Two years after the Southport murderous terrorism my opinion remains the same.
Rudakubana should be put to death for what he did to those little girls.
So, the rules are if you have right wing views and post incitement to violence to almost no followers you go to jail instantly.
If you do so as the leader of a left wing party with one of the biggest social followings in the UK, you don’t even have to apologise.
Britain, 2026.
Imagine getting to interview one of the greatest minds of our generation. The richest guy in the world… and you spend the whole interview lecturing him on why he is wrong and telling him that people loathe him.
This is an embarrassment for legacy media.
Thomas Tuchel was appointed so England won the big games. The tactics and the substitutions after taking the lead failed miserably. Trying to hold on to a lead, inviting constant pressure for half an hour. If this had been Gareth Southgate…
There was no attacking threat after Gordon scored. Awful.
Thanks for the memories.
So you mean to tell me England had two Pep Guardiola Man City centre-backs, a £300m+ midfield three, a £117m right winger who lives in the pockets, a left winger who’s just signed for Barcelona, and arguably the world’s best striker who drops deep… yet couldn’t control possession against any team that put half a press on, that’s mental.
Tuchel’s got blood on his hands
It must be so frustrating for the players that England are here again. Thomas Tuchel said he ‘no regrets’ but he surely knows that the first World Cup final in 60 years was within grasp.
In that second half we seemed to do EXACTLY what Argentina wanted us to do…
We were a goal up
They had both their centre halves on yellow cards
They were worried about us running at them with pace
They were struggling to maintain possession in the final 3rd
We retreated
We never put them under pressure
We took off the men who could harm them and replaced them with defenders
We gifted them the ball in the final 3rd
Wayne Rooney said afterwards that the players will have disagreed with what the manager was trying to do.
It was there for England… Argentina were creaking.
Scaloni made good substitutions but we opened the door.
This was about tactics not talent.
I think the issue is gaz did an amazing job making us consistently better but he came under fire for some “negative and cautious “ decisions . His replacement has come into a much more stable setup with the job of improving on that , and then made the most amateur , negative tactical mistake most of us can remember .
What good decisions has he made ?
He got the squad selection wrong
Left us with no right back which you could argue left us a man down v Mexico
Players battled through Mexico game but better team punishes - as seen with arg
Made the biggest tactical retreat we have ever seen and blown the game far worse than Southgate ever did
Struggled through the whole tourney against poor poor teams and went out to first decent side
Won a friendly France didn’t want to play
Complained we lack players who can keep ball when leaving all the ball players on bench or at home
It’s been woeful
Thomas Tuchel was appointed for that last 30 minutes. We were told that it would be different from the knockout king and we got tactical cowardice. And if he really has no regrets, he can leave now.

Mad how this World Cup had Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann teams all blaze out while the final is between two teams managed by guys whose professional club management experience *combined* is 11 games at Alaves 15 years ago.
Got exactly what we deserved. I genuinely can’t get over what we’ve seen from Tuchel there. This feels so much worse than Croatia, Italy, Spain.
It was right there for England, playing well, leading, great options on the bench and he’s just completing botched it tactically. Thrown the initiative away and gone out in pretty pathetic style.
So disappointing.
England have had many painful moments during 60 years of hurt - but the World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina might be the most painful of all. Tuchel was appointed to show he was the anti-Southgate who would win big games. He failed when it counted. https://t.co/ZXLCUTFFKT
@NickRTFM He’s worse than Southgate. Southgate inherited a shocking England camp post Iceland . He made mistakes , but never so impactful as Argentina .
Tuchel was supposed to be the guy who got us over the line. In Atlanta, he saw the line and he shrank away from it. Sat back and invited Argentina on. Is that really all he's got?
I genuinely think them last 25 minutes of England-Argentina was one of the worst coaching displays we’ve ever witnessed
It couldn’t have made less sense 😂
