    Probably a lot less than we'll hear Celtic supporters blathering on about winning a European Cup over 50 years ago

    There are plenty of up and coming players that did their careers no harm doing well at this competition - just ask Saviola, Messi, Aguero, and Pogba.
    Had Patrick Roberts not picked up a hamstring injury he might well have joined the England U20s, and picked up another gong for the season.
    From an England perspective, we have a group of youngsters that are more likely than not going to have an impact on the senior team.

    Hahaha.... At least we've won it, unlike your lot, and with a team full of Scots too, the sum total of which would've cost less than the average bar bill per head for supporters in your executive box!

    Yup, and I'm all for that. One of the main reasons why England, 1990 aside, have faired so poorly in tournaments since 1966, is because there are too many foreigners playing for Premiership teams, which means that young English talent doesn't get given a proper chance.

    Let's hope that England's success in the U20s helps reverse that trend a little!

    I see Daniel Candeias joins Gers from Benfica to become Pedro Caixinha's fifth signing of close season. I dont know anything about him but hope he is decent. Played with a German ad French side on loan so must have something. Still got another 3 that I know about in pipeline. Such a new side is obviously going to take time to gel and there is no time, Still it had to be done I guess.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
