So it looks like Southgate stays on..... I'm glad I can remember 1966 and sorry for those who may well never see similar with nice guys who the players 'like' running the show. Good luck with that one.

There are a few of us believe it or not. But I fully accept that such a move is against the interest of fans who want to go to the game It's all about Sky and £££££

JRC, Hyam, Ayala, Pickering - must be the slowest back line in the league. If they try tippy tappy around our penalty area you will need a calculator to keep score.

I will watch it until the first goal goes in, then make a decision on staying or continuing my Poirot rewatch binge.

Unfortunately missed the semis as on 'gardening leave', anyway here goes for the remainder Croatia 1 Morocco 2 France 2 Argentina 2

No. He was against the Dutch. He did give a lot of yellows against the Animals but at least 3 should have been red. He was biased.

17 yellows and a late red given by a ref who booked a Dutch player who was run into by Messi who them fell over crying and holding his face. There were 12 Spanish speaking mates onfield at any given time. Bent as a nine bob note.

Leave him in space and unmarked, which the Dutch did, and he's a danger even at walking pace with turbo long gone.

No one is moaning, yet,just weather updates and comments. Don't invent bullshit.

Carragher ....... a constant reminder of how much I like Lucas Neil.

Ferdinand has never been the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree.

Nuttall St. looking towards Ewood Park at 3 am this morning UK time Will the Met Office still claim it is not snowing in Blackburn? Weather advice - use a free weather app!

Messi referred that game, it was pathetic to watch the Spaniard kissing Messi's arse. He blinked, he got a foul.

Not one of them tells the truth that he walks around the pitch like an OAP who's lost his Zimmer Frame.

I cannot understand why the Dutch didn't stay with what worked and play it long to the Dingle. Really stupid by the fool van Whathisname.

What a bloody awful referee that was I assume he shags Messi.

What a crap match this is, fuck knows what I'm doing watching it. Just a bloody bad habit I suppose. Messi must have walked at least half a mile so far. The Dutch Disease commits suicide, they are so bad they will miss their plane home. * I just knew that would happen. Just friggin knew it.

Those Brazilians are really top at crying.

PNE have sold 3,600 with just 2 days to go. Waggott now expects to sell a further 1,400 pre kick off at £30 a pop to fill the lower and make opening the upper worthwhile. In dodgy weather, with the match live on the telly, just before Christmas etc etc ..... no chance, the man is a fool. He has no idea about sales and marketing. None at all. But he tried ......

"Rovers floated the idea" after being caught with their pants down. Stop with the LT sports washing.

Yes, the forecast I've seen shows a lot of snow from 6 pm Friday for the following 14 or so hours. A bit this evening too.

Croatia 1 Brazil 3 Netherlands 1 Argentina 1 Morocco 1 Portugal 1 England 2 France 2

I was just wondering about his age and you saved me from having to Google. He does still look in good nick and so much high level experience. His occupying of the CBs creates opportunity and space for the likes of Mbappe to exploit when he cuts in.

France do have a weapon who is often overlooked. With his height and aerial ability Giroud is a danger to any defence and he's not shabby with ball at feet. He will keep our CBs fully employed.
