It’s coming home etc If anyone sees a wall chart for the Euros can you let me know? I’m trying to trick my girl into showing some interest. There’s a good digital one here on Etsy if you don’t mind printing it off yourself. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 3, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) The Hall of Fame for "Stickers Produced Before The Squad Was Announced" is proud to announce Kalvin Phillips as their latest inductee ; Not pictured - Jermain Defoe, 2006. For me, the grief is still too near. OK, so Gerrard was announced before his injury. But... well, you know.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 3, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2024 Is there not an Adam Wharton sticker? I have actually ordered a Hungary themed t-shirt this time. Quote

It's a Panini one for the England players (male and female) designed to make kids want to eat the same food as the players as long as it comes from Marks and Sparks. (It's still obviously timed to cash in on the Euros but Panini don't have the license). The proper Topps set hasn't got Phillips in but it has got Luke Thomas, Fikaro Tomori, Rico Lewis, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount and Callum Wilson in it so could pretty much fill the hall of fame on their own!

Adding "official or otherwise conveniently timed to coincide with major tournaments" would have been ever wordier. Don't worry about "most pedantic" - I usually have that one in the bag. Real fun - I once had a huge Euro 92 wallchart that a mag gave away that still had Yugoslavia instead of Denmark. Being a child, instead of keeping it as a collectors item, I defaced it with felt tip so it said Denmark instead. Or to be more accurate, "DENMARK!"

Max Power Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Goodbye Slabhead. We barely knew ye. Eze over Grealish is bold though. Quote

I'd have taken them both, and Maddison, but then again if I was a manager, I'd pick all attackers and no defenders. Quote
Paid Members seph Posted June 6, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 6, 2024 Southgate gets credit a couple of weeks ago for dropping Hendo in that he's 'picking to form' but then stands by Maguire, then he 180s on both for the tournament proper. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted June 6, 2024 Members Posted June 6, 2024 If he's picking on form, I think he might want to take a look at the form of some of those inclusions ? Quote
Paid Members Nexus Posted June 6, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 6, 2024 I think it's odd not picking Branthwaite, and I would've dropped Toney as I don't think him, Watkins and Kane are needed, and he's had the worst season of the three, but nevermind. I'm beginning to get the fever. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted June 10, 2024 Members Posted June 10, 2024 Oh just fucking cancel it. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 10, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 10, 2024 Still smirking at Grealish every time I walk past the “definitely not an official Euros tie in” Nectar card stuff in Sainsbury’s at the moment. That’s him and Philips both cursed by top-of-the-middle places to buy your pretzels. Doubt there’s a correlation. I expect to see Dunk and Wharton printed on the side of Noble’s pear bag down the market soon. Quote
