You can't trust the English to vote on anything these days and come back with the right answer

Personally I think you can always trust the English.

Seeing how English people voted on the worth and the chances of the English football team on the web (repeatedly), I must say that using 'can't...these days' rather than 'can always' seems like the more reasonable, measured take here...

Consider this: at least once in your life you must have voted for someone or something that didn't win or disagreed with coworkers on how to do a job. So either you trust the 'English' more than you trust yourself or you can't realistically always trust all your fellow citizens.

I, for one, never trust train staff or politicians (on any side) or our football dreamteam of shame iteration after iteration, but I do recognise that the never part is due to some generalisation on my part, despite being based on solid evidence.

We should open a poll on how many people trust us to win a trophy in football within our lifetime. Without illegal goals and refereeing help.

I mean everybody knows: these days nothing's certain but death, taxes, aliens, playing bots in the first round of the Cup and the English football failures. Sad, but true.

No need to get it out. Nothing of any note to respond to for my part.

I entertained the idea of buying Grierson or whatever the name was, but then someone bid 4.4m and frankly better big men have gone for less these days. Never fails to amaze me how people overpay for English players. Maybe they see us as a micronation. Also paying 4m+ for 200k+ salary players is madness.

yeah one guy clearly wanted him. But to be fair, he's pretty much guaranteed an NT spot

How many players do we have that are actually NT calibre? What about the next generation as it were? Are there enough players coming through in all positions?
