying.

My plan, and I'm resolute about it at the minute, is to not watch. But I know how suggestible I am and with no other football on I'm well aware I'll be susceptible to being sucked in.

Like most here I couldn't care less about international football most of the time, but I do succumb to some extent to the hype of a tournament. My hype level at the minute is 0%. Literally zero. But it could change.

I'm so glad I have an ST at a National League club. It's just a shame they're crap at the moment and it's nearly December

12 quid for a can of the worst beer on earth. **** me.

Notice how most people in those pictures are hiding in the shade. It could be a blessing that booze is hard to come by

I don’t intend to watch and I think it’ll be easy enough ignore the group stages since there’s only about 2 games that stand out.

My resilience may be tested once the knock out stages get going.

I hope it’s a really **** tournament.

Same, and as a few others, i'm getting holier about it, i'm just not into international football. But I may watch the odd game, later on but generally don't give a **** about it, much less than the 30% interest it normally holds.

Haha which one? I've been to watch Chesterfield home and away a few times since lockdown revived my interest (when you could pay to watch every game - I watched them in my youth). Good side could go up.

Bromley, my home town club. Been going regularly for 35 years

It's such a good league now. Oldham are the first team that's played in the PL to drop down in to it. Notts County, Wrexham, Chesterfield, Southend, Halifax, Torquay and S****horpe all fighting to get out and only one automatic promotion

Ah of course, I knew that. I hate that cunt Michael Cheek

It's a good league but also **** if you've dropped into it. Some really good clubs but quite a few tinpot clubs and the most appalling officiating I've ever seen. That Dorking ground is like playing at a leisure centre Also only one automatic promotion spot is an absolute joke - but the league clubs will never vote to change it. Turkeys, Christmas etc.

We're hijacking this - should probably shut up now

I guess we now know the real reason Ivan Toney didn't make the England World Cup squad

'Brentford’s Ivan Toney charged over 232 alleged breaches of betting rules'

Can't shut up until I find out why you hate Cheek

He's playing **** at the moment, looks totally lost. Although he scored a peach on Saturday

I was at the home game v Bromley last season when Cheek scored a 96th minute pen to nick a 2-2 draw. He was being a real ****house all game.

I despise Scott Quigley for goading our fans after scoring a winner for Barrow. It was a miserable day and he did this piss taking squeaky laugh all along the main stand. Nasty man is at Rochdale now

Cheek scored a consolation goal

Nowt to do with me, he played for Stockport ...now at Rochdale yeah. Chesterfield have a dire beanpole 'marksman' called Joe Quigley who couldn't hit a barn door from 10 paces.

I reckon ruining the WC thread with lower league crap is perfectly acceptable btw
