The defending there. Stands and waits Lascelles.

Whoa

Logged in for pre match for the first time in years and regretted it, to have this prick sprout absolute shite. Have rarely heard him actually speak, because why would you?, what a smirk little deluded man.

That little turd in the end that just wont go down the drain. The tower of shite that's taken its sweet time coming out the hole went down the toilet fast enough, yet left a lingering sign of the stink that had been around for so long. Well, even the final turd will go down with the 2nd or 3rd flush. And then you can well and truly take a brush to the bowl and a warm wipe to the arse.

Also looking forward to the Toontastic welcome for all the new fans that will be coming in

Slightly annoying that Bruce's departure will be painted as being due to the takeover. He's certainly gone for that with his comments, and the media will go with it. By all rights he should be sacked for the horrendous results and performances alone that he's gotten.

So strange the words coming out of the 'club' now. Ambition, trophies, investment? What the fook are those things? Even the official Twitter handle seems to have gotten a rocket up its arse.

This cannot be real. Oh the fat man has goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Pitch invasion at SJP apparently

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I know they are right, but at this stage, a big to Amnesty International as well. Where does all this reform talk go when there is no takeover or NUFC are not involved ffs? There has to be equity.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Not start 7 defense minded outfield players perhaps? There is a natural tendency to defend leads in every team, but keeping possession and having a more fluid midfield can help with that. Chielini was quite literally making runs down the left flank ffs because there was nothing to worry him at the other end.

Most neutrals like to be entertained. The moment I saw England's formation yesterday I wanted Italy to win. It was entirely predictable as well. I know people have a bunch of other silly reasons as well though

Was brilliant to see. And very much deserved. What a shithouse of a final though Chielini's tackle x 90 minutes

Tough luck lads, getting that close after all this time. You have to give credit to Southgate and the team for getting nearly there, but I completely agree with those saying there has to be a change in mentality and tactics to get the maximum potential from this squad. There are some clear differences in the England squad from some earlier ones. A more united, driven, passionate and down to earth bunch of lads. There are some similarities as well, and they mostly have to do with the mindset and tactics. A familiar cautious, safety first approach, players that seem to be playing with shackles at times. And that is down to Southgate of course. The danger is, because he now has gotten this close, he might think its worth sticking too again. It almost worked this time but.. Your traditional international powerhouses, Germany, Brazil, Italy, France etc. They have had some pretty spectacular failures in recent years haven't they? From not qualifying for major tournaments to embarrassing early exits and huge defeats. Yet they're back and winning something again within the next few years. Fear of failure doesn't stop them from backing their best players and taking a chance. England always seem to qualify, move past the group stages only to lose by the odd goal or on penalties. No spectacular failure, and no trophies. Always a restrained, shackled team that seems to be playing in 3rd gear. Southgate is not the man to change this. Playing at Wembley in a final, with your best squad in many years, and you choose to play 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders. Says it all really. Predictably someone like Chiesa was the most ambitious player on the pitch rather than Sterling or Grealish or Sancho. With this squad, there is a slight chance Southgate might deliver a Greece/Portugal style tournament victory in the next 3 years, and which England fan wouldn't take that. But there is a chance to build a truly great team with these players, a chance to rival the best for years to come.

Aye Just remembering that is more exciting than anything we've done on the pitch over the last couple of seasons.

Having all those buddies in the media cant hurt.

What a wanker. How can someone with ties to the city and who's been in football this long get the fans so little? Mind you with his record keeping anybody in the league would be a massive achievement so for him that's as big as it gets. It was always going to come to this, we all knew it. Now the slow dreadful wait till things get so bad even Ashley has to get rid of him and make the next inspiring appointment.

Even then he had he odd goal about him and could cause some nuisance in the box with his presence. Joelinton cant even sort his legs out man, he seems lost when he has the ball. As poor a player as any we've seen put on the shirt. Agree with the the others on Joelinton and Hendrick. Almiron has to start ahead of Joelinton, hoofball could be the only barely justifiable reason in Bruce's head of starting him. Hendrick is completely useless on the wings. Cant see what else he offers other than graft, Fraser looked like a far better bet when he came on. Watched a game properly after a long while, didnt have much else to do last night It was much better than we've seen recently. First 25 minutes were quite good actually, decent movement and pressing off the ball. After that the difference was ASM and Wilson really, with odd moments of quality from Shelvey. The first 2 will keep us up if they stay fit.
