Southgates awful tactics. Bring on 2 just to take pens and they both miss. Took Henderson off for some reason who can take a pen and doesn’t pick grealish as one of the five. Awful management. What is his thing about bringing a sub in just to take them off?! Got to the final on the luck of the draw ...

The away bench should be an old plank of wood with nails in it.

I gave up after 30 seconds when it wouldn't let me have “Brentford Community stadium”. Apparently according to the quiz it is just “community stadium” which is wrong. I will take no part in any quiz that is poorly done and can’t even get the answers right!

England playing in all white looks daft. Need dark blue shorts.

Why are the club creating more seats for hospitality when before covid they couldn’t even fill all the hospitality seats they had? The back of the Jimmy Mac lower was always sparse. In a few years the ground is going to be high priced hospitality seats that are a 10th full. Makes no sense. Is this t...

Not in this tournament no only a 1 game ban, and he may not have even played in their next game anyway, but it'll still be a blow to Rob Page that's for sure. So hypothetically being on a yellow card and picking up a soft second yellow for a mistimed challenge or pulling someone back results in the...

The commentary was better when it switched away from the BBC and went to whoever it was. Savage is doing my head in.

Typical Spain this is, pass it about nicely but have nothing at all up Top.

Penalty all day long that - he made a movement towards the opponent and failed to play the ball - but it's one of those penalties that are hardly ever given. Anywhere else on the pitch it is a free kick and a yellow card all day long, but for some reason the laws of the game are different in the bo...

thelaughingclaret

Should have probably had a penalty there, defender stepped across and blocked him. The bar set by VAR at this tournament is very high. I think it would have to be a truly catastrophic error before they will even check something.

thelaughingclaret

5 for me. 1-0 Czechs!
The Czechs must have some good players if a regular for a premier league side can only make the bench.

I remember the problem with the old Wembley was that one half was always in the shade, hence they rotated it?

I have heard this myth that they rotated the stadium 90 degrees fairly often and I have no idea where it has come from. The pitch was not rotated.

Is VAR not in use? That was blatantly never a pen. It was a clear and obvious error from Taylor yet nothing!

Some people seem to thing going abroad is a human right. It is not. Wether you are visiting family abroad or not is irrelevant. You do not have the right to go into any country you choose and then be accepted straight back into the UK. If you can not go 1/2 years without going abroad then you have s...

As much as I detest cat 1 clubs being able to play an U23 side in the competition I think if we are able to be in it we should be. Would provide invaluable experience for our youth players development to be playing in competitive games against professionals.

thelaughingclaret

Apparently punching someone in the head is OK now yet standing behind someone whilst they throw themselves to the floor is a foul! Shocking afternoon by all the officials. If VAR was used it probably wouldn't have changed anything. As we have seen this season VAR is just used to back up the on field...

I thought the use of VAR here was bad but it seems worse in Europe.

According to Leeds fans on twitter it is ok to be racist if you are a bit of a joker and get provoked. Good to know! How anyone can defend and condone that gesture and behaviour is beyond me. I am disgusted. And if you can’t see anything wrong with that gesture and what it could be interpreted as, a...

The sun have picked up on Alioski. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.the-sun.com/sport/premier-league/2892959/burnley-leeds-rodrigo-premier-league-bielsa/amp/ Also Leeds fans are saying in twitter that McNeil was the one who said something racist to Alioski and that McNeil spat at Alioski. I don’t ...

Was Alioski making a monkey face at Mcneil? I really hope not. I am NOT accusing him of anything I am just saying what I saw. I am sure he is a nice lad and a good laugh as the commentators said. I am sure we will find out later. And I am really surprised the commentators where laughing at it withou...

Who is this female commentator on BT? Some of the most biased commentary I have ever heard.

<t>The media base the size of a club on how much money they spend, therefore palace are the bigger club. Bournemouth were a bigger club in the medias eyes than us as were the likes of Sunderland and Hull and look where that got them. <br/> If Dyche does go it would be interesting to see how getting ...

Being born in 95 it is 9/11 for me.

That disallowed goal was shocking. They only showed one quick reply of it from a bad angle but it didn’t look like the whole of the ball was out. They usually have an angle looking right along the goal line for goal line technology but I presume sky and VAR chose to pretend that camera angle didn’t ...

As stated on my telly the goalie illegally played the back pass with his hand so if Smith Rowe had missed it would’ve been indirect free kick on the line. Interesting! Would Kepa have been sent off as well? Denying a goal? Or does that not count for keepers? VAR wouldn’t have give it anyway as it i...

Isn’t refs using VAR just to back up the on field official mates by purposely ignoring things and making the rules up as they go along not a form of match fixing? Also what happened to using the pitch side monitors? This is fast becoming a scandal. It reeks. I would love to know how the recovering d...

Gone for Ben in the end. Turned our season around. Special mention though for Lowton who I think has had a decent season.

Conceded in the 97th minute to draw with Wimbledon tonight. They need a miracle or three now. That was their opportunity to put pressure on wigan.

5 subs will be the norm soon enough. The big clubs will threaten to leave again and the FA will lie down and let them have their way. They went from 1 sub to 2 and then 3 relatively quickly, the next step is 5, and soon enough in a few decades time it will be 11/unlimited number of subs. If that is ...

As long as we aren’t one of the other 23 clubs I’ll be happy.

Are the club really that desperate for more hospitality seats when the hospitality at the back of the Jimmy Mac is never even close to full? Something doesn’t add up there. If they want more hospitality why not extend the cricket field end of the Bob lord at the back like they have done at the club ...

At some point soon the big clubs will demand that either the premier league goes down to 18 clubs or the league cup goes. The big teams already complain about having to play too many games now, and with the champions league having more games in a few years time it is only going to make their crys lo...

Glad it has collapsed. We don’t need a new midweek competition for the big clubs, what we need is a new Saturday league for them. Make this super league a Saturday league, get them out of the prem and they can take their money with them, and then english football can go back to what it once was. Hav...

Now the ESL idea is over for another year or two I am expecting the big six to push for an expanded champions league meaning the League cup will end (or at least will end for clubs in Europe) to give room to stuff more European games in. Think the league cups days are certainly now numbered.

thelaughingclaret

So glad that game is now over. Seemed to go on for weeks. Absolutely dire.
Chelsea are pathetic. Did they really think they are superior to the rest of the premier league? On that showing they look like what they are, a selfish bunch of average individuals.

Any club with huge debt can just go into administration, get 10 points deducted and then carry on as they were. It is a joke but it is what it is. Basically do as you want.

Newcastle showed how making substitutions can win a game. If Dyche was Newcastle manager they wouldn’t have won that game. We were crying out for someone like cork in midfield on Sunday. Dyches reluctance to use substitutes costs us a lot of points over a season.

Was expecting this to be an RIP thread. Me thinks the OP did this on purpose. Git.

We can not defend against anyone with any pace, we can not defend a counter attack. We have no pace anywhere, midfield is shocking. This is what happens when you have a squad where most of your defenders and midfielders are pushing 30 or are over 30. We made it easier for newcastle. All the had to d...

We are in trouble I feel. Anything but a win next weekend and then things will look bleak. Fulham are going to stay up, it is between us and newcastle I feel, and at the moment Newcastle look the netter side.

I am so glad Burnley don’t **** about at the back like that. Just asking for trouble. You have to play to your strengths.

If social media accounts of a football player are nothing at all to do with the football player and tweets have nothing at all to do with them, then why did Andre Gray get a ban for an old tweet? Could he not have claimed it was one of his social media ‘team’? If Burnley fc or any other company twee...

Football is a cut throat business. Anyone who works in football know they could be out of a job very quickly. Sentiment means nothing, which is exactly how it should be in business. It is about being successful not making friends. If you as a fan want the club to move forwards then don’t cry when th...

Rob Hawthorne Was awful. Saying things like “it’s a game everton should win” and “they need to get back in this” shows the bias.
The refs are biased too by not given is a blatant penalty but at the end of the day we won. That is all that matters.

thelaughingclaret

Dyche would get the best out of him for sure. If another premier league side is interested in him then we will lose out. We simply can’t compete.
