Last time England played Scotland in the World Cup qualifiers I went down and during the afternoon we were having a meal in Chinatown. I went to use the facilities and went past a table of Scots fans, I asked this fella if he thought Bannan would be playing. His reply ' I F**KING HOPE NOT' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Tbf, he has managed the whole tournament so well. Got through the group stages comfortably and we've then got through the gears during the knockouts. From not enjoying what we were producing in the group stages; I've really enjoyed all three knockout games for various reasons, not just the result. A semi final and a final...not much more to say really. Just hope we can cap it all off by picking up the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Slow start, terrible against Scotland but have improved every game since. Just watched the end of last night again and we were relentless. Such a young squad, super fit and so much ability. I have a feeling Grealish might be the hero on Sunday, that’s how football works sometimes.

scram Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I absolutely do not care I'd rather be eating copious amounts of humble pie than get knocked out of the euros just so i can say "i told you" Southgate is a very, very decent human being and it means a lot to me that he can get success - i doubted it but willed it Quote me all you like about me doubting Southgate - or our team Doesn't in the slightest diminish my absolute joy at the way we have progressed My musings about each game i would still defend - real time reactions to events - not this hindsight BS after the horse is in the next county But i've waited all my life for this and i'm not gonna let anybody tarnish it by their sheer pettiness 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I don’t know one person who was behind Southgate pre tournament. It’s not exactly like it was split opinion. A bump for the sake of bumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_83 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I just hope all those calling for Southgate's head realise that it's a massive achievement getting to a final. Andy maybe he has earned the right to continue qualification for 2022, and lead us way beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 On 29/06/2021 at 18:48, Taz said: You quoted me so I will quote you Home advantage A goal start Putting two players on in the last minute to take penalties when they've had no feel for the game We'll never win anything with the English Karanke All that talent gone ro waste No Foden, no Sanchez Giving a 19 year old kid that type of responsibilty The writing was on the wall when we couldn't beat Scotland Fucck off Southgate you English Karanke 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

scram Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 He shouldn't go We have hit par in his 2 tournaments But he needs to learn form that abomination tonight All i've seen is what we do against semi decent sides - and it was devastating We have players to do better than that but ended up just surrounding our penalty area and doing nothing Their keeper did now have to make a save in130 mins of football It was nothing to be proud of in reflection 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EighteenSixty7 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Needs to learn from tonight. Far too defensive/cautious when we have all that attacking talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 When we played on the front foot and got behind they respected us, and the talent on the pitch was heavily in our favour. So why oh why did Harry kane play 15 yards inside our half from minute 5. Torture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
