First 2 months look very challenging but we're going to have to beat some of these sides if we want to have a hope of making the top 6. Over to the Recruitment Committee...

Racism: OK
Calling out racism: Not OK.

Was the same with CEB's reaction to the COYOs post so at least we're seeing consistency, I guess.

Oh f*** off moron

No need for this.

Totally justified. Assume faith has been given 24hrs off?

Also comes down to the players available. We don't (currently) have a left back who plays like Cucarella or Grimaldo. And we don't have a Rodri (appreciate he's not playing tonight).

Proof? Sounds like you’re shilling for the evil mods…

His account has been greyed out, which doesn't happen with banned accounts.

He wasn't banned, he asked for his account to be deactivated.

Wasn't the obvious penalty that those of a Scottish persuasion are making it out to be (he had a fistful of Orban's shirt for starters) and Clarke did himself a real disservice by trying to make a thing out of the referee not being from Europe. Bit pathetic. Should perhaps have told his players to t...

Reaching the final and semis of international competitions is generally considered "top level", yes.

Birmingham at home first game, as it was 30 years ago in glorious August sunshine. Just as long as we don't go on to finish bottom with only 5 more wins.

I mean, it literally is because they play in completely different positions.

Half the people on this thread have to be on a wind-up, surely?

He's just blindly signed a contract. "Open For a Surprise"!

Moaning about England never winning anything then claiming you wouldn't celebrate if we won without playing a team full of Hoddles (how many international tournaments did he win, can't remember?) :clown As for "we should celebrate Hoddles not Kalvin Phillipses...so ridiculous to compare those t...

I find it a tad ironic that Southgate is lauded for making a final which Venables didn't, when it was Southgate missing a penalty that stopped Venables getting there. That he did it on purpose and was playing the long game to future proof him from comparison with previous managers is the best consp...

It's a significant chapter in our history and therefore all part of our USP (Unlimited Somme Payout).

Plagiarist.

Venables was a good motivator, , dont think Southgate is Euro 96 was great and all that, but what did El Tel's superior motivation skills earn us? A drab draw against Switzerland (arguably lucky to get a point); A drab win over Scotland (Gazza's wonder goal glossed over what could have been a very ...

He's actually been excellent. For all the talk of us missing Maguire, that's been the least of our concerns.

CAN EVERYONE STOP CALLING HIM 'TRENT'

Also, not defending England/Southgate, but loads of people not really comparing like with like when saying "look at Albania/Georgia etc, they can play attacking football!". They don't have the same weight of expectation and sides aren't lining up against them in the same way teams play aga...

We go a goal up then sit deep and defend . We've been far too negative . Writhing was on the wall losing to Iceland in our last pre- tournament friendly .We'll scrap through the group then get knocked out in the first knock out game . This shouldn't be a surprise though, Southgate's been playing li...

Spain should have absolutely pumped them. Fantastic to watch but profligacy like that is going to bite them on the arse at some stage.

Rubbish.

"Acquired taste" is about right.

I wholeheartedly bought into the pre-tournament Hungary hype and this is already severely hampering my Euro predictions comps and Fantasy League. The squad owe me a bottle or two of Unicum.
