Your user name is somewhat ironic considering you don't appear to wear them at home!

Good to see Spain stuff them last night. However I'm not a big fan of Spain either, all the tippy tappy stuff sends me to sleep. On a couple of occasions two of the players knocked the ball backwards and forwards to each other about 7 or 8 times, almost showboating. I was surprised none of the Irish players dodn't have a pop at them, I'd have gone ballistic.

Feck me Alpine, I hope for your sake you never use Trip Advisor.

Agree with everything said on here. The media report on them as if they were a home nation, they're not. Ireland is a foreign country. I loved watching Croatia **** them and why?, because they would have loved watching France **** us. For me it all goes back to Euro 1988 when they beat us 1-0 in Stuttgart with a team full of English & Scots and an English manager FFS. I have never felt so low after a football match as I did that day.

I was there this time last year with the wife and daughter, had a great time.

That's probably because there is no news.

Just been chatting to a Belgium visitor who was raving about this guy before I even mentioned the fact he could be coming to us on loan. He reckons de Bruyne is Belgiums best player, better than Hazard.

Same old politics of envy from the Republicans. The monarchy is the heart of Britain, our history, our heritage, it's what defines us. Yes it's got it's flaws but how will things improve if we become a republic?

It may be 'old news' but when the BBC are reporting it you do get the sense that it is genuine. Does not necessarily mean the deal will go through of course.

This statement convinces me that it would be a very good signing.

In all seriousness and I've been saying this for years. Seven a side, you'll soon get a goal.

Sorry, I assumed Sibley said it. I'm not up on this Twitter malarkey!

This part is interesting.

Jay Rod, Adam Johnson and Steven Pienaar....... .....and a box of Kleenex?

Agreed Pienaar would be a great signing, but let's be realistic, it ain't gonna happen.

I think Martinez may well go to Liverpool.

Would that be the type of support we see from you on the match threads when we go 1-0 down?

L What do you think Shearer will get for his stamp on Lennon?

I don't think any sensible poster would call one of their own players '****'.

'Top Secret' was the first film they made I think, it was on Sky the other night.

And that is understandable, personally I thought the booing was terrible. This, and the whole Suarez affair has I think re-kindled an antipathy towards Liverpool, but I guess that's how many (not all) Liverpudlians like it.

Pap, can you explain why they were booing? I remember them booing the national anthem back in the eighties but not in recent years.

Absolutely agree with this. After the final whistle on Saturday I grabbed my daughters hand and we walked all the way across the pitch from the Kingsland to the Northam to find my brother, I was not going to let go. And she's 13.

H's busy arranging a hit-man to take care of Paul Hayward.

Excellent article on Adkins here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/9235030/Southampton-manager-Nigel-Adkins-is-lost-for-words-as-his-side-are-promoted-to-the-Premier-League.html
