Same comments since the opening game and look where we are. Performances have been poor, results have been put is in Qfinals.

Winner progresses to the next round, number of goals don’t matter.

Tournament football is all about the result, the performance doesn’t matter. Next!

Around 30,000 England fans are starting to arrive in Dusseldorf for the clash with Slovakia on Sunday. Nobody seems to be writing about the impeccable behaviour of the travelling hordes, even the gutter press have packed up the SLR Cameras and returned home to chase ambulances. We have the best fans in the world, its time for this England side to step up and make this nation proud. Come on England.

Whilst England top the group and qualify at a canter, shout out to the fans tonight who never stopped singing from start to finish, in fact they’ve never stopped singing since they got to the airports and ports across the U.K heading to Germany. Brilliant support, I salute you all.

Thats what the French are saying right now, but we all know both France and England have more to give.

Let’s see what happens pal, keep the faith. Seen this so many times over the years, we have another gear or two yet.

No England manager has won more tournament games than Gareth Southgate, ever! Come on England.

If that was my flag, I'd be moving it.

England possible route Round 16: Solvakia/Austria QF: Switzerland/Croatia Semi Final: Dutch/Hungary/Romania/Turkey Could it be coming home 🤞

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24403287.blackburn-rovers-hit-fa-charge-crowd-behaviour/ Looks like we've been hit with an FA charge for fan behaviour, this comes several months after the match took place, did Attwell lose his pen? Maybe they wanted us to be a bit more rowdy, light a few flairs, run onto the pitch, who knows......

🤣🤣 - Funny, spat my brew out. Klopp and Guardiola earn around £20m a year, have you had a slurp already? But if we aren't going for an English manager, only this calibre would do for me and its failed twice before.....

For a very good reason, its got 100% success rate on the world stage, no foreign manager has ever won the world cup since it started in 1930, but plenty have tried. It has happened in Euros, but only once I believe, when Greece won in 2004 they had German Otto Rehhagel in charge. All that said, with the pool of top quality English managers seemingly getting less and less, it won't be long before our only options are to go for a foreign manager and that will be very sad day indeed.

History shows us that national football teams with mangers from that country win the major tournaments, that isn't by accident. Whilst I want the best man for the job, which we apparently had with Capello, I want him to be English unless the pond is dry. You have to be English to understand the country, the history, the hurt and the expectation of us fans, a foreign manager would never understand that and that in part led to Capello's downfall.

Many wouldn't argue with that Ian. The Spain team that won The World Cup in 2010 are probably the best team I've ever seen: Iker Casillas (c), Sergio Ramos, Gerard Piqué, Carles Puyol, Joan Capdevila, Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso Xavi Andrés Iniesta Pedro David Villa Jesús Navas Cesc Fàbregas Fernando Torres

On this day 1970 - Carlos Alberto Goal for Brazil

At the last Euros we’d just drawn with Scotland 0-0 and scraped past the Czechs 1-0 in the opening game. We need to improve, buts pots aren’t given out at this stage.

4 points from 2 games, qualification a formality, job done. You don’t have to look like the Brazil team in 1970 at this stage, but we must improve drastically to progress past the last 16, no doubt about that.

Its that time again - Come on England, do the nation proud.

Yes I was stood on the side terrace also Exiled. Notts Country were in the division 1 at the time, was Warnock the manger? They were relegated as we went up, just missing out on making the Premiership which came in the following season.

Danny Murphy ‘What can these subs do? Bringing them on with only 3 minutes left’ Danny Murphy 2mins later ‘The subs have combined and scored what could be the winning goal’ Still a clueless **** robbing a living.

Good on you, let’s hope for a successful season, one to remember for all the right reasons.

Danny Murphy - ‘Great decision, foul just outside the box, no penalty’ Danny Murphy on same incident 3 seconds later ‘Great decision, booked him for simulation/diving’ Still a clueless **** robbing a living

Great bit of footage here of our game away at Notts County in FA Cup 1992. The Speedie incident was classic, him leathering the ball out of the ground after being sent off. If memory serves me right, both our game and dingles at Derby were called off on the Saturday due to frost. The police had put suggested routes for fans to travel all over the local press to avoid it kicking off, I think they staggered the midweek games over 2 nights.

A very very good Italian side, the best side in Europe in fact. It was disappointing to lose, especially after the start we made, but to call them mediocre is way off the mark.
