The Poolie Bunker

Is it time to cut back on the amount of games players are made to play.
Players surely must be tired and then are thrown into more meaningless matches for the club world cup.
Then thats no sooner over and for the big clubs its flying round the world for friendlies.
Surely the players union should say enough is enough.

Over paid, underworked arseholes...... I would close my curtains if they were playing in my back garden........How the fuck can these prima donnas be tired??? The working man works a lot harder than these arseholes, they are treat like kings, so I dont buy this tired shite..........Fuck the lot of them

They tired because they run around on a pitch foran average of 50 minutes, by the time you put all the stopped, subs and set pieces plays into effect.

However, I'm with you. They don't know what what really hard work is

Trouble is, they live in a bubble cosseted by the sport and ‘meeeeja’ who bull them up so much, the players end up believing it.

Friendlies are stupid. Football is only watchable and relevant when it means something.

think everyone needs a break whether its from work or a hobby. even as fans i,d guess most wer glad when the last few seasons at pools ended which will be the same at most clubs who needed there break.

Springwatch was good.

there are more than one way to get tired. you do not have to have an old school manual pick wealding job to be knackered. used to get the same off an ex wife who said i should not be tired because i was sat down all day driving a bus. one of my best mates worked down the pit before he bacame a pro footballer but admitted both were tiring but the football lifestyle made up for it. todays stars have only known football and can only base tiredness on that.

Some days, when I got back from a days bricklaying I’d be totally fucked! Could barely stand up and had to crash on the sofa before tea. I’d be physically worn out and my brain would be mush, usually because of wind or cold but sometimes by working in dangerous conditions.

I watched the last 20 minutes last night. It was obvious that the English players weren’t that bothered so why even play the game?

Money?

your last sentance summed it all up. money both for the players and the FA. players can be bang average intenationals now and obtain well over 10 cap. more than many really good players got like frank worthington. too much football especially of the international kind but we all kno what brings the cash flowing in.

We haven't a hope of winning next years world cup. The Euros in 2028 is in England, so home advantage might help us, but no doubt we will be knocked out in the semi's or beaten in the final again. I am now resigned to us never winning a major tournament in my lifetime!!!

People will watch anything.

Were you born in 1966 poolie1966 ?

A world cup Baby, Never met one.

I put T20 on after Kane's goal when they were passing backwards and forwards in front of goal instead of trying to run up the pitch and play football.
I got to see an England win

doomwatch on the bunker is even better.

Yes I was, but in October, we won the world cup in July, so we have never won anything in my lifetime.

I want to join the Garden Rescue team so I can eradicate there mistakes at half the price.

The useless greedy bastads.

Yeah, but the bastards cancelled it after only three months...

Soon be Autumn Watch.
Bottom 4 and non entry in the FA Cup for 3 years in a row.
But only 7 pts behind the play offs with Lennie saying let's get these tough December fixtures out of the way against Truro n AFC Halifax.

Then we fly up the table.

The chicks fledged.

I was there at Wembley in July in 1966. And in 1923 I was actually the White Horse. Still have nightmares about it.
