It's hard to believe England are still playing seemingly meaningless internationals, can't they just let the players have a well deserved break from football. They are not friendly games, it's the nations league. All the other countries are playing them, perhaps you could tell Southgate to withdraw from the competition. Where did I suggest they were friendly games or we shouldn't play them, I just can't understand the need for these internationals this summer when the new season starts early due to the World Cup.

I have spent a lot of time in Hamburg. It must be me talking to the wrong people, but most don’t speak a word of English in my experience. Quite right to, I am a believer that you should be able to communicate in the native tongue where ever you are. I don’t mean fluent. Just enough to be able to communicate. Laziness in my opinion. Agreed but i don’t know how long you spent there, my experience was that most wouldn’t engage in English until they got to know me but then there was no stopping them. I got to speak the language to a good degree and made money out of translating from German to Polish and, at last, my Polish earned me some money. I seem to pick up languages quickly , in comparison to others but then, i like to get involved in different cultures. I had a hard time in getting to speak German after i got to know those i worked with as they wanted to hone their English. I also found that they seem to learn more than just English. Damn it, how i wish things were different and i could have stayed Agree 100% . It’s a pet hate of mine that as I am English, you assume everyone must speak English. My German is crap, but I try and it seems to work. I go to Spain on holiday, and make an effort to speak Spanish as much as I can. I’m told that I am really good (don’t believe it for one moment) but no where near fluent. My job has taken me to Sweden too, and to be fair that’s impossible, but you try and that’s why you are respected. It’s good to give it a go even if it’s crap. Just my opinion

Just my opinion I totally agree and have always bought the small dictionaries and learned certain, very basic phrases. I can pick up languages fairly quickly but writing them is another thing. I tried writing a romantic letter to a German woman, she phoned me and was laughing but i tried and i did end up with her. I’m still gutted things panned out as they did as i definitely would have stayed there if there had been someone else who stepped up, to care for my parents

Agreed, they are glorified friendly games. You can tell by the rotation going on. Those at the top level already moan about playing too many games, and they slap a pointless comp in just before the World Cup.

Tell myself every time don t fall in love with players metaphorically speaking, they are not fans this is a job for them to do until they re 35.

He might have already signed an extension. The club have been very particular on how they reveal signings using suspense, especially the media team.

Strange how we have heard nothing about both Nicholson or Evans. If they were heading elsewhere you would have expected them to want to sort something out quite quickly

UTG🍺 If I were to imbibe I'd normally go with a local craft beer even though I'm convinced it's a fad (the craft beer thing, not the drinking thing). Loads of local breweries 'round here, Funky Buddha being really close (geographically speaking) to me. Their Hop Gun will do the trick for sure. Cant' find Thatcher's anymore and I really miss a good cider. If I were back home now I'd definitely put in a visit to the Coronation Tap in Clifton and get on the Exhibition cider. Ahhh, happy days. Anyway... any news on Antony Evans? UTG!

The silence is good I think ... way more professional almost clinical - We will tell you when we are ready and not Starnes blathering his usual nonsense or Widdrington leaking little snippets here and there. I think Nicholson is long gone and we can replace comfortably - Evans though I have still have some hope as I do for Luke Thomas / Connor Taylor / James Connolly returning as well. - only hope though nothing to back it up.

What the f**k does this have to do with Evans ? Surely you have been here long enough to know most topic veer from one thing to another. As for Evans, someone has said that JB said he would give him 8-10 days to make his mind up. I have seen no videos or club statements to back that up though. I am guessing that negotiations are ongoing and that ANY decent player would want to explore their options but i will add that if he doesn’t want to stay after the season we just had, he never will. Unfortunately it does come down to money and location but also any ambitious player would surely want to ply their trade at the highest level possible, it is a big gamble and they could end up warming the bench or stuck if a development squad. I’d love him to say but only if he feels a passion to stay. We have had to learn n the hardest of ways, that having mercenary types does not do us any favours. You're right Polish Bro - Just want to hear he has signed
