@mriordan__ @webster5_ethan Because you think it was purely a philosophical tactical decision to limit our attacks. It was a tactic of necessity, because we weren't good enough to sustain attacking pressure. The individuals in our midfield were never the standard of the opposition under Southgate

[Simon Blundell @simonblundell91]

@mriordan__ @webster5_ethan We'd have given our right arm for a poor performance that reached a quarter final pre-southgate. Endless English arrogance to think we should be miles ahead of everyone we play

[Simon Blundell @simonblundell91]

@mriordan__ @webster5_ethan Classic English perspective. "Struggled" to two finals and a semi, when we'd barely made a quarter final in the previous 25 years

Peut être possible d'arrêter de lui rappeler que sa fille est morte à chaque fois qu'il remporte un titre. S'il le fait de lui-même et qu'il veut en parler, très bien, mais quand c'est les journalistes qui en parlent en premier, que c'est crade.

@ConnorF1878 We gave them quite a lot of windows to be fair

The man risked his life as a RAF fighter pilot in WWII only be slandered as an "antisemite" because he dared to criticize Israel's conduct in Lebanon.

@tmofficially @Footballtweet @MikeKeegan_DM It's the same number of games, but, using your logic, will allow clubs to maintain momentum built from gameweek 6 forward rather than lose that to the previously scheduled October international break. It's just a riff on what already exists

"this idea of fairness, that we're all equal in the eyes of the law, but actually the Royal family have extraordinary protections & exemptions.. lets actually be more honest about the royal family not being like us"

When you book a royal historian rather than a royal commentator

They spent all week trying to tell us they'd beat 2008 Manchester United and couldn't even beat 2026 Manchester United. 😭

@peteroscoe @ShehabKhan Many weren't adults when they agreed to take the loan. Which is another pernicious angle for these loans

[Simon Blundell @simonblundell91]

@peteroscoe @hazabaijan @bananaintherama @ShehabKhan The issues are fairly intertwined. If you think they should be paid more, why not remove the loan to achieve that pay rise in real terms.

@Danny9Panels @lakedodgesteel @charliedlbGK1 @EnglandOnOurWay @EnglidsAway We're hosting the euros in two years time. Huge amounts of supporters will go to every match England are involved in. This won't be considered strange in this continent and it shouldn't be considered strange in yours.

[Free Lions @WeAreFreeLions]

We have been concerned about pricing for participating nations for months now and have been raising these concerns with Football Supporters Europe and our FA. The early trends were worrying and it is devastating to see those concerns turn reality with the release of England’s prices for the World Cup.

ESTC members have followed England loyally throughout this campaign, from Barcelona to Belgrade, Riga to Tirana, multiple midweek trips to Wembley, as well as the caps built from the Euro 2024 campaign, all to back the team to make the World Cup.

These prices are a slap in the face to supporters who support their team outside of the flagship tournament that appears every four years.

To call the Category 3 tickets, the cheapest available to ESTC members, “Supporter Value Category 3” that comes at a cost of $7020 if you want to follow England from start to finish, is laughable.

A game for supporters, loyalty has been thrown out of the window and supporters of the participating nations have been completely let down.

@Kdaray45 @leedsnoinfidel Shift the goalposts if you want mate, but If you think England Germany in the knockouts of a major international tournament isn't a "big" game, I'm not sure football's for you 😂

@leedsnoinfidel Yeah I don't think there are many realistic scenarios where Bellingham doesn't start over Rodgers

But he needs to play a role that supports Kane, which will likely involve the dirty work of doing his pressing and making runs beyond him, hence needing to earn his place.
