Agreed, having two young kids sounds fucking horrific.

They can't bare to be left out but Southgate & the players have really shoved their bigotry right back down their throats...that's what the anti knee thing is about, I can't escape the thought that those most upset by it likely deep down have some fairly nasty opinions & can't handle the fact that BLM exposes them every time they object to it... https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2021/jul/08/england-and-southgate-stop-divisive-politicians-hijacking-euro-2020-success?__twitter_impression=true

'He's fresh! Exciting!'

Did you watch the Ukraine game on the radio?

Big transfer news from the Knight

Nice how they get tickets. (Apart from the hypocrisy and the nagging doubt I have that she truly gives a fuck about football).

Canny playlist for a shuffle ( ) , this. Although "obscure" is pushing it in several cases. As is "Britpop", for that matter. You get the gist though.

UEFA opens disciplinary procedures against England for use of a laser pointer, disturbance caused during the national anthem, and lighting of fireworks. Hungary's craic is still absolutely fine though.

I'm sorry you're finding this all so upsetting.

I think that means he likes them

I was pulling your leg man! I can hardly diagnose you through a message board post. But you are a miserable bastard if the thought of England winning the Euro's upsets you

It’s difficult to conceive how it could’ve been handled worse

They look like golf shirts or cycling shirts. They’ve clearly put no effort in which is a shame. They’ll be about £70 and it’s just cheap shite.

"Exciting"

When you've got the footy at 3pm then a quick 9 holes at 5...

Think this just about tops Lozza tbh Can you imagine the standard of bandwagon jumper/ocean going hypocrite that will be there on Sunday?... Rees Mogg has got to be 1/2 favourite

You did what

Right then @Andrew, here's the test of your mettle

All the more reason to go if they don't. Stopped to the waist, St George Cross on your chest. "Are you on your lunch hour mate? I'm timing you. You've got work to do."

Most of them. Walker is one of the best RB in the world. And in the bench you have Trippier, Starter RB in Atletico (Spanish Champion). Stones is playing in the Champions League Runner Up and Maguire (I dont like so much) is a very decent player. You have Shaw and Chilwell (Champions League champions), you have Sterling and Kane... You have Mount (another Champions League champions), you have Foden in the bench (starter with Guardiola), you have Sancho in the bench, you have Grealish in the bench. Henderson, the captain of Liverpool who dominates Premier during 2 years and 2 Champions league finalist in last 3 years is in the bench... You have a tremendous team. Is the mix between players very consolidated in the top like Walker, Sterling, Henderson or Kane with the new generation of young players (England was U20 and U17 World Champions in 2017, third in U21 European Championship in 2017 and Runner Up in U17 European Championship in 2017). With players like Sancho, Foden or DCL. You add players that are news in England Squad like Grealish and Rice, a decent players like KP and very solid players in the bench... And you have a very good team to play the tournament.

Someone is

I haven't even been to sleep

I’m picturing Gemmill as the lead in a sitcom where his buttons are constantly being pushed by his gammon-tastic family. That could be its name; The Gammon Family

I'm older and bitter but hope England win it especially for the bairns, for the players who've put up with shit from the mail/telegraph etc, for Rashford for showing up Johnson but especially as it'll piss Renton, err, I mean Fox, Farage and the gammons off.

You must look at Steve Bruce's family with envy.

It's difficult to comprehend just how big a fuckin idiot Laurence Fox is

Southgate Housemate Goosegate

BSYP

i had the lads over mine to watch it, got absolutely bladdered on home-pour g&t then kept the wife up most of the night snoring and groaning in my sleep, then i fell over after using the toilet at about 6.20am, waking the entire house up. with an almighty crash.

Maybe Southgate can build himself a house with his England salary and call it Casa Allardyce.

None of this would have been possible as well if it wasn't for Sam Allardyce being such a fucking reprehensible, corrupt bellend of a man. Thanks Big Sam, we owe you one.

england were by far the better team and deserved to win. i had a feeling it would go to penalties and am relieved i was wrong. the twats who boo the anthem or taking the knee can get to fuck but i bloody love this england team. look how far they've come since the iceland game under hodgson at the last euros. it's always newcastle first for me too, but there is a lot to like about the manager and the side he has put together. hard not to get carried away with it. we were lucky with the draw once again and i wouldn't be surprised if italy win - they will be the first really quality team we have met in the tournament so far.

Was a blatant pen. The ref was a proper glue sniffer

I’m over Eriksen now. He should have been on the bench last night, the tart. My mate had his gall bladder taken out on Monday and he’s kicking his height already.

To be fair, if it was anyone other than England playing, I'd have wanted Denmark to win too. As things stand though, Reddit can suck it.

It's my alarm!

I want them to win but it won't devastate me if they don't, semi final of the European championship and I was completely relaxed about it in a way I just wouldn't be if NUFC were in a semi final or pre-derby game. I think my chill must be rubbing off on the players so I'll take any credit going if we win.

I dunno. A moment that a bunch of people have waited a lifetime to see kind of feels like a time for the exact opposite of perspective to me. It's like trying to halt a goal celebration for being "a bit much guys, OK?"

You are so fucking weird

To be fair like, Isegrim and ewerk can be as negative as they like in whatever thread they like (they haven't necessarily been btw, it's all good laughs for the most part). It's not their jobs to be positive when England win. As we established last night, their job when England win and reach major finals, is to munch my plums. My main issue was with Renton finding it "literally impossible" to enjoy, but also to even comprehend the enjoyment of a moment that most of us had never seen (and for the most part probably assumed we never would see) until last night.

Seen this before, no wonder the Knight is chucking beer around watching England, he even wore his England shirt at a Newcastle United cup final!
