These rules from the Gov website?

Fucking cheating bastards

We need these Italians knocked out

It’s one of those you’d want given if it was for you, and moan like fuck if it’s given against you

Good post

Fuck me, he’s quick

Nope. I follow the regulations. I leave my name & contact details at the boozers I frequent, and if they contact me, I’ll self isolate. I’m not a Tory FYI Perhaps you should write to the Government with your theory of why we haven’t opened up yet. Perhaps they’ll take your advise and make using the app mandatory. More likely, they’ll just ignore you.

This is absolutely the problem you lot have. As long as the leftie coalition has to include the SNP, it’ll frighten too many of the “soft” Tory voters who would vote for the Lib/Dems or a centralist Labour leader. Vote Miliband get Krankie probably won Call me Dave the 2015 election.

It’s the app, it’s a frigging joke. Until it’s a legal requirement or needed to get into the ale houses I visit, I won’t be downloading it.

Perfect result for us. They’ll be harder to beat than Switzerland, making the semi final tougher. What we now need is this one to go all the way to penos , as well as the semi. Whoever wins through will be fucked, facing England who’ve pissed through their games. It’s coming home

Alister Campbell of all people, moaning about the “normalisation of lying”, god Remoaners have really jumped the shark now.

So that’s nobody then. If you’re going to claim that the same people now praising Southgate were moaning about Puel, then surely you should back this up. From what I’ve seen people have been entirely consistent, the people, like me, who praised Puel are also praising Southgate. The ones who would preferred Puel to play more expansively, but we’re happy with the outcomes, feel the same about Southgate, and the ones that wanted Puel gone, don’t particularly like Southgate. Style of play is one thing on this forum that people are pretty consistent about, despite you pretending otherwise.

I wrote “more sensible members of the Labour establishment “, not “labour members”. Labour members is about 70%/30% loons, hence Corbyns “victory”. The people who work for the party, the elected MP’s, the officials, the lords, less so. There was a perfectly good mechanism for stopping the loons, keep them off the ballot. However, fuckwits like Beckett decided to “lend” their vote to Corbyn to ensure the hard left was represented in the subsequent debate. The biggest act of political self sabotage ever committed in living memory. There’s a reason why a Jacob Rees Mogg or a Nadine Dorries don’t become party leader despite their popularity with members, they don’t get anywhere near the ballot. If Starmer can ensure that his successor is a choice between Burnham, D Milliband, Raynor, etc, rather than a Burgon, Wrong Dailey or Dawn Butler he’d have done a great service to the party.

I’d imagine the more sensible members of the labour establishment would want Starmer to lead the party into the next election, with Burnham standing in a safe seat. Any leadership election before then would only benefit the Tories.

Is that another word for Muslims? The Hancock affair biting Boris in the arse.

Who are these people? Name them.

Or he listened to spurs fans singing it.

Spot on. They’ve won 2 in the last 50 years. 2 more than us obviously, but the same as Italy, France & The Argies. Germany have one more win in that period with their “exciting” brand of modern football.

There’s 4 major factors that convince me we will do it. 1. The quality of our squad. We may not have the best 11, but more than any other one, this tournament will be won by a squad of players. 2. Home advantage in big big games. 3. We normally go into tournaments running on empty & fucked due to our ridiculous schedules in England. Whilst other countries have English based players they have a lot who also play in slightly less demanding on your body leagues. I don’t believe Modric would have played like he did in WC ‘18 if he’d come off the back of a full season with Spurs. Due to shortened pre season & squeezed schedules they’ve all basically had an “English season” this year. The results of which we’re seeing right across the competition, European sides that normally look fresh, look knackered, players getting injured, hobbling around and generally not at their sharpest. In some respects we’re more used to the work load and certainly seem to be coping better physically. 4. The draw. I reckon the other side of the draw will punch themselves out, reaching the final having played tough tough games. Where they’ll meet an English team and it’ll be one game too many for them.

Rafa to Chelsea?

Yeah, I loved watching France, with all their attacking verve. Holland as well, great watch. I look forward to watching them both in this weekend’s quarterfinals. What time do they play?

You’re missing the point entirely . This team, like the Greek one, like the Portuguese one, isn’t good enough to win this tournament unless we play like we are. If we get into a basketball match with Spain or Belgium, we’ll get beat. Every single person on here would love is to outplay sides and football them off the pitch, but it ain’t going to happen with our defenders. They need a defensive structure and a solid foundation to bring the best out of them.

If you bothered to read what I wrote you’d have seen the words “ unless your head & shoulders above the rest”. If you think we are, then crack on. I don’t, The French are better, the Belgians are better , the Spain side are better. The only way we’ll win this is like the Greeks did, like the Portuguese did. 0 goals conceded, 3 out of 4 games won. That’ll do for me. Who cares if it’s fucking boring. Tell the Greeks you don’t win tournaments by bring boring, tell the Portuguese.

Thanks, you’ve illustrated the point that some don’t understand. We can only win this by continuing to play as we have been. If you can’t see that that’s not really a lot of point discussing further.

I don’t get this obsession with wining an “exciting game” and the contrasting of our result with others that attacked and excited everyone. Here’s the thing, if you play in an open and exciting way, unless you’re absolutely head and shoulders above the rest, one day you’ll get beat. The French did, the Danes & Spanish nearly did. If those 2 & the Belgians continue to be open, they’ll get beat as well. The best 2 sides have been England & Italy.
