Not a huge fan of signing Bright if some of the things he’s done in the past are true i.e. skipping training and team meetings. That said, we’ll probably get to sign him on a cheap contract, he’s 23 and I’m hoping Robins can sort him out. Hoping it works out, but not very optimistic about this.

In a minority here, but England. The reality is that if we got promoted, we’d probably get relegated straight away whereas winning the Euros would immortalise a group of players. If we were guaranteed to stay in the top flight for 30+ years like last time, that might change my thinking. The...

Good signing, happy with that!

With the World Cup being next year, it’s very good for momentum and then the following Euros in 2024. Looking at the squad, most of them will be around for the next 6-10 years at least. The only area of ‘concern’ we have is developing future world class central defenders.

I think their manager making all those subs early prevented the game from being ended within 90 minutes. It was also a shrewd move from Southgate to make the one sub in normal time. We were in complete control in extra time and that was epitomised by the way we just kept the ball for a few...

We could caveat that, but anyone watching the game would have felt we had the beating of Denmark from around the 70th minute. They defended well, but we passed on 2-3 really good attacking opportunities when we were 2-1 up. It’s an academic point to make, but I believe we would have scored...

The stattos at Goldman Sachs reckon we have a 58% chance of winning and are predicting England to win in extra time. They predicted 2-1 v Denmark and the same for Sunday. I have had a few disagreements with mates on this, but Italy haven’t looked that good in the knockout stages. Their...

I think that’s because it hasn’t been much of a rivalry for them. We beat them for the first time since 1966 in that tie. The odd friendly win or qualification humiliation doesn’t make up for beating you in knockout games. The reaction in Germany has been that the loss hurt them a lot. If we...

Personally, I think we’ll play 3-4-3 for the final. Walker’s recovery runs will be key to counter their counter attacking threat. Then again, is Trippier needed to counter the attacking threat down the left hand flank now Spinazzola is injured?

So no one to make us sit up and worry about. They beat us back in 2020. No fans present, a rotated squad and a red card after 30 minutes. The Danes are the ‘people’s team’ with everything they’ve gone through as a team. You have to admire how they’ve bounced back from Eriksen incident, but...

Who have Denmark beaten to get to this stage? Peter Schmeichel calling Denmark the favourites must’ve been a joke. Frankly, if we approach the game as we have the others, we ought to win. Denmark will have long range shots and will be a set piece threat. 2-0 England.

I thought it was quite an arrogant response. German arrogance going into the tie with us went well for them...

I’d be happy if they were our 4 striking options. Waghorn will have to prove that last season was a blip, but the rest of those strikers have proved they can perform at Championship level. Walker and Godden had a lot to work through last season with injury/illness. As for Gyo, had a v promising...

Every year the Euros/World Cup comes and goes, I always try to get England tickets and the prices are ridiculous. I really want to go to Euro 2024 to Germany, like I went to France in 2016, but this time I want to watch England play their games. The only way to achieve this goal is join the...

The time to have signed him was after his loan period ended. Since then, he’s not done anything, for anyone. For whatever reason, Bright just hasn’t got what it takes to make it at a good level. Wasted talent.

Club v Country is a silly debate for me. At Uni, I felt disconnected to Club because we were struggling, not going to games because I lived hundreds of miles away. Likewise, after 2014 and 2016, I lost interest in watching the England games too. Fair play to Southgate, we’re actually a team...

The only concern to be has about the defence was if Maguire wasn’t fit and able to return. The whole back line yesterday have all had great seasons. Even before the tournament, we had an impressive sheet record. The exception being Pickford who has been reliable for England. We’ve had a...

Last night was a very professional performance and I love that Southgate has shushed the naysayers. Three semi finals in 3 years, that's huge.

It’s almost like the group stages do not matter as long as you get out of them...

No one in the Championship or even League 1 would agree with that.
