Yep. Just ask the Chelsea fans.😃

Sorry, but I am still not completely convinced that Gareth Southgate is the right manager for England. When Kane was sitting on the pitch last night, nursing his knee, Southgate has Rashford warming up! Why, Rashford when he has Sancho? Am I missing something here? I would love to see us start with Foden, Mount, Sancho, Bellingham and Grealish against Ukraine but I can't see the conservative, cautious Southgate changing his line-up from last night. A 2-0 win against one of the poorest German sides I have seen in some time will convince him his team selection is fine.

I have always liked Luke Shaw. His face didn't fit with Van Gaal and Mourinho but he has had a good season and deserves his Euro place.

All credit to the Swiss team. They just wouldn't give in. The TV cameras often showed this Swiss supporter in a sun hat and glasses who displayed throughout that match the agony and ecstasy of the football fan. What an amazing game.

No way. It is a test of skill and strength of mind. A lottery would be picking the winner out of a hat.

Why is that then? Good looking, fit as hell for his years and one of the world's greatest footballers. It's a joy to watch a player of Ronaldo's quality.

1966.

As you say, if Rashford was a West Brom player, would he have been in the squad given the poor season he has had?

Good post. According to the FA, Southgate is safe until after the next World Cup. No pressure or reason for him to stop playing cautious, boring football, then. He has some talented, young players at his disposal. I want to see them given the chance.

Did you watch England tonight? On that form they won't beat any of them.

Maybe they are encouraging Grealish to stay if they show him they want to strengthen the squad?

I have to laugh at Man U's forum. Topic this morning is why Pogba can play world class football for France but can't manage it for United. Lots of disgruntled fans questioning his commitment to them. It wonder if it's more than that. When Pogba plays for France he is partnered by Kante, a little powerhouse of a midfielder. When he plays for United he is partnered by Fred, enough said. When Pogba plays for France he has Mbappe in front of him but when he plays for United he sees Martial, mooching about with a face like a slapped arse and wearing a pair of wooly gloves. I rest my case.

The best place after a hospital. It's scary how a professional footballer can go through medicals and play fast, high action games for years without any problems, then suddenly collapse. My eldest son's friend died in the middle of a football match. He was only 14. His poor mother never got over it. Hats off to the medics.

The bottom line is there have always been and will always be racists. When I was a teenager in the 60's, sitcoms like Steptoe and Son, Love Thy Neighbour, On The Buses and Till Death Do Us Part made comments which were taken as banter. Every culture had a nickname. From what I could see nobody took offence because you gave as good as you got. Today, every word or action comes under the microscope to see is there is anything offensive in it. Taking the Knee has not had the desired outcome. The likes of Sterling, Rashford etc still get racist comments and monkey emojis after a poor performance. No matter what is put into practice to try to stop racism, there will always be those out there who are racist.

Lingard has missed out for the in-form goal machine, Marcus Rashford. 🤪

Tuchel has some work to do on Werner. I think he's scored 6 goals this season which is way off the mark for a top club striker. He needs to up his awareness too. Goodness knows how many times he's offside. I am pleased that Che has been named in the Scotland side for the Euros. Great experience for him which may bode well for us next season. 🤞

Isn't hindsight great?😁

I couldn't care less about Man U but if I was one of their fans this morning I would be fuming to hear Ole's remarks post match. 'We didn't turn up'. This was a Cup Final for hell's sake, not a rehearsal. The Old Trafford trophy cabinet has more cobwebs than cups. Shouldn't a player who is walking out onto the pitch for a Final and wearing his club shirt, be bursting with pride? Shouldn't he be filled with determination to give 100%? Where were the balls and the fire in the bellies of those players last night? They get paid obscene amounts of money to kick a ball around a bit of grass. Look as if you at least care. It amazes me they ended up 2nd in the League. It's like seeing an elephant in a tree and wondering how it got there. To cap it all their star striker, Pen, never got the Golden Boot. There's no justice in the world. I hope Ole has kept the receipt for the Silvo.

Until our esteemed owner asks for a realistic price for a low end of average football club and then clears off, I can't see much changing in the way of manager or players. I have all my hopes pinned on an early sale to someone in Leiber's mould.🙏

I'm sure Pep has him top of his wish list. There aren't likely to be many decent strikers available this summer. Haarland? Kane? No, let's go for Ings.😂

Oh goody! Something to look forward to.😝

2 good chances near the end for Redmond but doesn't bother passing to others with a better goal scoring opportunity. What a team player!

Exactly. They will ignore the fact that our good form and results earlier in the season provided us with a cushion to avoid relegation. If we climb a few places up the league the Board will stay sat in Cuckoo Land and say everything is great. It isn't!.

Walcott isn't ideal but better the devil you know sometimes. I can't see us making many major improvements to the team in the transfer window. Our esteemed owner won't be splashing the cash.

It all depends on what the Board want Southampton to achieve. If it is going to be treading water in the bottom third of the Premiership season after season then keep Adams. If there are aspirations for better things then Adams isn't what we need. Yes, his work rate and effort are decent enough but he is a striker, first and foremost. Forget this 2nd striker malarkey. A striker is a striker and their job is to score goals and Adams goal tally isn't good enough. Look at the teams from 14th place up. Would any of them buy Adams if he was on offer? No, they wouldn't.
