For @georgeelek.bsky.social, pick five current EFL players who you think will play for England one day.

howellsy77.bsky.social•101 days ago

Who was happier after that Harwood-Bellis goal? THB himself or the best man at his wedding who almost certainly has to mention it while Roy Keane stares at him.

sanjivsachdev.bsky.social•101 days ago

How is Barry? Really looking forward to his comments.,

soccemel.bsky.social•101 days ago

Noticed over the last several years that the presence or absence of a world class DM seems to have more impact than any other position. (Rodri city, kante Chelsea). Is it the most important position in modern football? If you had one world class player and ten normals, which position would it be?

Anyone who listens to Max’s other show knows Elis is usually found exclaiming “We are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!” at his children during the school run.

bobbleleaguepro.bsky.social•101 days ago

Max, Monday is 15 years to the day of Thierry Henry's handball. Can you do 10 minutes on that awful night instead of this one?

boomstronk.bsky.social•101 days ago

Everyone looking forward to the Nations League relegation/promotion playoffs? More international football, what we all want right?

n16gooner.bsky.social•101 days ago

When is Barry going on ‘what did you do yesterday?’ . A recording tomorrow would be ideal 😁

mumshield.bsky.social•101 days ago

Ha-ha. Reading this question made me ask my son (He's got livescore): Have England beaten Ireland heavily in football today?

Love English banter😀

jonathanbrook.bsky.social•101 days ago

How’s Barry?

bowlerbill.bsky.social•101 days ago

I switched off the England game at half time cos it was so boring. Who won?

wmidlander.bsky.social•101 days ago

I know there is a long way to go and you may have already discussed it? But if Arsenal win nothing this season, should arteta get the heave ho.

profjpc.bsky.social•101 days ago

How hard was it to convince Barry to join yet another social media platform?

bc57mc66.bsky.social•101 days ago

Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia. Is there a more magnificent name in football? Scored for Queens Park on Saturday. Here’s hoping he gets capped for Scotland

rookiecommentator.bsky.social•101 days ago

Anyone got a direct line to @philippeauclair.bsky.social ? Is he ok? Can he tell us WHAT Rabiot is?

mattlorenzo24.bsky.social•101 days ago

As ever, how daft does this make the renta-gobs on TalkSport look, after slating Carsley to death over the Greece home game 🤔

mikeyfishmike.bsky.social•101 days ago

Max at what score does it become unseemly to gloat? Or is non-gloating then patronising?

barcajim3.bsky.social•101 days ago

As Harry Kane emphsised how the national team is more important than club game was Scales sending off saving energy for Celtic's game at weekend even more reprehensible?

pjmxxx.bsky.social•101 days ago

I have a question. I went to see Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao (women) this evening but when I was wlking around the stadium it smelled of the same fart for half the lenght of the stadium, maybe a bit more. How is this possible? I know what you're thinking, and no, I had not dropped my guts.

mikehausen.bsky.social•101 days ago

Has a promotion ever felt so insignificant?

Also during New Zealand's 8-1 win it dawned on me that NZ now has virtual automatic qualification sown up under this new expanded format. Will anyone have ever had an easier time qualifying for world cups?

discoweapon.bsky.social•101 days ago

Do you reckon Heimar Hallgrimsson thinks coaching Ireland is like pulling teeth?

kingswell.bsky.social•101 days ago

martinlrix.bsky.social•101 days ago

Will Barry be off sick tomorrow morning?

rtherringbone.bsky.social•101 days ago

Do you think Tommy T comes in and makes some BIG decisions early with England? There's a decent argument to move on from a few players like Walker and then a super ballsy decision about whether Kane is dynamic enough to fit the profile of an otherwise generally mobile squad.

jimhearson.bsky.social•101 days ago

Carsley's done him a solid by taking the hit on dropping Kane for the first time - it's broken the seal now.

rtherringbone.bsky.social•101 days ago

It has, but that shackle of a guy who has scored a lot of goals versus players who haven't is a hurdle.

I prefer our balance with an one-the-shoulder kind of striker, but dropping a load of goals is a big call.

Kane will continue to be fine if we can get consistent runners beyond him centrally.

gghofman.bsky.social•101 days ago

How was the non pen on Ferguson not the opening point of conversation, god this pod is so England bubble even with Barry around

cjdboyle.bsky.social•101 days ago

Does Barry have any hope for the future of the Irish national team because I need some hope

talk2jer.bsky.social•101 days ago

Well done England. They beat 10 mainly championship and prem squad players at home after two stonewall penalties weren't awarded. Can we expect a video of this ref calling Halgrimson a c**t and suggesting he hates us Irish in the coming days. Also was second yellow harsh when pen had been awarded?

mikekin.bsky.social•101 days ago

With the reverse in England’s fortune that came against Greece & Ireland, is it now apparent that we all overreacted a bit to the defeat in October, and that quite a few of us really owe Lee Carsley an apology for much of the commentary at the time?

Also, when is the live show coming to Sydney? :)

martyparke.bsky.social•101 days ago

What did @barryglendenning.bsky.social do yesterday

markheytch1968.bsky.social•101 days ago

Two cracks at talking about Cootes and not one mention of the likely bias that at least that one referee would have to have leaked into his performances.
Suggesting that “all” referees probably hate PL managers?
Barely acknowledging the xenophobia too?
Honestly it was pathetic imo. Truly pathetic.

georgefoster.bsky.social•101 days ago

After Barry saying John McGinn was out for Scotland on Wednesday's pod, was it written in the stars he was going to score the winner against Croatia

edinburghblade.bsky.social•101 days ago

Does Barry get to Sunderland much?

dn35.bsky.social•101 days ago

Ireland lost 5-0 to England didn’t they Barry?

stulekingston.bsky.social•101 days ago

Why do we have the nations league? I get that it lets San Marino win games but surely it should be done like this in qualifying

dn35.bsky.social•101 days ago

It replaced the friendlies.

stulekingston.bsky.social•101 days ago

There shouldn’t be any. 3 international breaks by November is mental

jezbayes.bsky.social•101 days ago

Is it any coincidence that Italy had to put Vicario in goal and let in 3 set pieces?
(From a weary Spurs fan)

Plus how did that match end with 22 players on the pitch - it felt like a 1980s FA Cup 3rd round blood and guts affair.
