Absolutely no chance Iceland would beat us on pens.

Bingo.

That is correct.

Nah. We would lose to Portugal because a) we always do and b) CR would step up and c) our defence/goalkeeper would let him win. Our record against nondescript teams in the second round/last 16 of tournaments is actually excellent - we only go out to big old recognised big nations. It's all good.

They'll put 10 behind the ball and we will break them down with our incisive attacking play.

ANY TEAM HAVE SCORED!!!

There's a crushing inevitability that we'd end up with Portugal. Brilliant. Come on any team! Score!

We've signed an Itsy Bitsy teeny weeny Manuel Pellegrini That's what I saw on the Internet today We've signed an Itsy Bitsy teeny weeny Manuel Pellegrini Might be an old man But he's coming to stay

I wouldn't think it is going to make any difference - doubt it would stop us announcing it or even him rocking up at the training ground.

Would be pretty remarkable if true. Not my first choice initially but mainly because him coming to us didn't seem plausible, not a Southampton Way type appointment. If it happens not sure how anyone could doubt our ambition. Yet again, an upgrade.

I'm quite happy that Katya Adler is going to be on the TV quite a lot over the next 72 hours. I made my mind up about her many weeks ago and am remaining.

I went in expecting Remain to get annihilated but actually Davison and Sadiq have been very good and leave have been weak. Think they should have freshened up the squad from the previous debate, take some lessons from our Roy. Agree that Caroline Lucas has been underused. She always comes across well. Can't imagine it will change many minds though.

Why have you wasted a post on this rubbish? When is Unai Emery starting work at Staplewood?

Definitely a screamer.

Apart from that Andrea woman and Ruth none are any good out of this lot. Khan and TUC bird just losing their rag too quickly. Boris looks less Prime Ministerly with every appearance. Gisela is just dull and demonstrates why I'd never heard of her before about six weeks ago.

He won't. Basically a solid gold ticket to the glory of 13th three seasons in a row.

Er, okay then. General and unadulterated Adkins-love is one of the only things that unites all of us on here. There are two, that's two, people that like to have a pop at him.

I was getting bored of generally agreeing with you anyway. Dear god.

I'm waiting for a statement from The Managers Club on why they have told all the managers not to even speak to us.

I vote to rename this thread, very simply, to "The Poisoned Chalice"

This is special.

Our sh ite defence hasn't been tested yet. All we do know is if we go one down against a proper team we've got pretty much no chance of getting back in it.

At least Bale is a superstar who has turned up at a tournament and actually delivered. Fair play to him.

Errrrm, ok.

Clyne keeping his place.
