Thermostatic valve. I don't think it's jammed, the pin (sorry guessing at the lingo) isn't stuck down and seems identical to the radiators that work. The heating was off when I bled it and I just got cold water out. The whole radiator is stone cold from the very bottom.

I think so but will have another check round - no doubt I missed one

More advice needed for the guy who drives spreadsheets for a living. Got a radiator in my house that isn't working (and as far as I know has never worked in the three years since I've been in). 1. I've bled it 2. As far as I can tell the valves on both sides are open 3. There's decent pressure on the boiler - the room is on the third floor so I thought pressure might be an issue but the other two on that floor are fine. Is there any thing else I should be trying before I have to get a man in to look at it *shudder*

Yeah cos mowbray never down played expectations when he was here

I want to see Messi crying his little gimp eyes out by 5pm!

Bet no one will mention that the goal came from Messi dicking about

I missed this, what happened?

Similar logic - you can't say Messi is better than me.

Linekar and Ferdinand were two of the worst offenders and they do champions league coverage

I too find the fangirling coverage of Messi to be cringeworthy. Clearly a superstar of a player capable of things no other player is but the coverage is over the top to the point that I also want France to win it. Things that have wound me up 1. Striker scored a goal, it was a great first touch and a decent finish with the outside of the boot. The first thing the commentator does is talk about Messi and the assist. Fair enough talk about the assist but to not even mention the goalscorer is disrespectful 2. Tries something that doesn't quite work. E.g. he dribbled past 2 players and then got tackled "joy to watch" 3. Does something that even I could pull off "is there anyone else like him" - yes literally everyone.

The manager debate I'm genuinely torn on. Southgate has transformed England, we've gone from a team grateful for making the quarter finals to a team expected to win tournaments. He's also had three tournaments which I feel is enough for an international manager. Do we let him have the euros? The players seem to like him but also he doesn't seem to get that extra few % out of our attacking talent

11 v 12 ffs

Foul on saka no?

How else would you suggest we prepare for a game in the snow??

Said it before and will say it again. Messi is a cracking player, no doubt about it, but the commentators and pundits constantly are cringeworthy beyond belief with how they talk about him.

Purely because he's had a week off training I wouldn't start him but he'd be a good option from the bench

I totally agree with this! I really dislike it. Ive gotten flak from people before for saying I don't like Pep football. It looks fantastic as a highlights package but I really don't like watching a full game of it as there's a lot of passing it about, dominating the game without a lot of action.

Our route to the final was underrated. If we played Ukraine --> Denmark --> Germany it would have been a tricky draw. The order we did it in looks easy but at the end of the day it's the same three teams we have to beat but it can be dismissed because Denmark is an "easy semi"

Spain showing that a good start to the tournament counts for nothing

We'd never let the game be that open in the first half and Brazil conceaded a few chances. I'm not seeing anyone at this world cup that we couldn't give a good game. I'm not saying we will beat everyone or anything like that but I don't think we'll play anyone where the game is lost before we've even kicked off

Calculators? It's all about overly complicated spreadsheets now

You boomers need to learn what trolling means. Hint: It's not holding different / bizzare opinions.

Same 11 against France I reckon. Get Walker to look after Mbappe and have Henderson and Rice cover any holes that might leave. Also we've got to look after Giroud as well and not underestimate him but I'm less worried about him in a foot race against maguire but he needs to stay switched on. I like that midfield 3 a lot. Bellingham does what I wanted from Mount I.e. can sit deeper and help defend but then turns into an extra attacker when we're going forward. Hendersons energy and leadership is vital. Our choice of attacking options is unreal! Can England beat France - absolutely we can. Will we - that's to be seen but no one should be writing us off.
