Hearing that loads of England fans have taken a sick day after staying up late last night.
Woke, snowflake nonsense.
I stayed up for 24 hours, sunk 10 pints and am happily off to work.
These tube trains won’t drive themselves.

If only that Wan-Bissaka bloke had been born in Croydon, he'd be a great fit for England.

[Sean McCormick @S_McCormick95]

England have gone from having more quality right-backs than they know what to do with, and our wide options being the envy of the world, to Djed Spence and Noni Madueke being our right-hand side in a World Cup knockout round match. Pair of them a shambles there for the goal.

[Ed Acteson @Ed_Acteson]

Deschamps has brashly taken all of his best players and fashioned them into the most lethal attacking unit in world football, sure.

But do they have the squad balance, leadership and cohesion provided by the likes of Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson and Anthony Gordon? I think not.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Steve Bray blasting Ode to Joy, ruining nationally historic moments like this for us and posterity, is a complete disgrace. A yob.

[Michael Simmons @Simmons__]

Is it unreasonable to expect him to be prepared already given all the fuss he’s made?

[Philip Matthews @PMatthews96]

@tartanmarvel89 Your bio identifies you as ‘left wing,’ yet you seem filled with disgust for working class ppl, and all over a football game.

[Philip Matthews @PMatthews96]

@AFrazzledScot Most of Scot-Nat identity is anglophobia, which is a shame for a nation with such proud history

[Philip Matthews @PMatthews96]

So, going into the World Cup, England’s first choice RW is Madueke whilst Bowen, Palmer, Foden stay home

[DailyAFC @DailyAFC]

Bukayo Saka CAN’T start and finish matches for England right now due to the achilles issue he was managing this season. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❌ [@SkySportsNews]

@Victoria_Spratt Most of Dutch are in uni on their 3rd masters degree till 30, might have some impact in the figures

[Ant Moss @Ant_Mossarelli]

I’m watching the #England game. And I’m not seeing it with Bellingham, sorry. I’m not seeing what he can do that Rogers can’t… but I am seeing an awful lot that Rogers does much better than him. Rogers improves this team, I have no doubt. #3Lions

[Quentin Letts @thequentinletts]

Jim Allister (N Antrim) asked H. Benn what would be done to 'stop the importation of an alien culture that thinks it's appropriate to try to behead someone'. Benn regretted the term 'alien culture', adding 'what exactly is he referring to?' Unionists, exasperated: 'Beheading!'

[Octavian 🇪🇺 @posta_octavian]

Yes, without Britain, there would be no steam engine, steam trains, telephones, parliamentarism, modern constitutionalism, English as the lingua france, penicillin, end of the slave trade, ATMs, logarithms, Shakespeare, the theory of evolution and so much more.

In 1000 years, once we have gotten over neurotic jealously and third worlidsm, people will look at Britain with more admiration than we look at Ancient Greece today. It is quite evidently the greatest nation the world has ever seen. It's not even particularly close.

@jeetsidhu_ Ah ok, guess it was ok to murder him then

[Philip Matthews @PMatthews96]

@BritIndianVoice It’s not really true to say that ppl are looking to ‘ban’ the Kirpan beyond the way in which all other lethal weapons are already banned - the point is to remove the special exemption which allows Sikhs to carry blades when other groups are not, i.e., equal application of the law

[EastAnglian @EastAnglian4]

@MatthewStadlen @BenedictSpence What is French culture, German culture, Japanese culture? Are you seriously saying you don’t think they have anything distinctive about them? Or is British culture uniquely indefinable, or non-existent?

[Kate Mason @kvlmason]

Sorry to get all rules police here but. On the penalty that Spurs were (yet again) not given. When Cucurella bundles Van de Ven to the ground (for which a foul was given - which in the area means penalty) the ball was in play. The rule is: the ball is in play once it is kicked..

[Philip Matthews @PMatthews96]

@AdamRamsay This isn’t someone who was born overseas and has taken citizenship with an intention to stay permanently. This is someone on a student visa with no proper ties to / stake in future of Scotland. They should not have this sort of influence on nation’s future.

[Aris Roussinos @arisroussinos]

Despite evidence of localised cult practices in northwestern England, historians doubt the existence of a historical Andy Burnham, instead viewing him as a mythical saviour figure appealed to only in times of great trial and desperation

[Tim Stanley @timothy_stanley]

I enjoyed that reset speech. See you on Thursday for the next one.
