To be fair, I rate Gordon Strachan.

Spain best team all tournament. 2 years - we go again.

Not Nice.

Nice.

Right back. Watkins coming on?

Come on England ffs. Being torn a new butthole currently.

Southgate has to react quicker with the subs today. Pace needed up front.

Bollocks. It ain't coming home?

And now booked.

Stuck at work again for this match - treating my staff to pizza to keep them happy. Head says Spain will win this as the most deserving team through the tournament in terms of performance, but I just think England have been getting better as the tournament has gone on with the semi being our best performance and so my heart says a historic England win. We CAN win... now we have to prove it.

Wolves chasing Adams like:

Welcome Yuki. I hope you settle in quickly and become a success in the post KWP era.

Can someone fit his name in around this - I feel it would fit.

Shame - I saw him a bit pre-injury and he looked really promising. That injury really screwed him. I really hope he gets to play regularly and can shoot his way back up the leagues.

Wings > Paul McCartney > Was in a band with George Harrison > Harrison Reed. I'm getting good at this.

When you factor in we largely went for an entire Championship season without a decent striker because we spent £6/7 million or whatever it was on one that had been injured for 8 months prior, when that Charles money could have brought in one that was fit and ready, beggars belief really but that may have been the hangover from the buy promise/sell high method of doing things that we had because of the Tino/Lavia deals. Thankfully it didn't cost us ultimately and we got back to the Prem first time of asking...but it could've.

I do think we'll make 2 or 3 big money signings (big money for us not big money for the Premier League) but it does seem that we're currently targeting frees and low £million players over more expensive signings. Perhaps they're just the easier ones to get done but we'd signing Edwards before there was even really any noise about it - especially as other clubs were supposedly interested in him. Shea may yet become a £15 million player but it was definitely a lot of money to spend on potential especially as we were a Championship-bound side.

Dubravka would be a brilliant signing for us - instantly would improve the GK department. The fact that we're even being linked with a GK means that perhaps we won't have to see Alex as a no 1 all season and Lumley as back-up - or whatever they plan to do with Lis. That's a positive link whether it comes off or not.

Bittersweet - whilst he appears to be a good signing it almost certainly means we say goodbye to Kyle. He has big shoes to fill.

I guess he doesn't have much of an option but to get fit with us until he gets his move. I'd be extremely surprised to see him in the starting line up against Newcastle, put it that way!

He's not a bad player and he obviously has some level of skill but he's a bit meh. Championship level for sure. If we were to sign one of Brooks or Rothwell permanently it'd be Brooks. Though obviously I hope we're aiming higher.

Thing is... if you start with Watkins and let him get 80 minutes in or something like that, you then bring Kane on which means having Kane on the pitch fresher and ready for extra time if required and a possible penalty shoot out. You have your best penalty taker on the pitch. Kane trotting around doing very little for 80 minutes, you then sub him and you're suddenly without your best penalty taker. For me it's a no brainer... but Southgate in his post match interview said he thought Harry had a good game so....

That was our best performance of the tournament. A real mix - played well, dug in when we had to, subs made a difference and a great winning goal. No extra time or penalties will give the players a real boost for the final. Spain have been the best team all tournament but they are gettable. History could be made this year. Could...

Well that's another 4 years of SouthGOAT. All hail the gaffer.

Still think Spain will rinse us but we've given ourselves the best chance.
