Group stage tickets so far but conditionally guaranteed the rest. Doing the Eurostar there and back on 15th-17th June. Flying home and back out there on 1st-4th. If I end up using that flight on the 4th (meaning we’ve won in the R16) I will probably stay there then until we’re out. Got a hotel booked in Essen from 15th-1st and will probably book it again if we win the group and get through to the quarters. You got any concrete plans?

Piqued my interest when I heard about it but not enough to actually go and see it. Any good?

It’s entertaining enough, but too long and tries to cram in too many events and Big Themes, when a character study of Southgate would have been a lot more interesting (Joseph Fiennes is excellent playing him). A few cringe moments as well - not one of James Graham’s best imo. If you’re not a fan of Southgate’s then it would be unbearable.

Preliminary Squad announced today.

You’d think with Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Rice, Stones, Walker & Trippier we have a great chance. The likes of Palmer, Grealish and Madison off the bench. Hope he plays Trent, gives england something different but Gareth doesn’t like him.
A few questions about the defence but I personally quite like Mcguire, think you need a player like him for England.

Could be a memorable summer

Some truly world class players going forwards & in the middle......balanced with some truly bang average defenders.

Hopefully Gareth is brave for once & adopts the "we're gonna score one more than you" philosophy....

....but I won't hold my breath.....

Not sure that Grealish and Maddison have done enough tbh. Grealish at least has a decent pedigree at major tournaments, but Gordon, Eze and Palmer have done brilliantly in positions where we already have a logjam.

Is it too late to sack Southgate? I would imagine the squad will be underwhelming like his time in the job. The players available are top level with a third division manager

Surely will be. Another quarter or semi final exit against the first decent side we face while playing boring football and he'll just keep on going.

Not sure why Dier isn’t nailed on for a seat on the plane personally - every week starter for Bayern, plays in two positions where we’re weak, experienced at international tournaments, trusted by the manager…

You have to respect Southgate’s long game, lulling the competition into a false sense of security by picking the same squad for three consecutive tournaments and then naming a Liverpool/Palace combined XI for the Euros.

Hearing there's been some late inclusions of journalists caught arseing around at the back of the press conference, Southgate likes their style.

I heard he wants to focus the press conference on his grand plan to play Rice, Bellingham and Mainoo ALL as holding midfielders…

Is that a world class midfield? Or defence? (Yes, I know the categories are fluid)
