We thought we had a decent pre-season last season, beating Saint-Étienne 3-0 and Sevilla 2-0. Pre-season results mean zilch.

Europeans don't get the coming home stuff at all, they don't have a sense of humour at all, and clearly don't understand that the song itself is all about England's past failures.

Hopefully this means au revoir to Jack Stephens

We have a stronger team than last season IMO. The focus has to be on shifting some of the deadwood in the team, and, as others have said, perhaps one more signing (after Vestergaard) would be nice.

Austin was unfit for the second half of the season, if he shifts a few pounds and stays injury free then he can be decent for us still.

Mbappé will demolish him, so enjoy the final everyone and enjoy Lovren's tears.

Someone needs to mention to Keane that he RAN AWAY from his World Cup chance.

We've got to play Croatia home and away in the Nations League. Thankfully, the away leg in Zagreb is behind closed doors because their fans are racist.

Yup, I think I was more down after our semi-final defeat to Chelsea

Chin up, we get to see Lovren cry again after losing in another final

Listen to Three Lions on repeat

I think the French are mentally weaker than the Belgians, they don't seem to handle pressure very well, so I'd prefer to face them personally.

McCarthy is going to be the number 1. End of story.

Long lunch?

Bloody hell, 1.99m in height! Just what we need really. Dare I say it, but we're beginning to put a decent team together...

Cheer up ffs.

It's bad enough with fans walking around town with Virgin plastered on their shirts

Burnley game will be moved IF Burnley qualify for later qualifying rounds. They play Aberdeen at some point in the coming weeks. But it won't be on live TV.

VAR was in use this season at Wembley against Chelsea.

SKD's right, the current centre back pairing isn't strong enough. I'd persist with Hoedt plus a new signing, Yoshida/Bednarek as backups, sell Stephens.

Couple of decent chances there

I was wondering if it was 5 at the back, but Redmond doesn't strike me as a wing back. Maybe Hughes sees it differently.

Interesting to see Bertrand and Targett both playing. I can only assume one of them will play at right back
