adios

Well, I would think NATO without America and they can get the fuck off our lawn.

Calm down.

Why would I want to get the taste out?

Hopefully they don't cheer themselves up the same way as last time.

Why have you laid a foundation for a fucking giant cheese?

No they spent all their time self-flagellating because they're kinky bitches.

Well I'm glad I decided to go incognito for that. Might have to give it a proper "look" later on.

Because you piqued my interest, @zerosum: So there you have it; his nominative ancestor/s either didn't drink alcohol, did drink alcohol or drank water. I like the original explanation though.

Although most people won't see it while Rafa's in charge of lowly Newcastle, I think he's proven in the last couple of seasons that he's still world-class. No one's going to argue with him being a better manager than Southgate. Doesn't mean he's not worthy of investing some faith in.

This, too. I think there's plenty for him to work on but the reaction of some just reminds me of the perennial attitude of England fans going back to '98 burning effigies of Beckham and his demonisation in the press after that sending off. Great while they're in; scapegoating and lynchings before the final whistle even blows.

Absolutely this. Was thinking it all game.

Don't worry about it, pet, sleep it off and all the tabloids will affirm you in the morning.

If he doesn't take my advice on that crywank, he's missing out.

The Quiff can't agree with himself tbf.

Go soak your dick in tears and knock it out of your system.

Aye, seems like it. You're not being controversial here, you're reading from the same old tired script.

Because you're being a big, bald vagina.

You're either on the wind-up or you need to go have a good cry to get it out of your system.

Aye.

Which is why none of the managers you've had in 20 years have done anything with an England side. ETA: I think it was Andrew who mentioned the golden balls generation. This squad (and player pool) is considerably worse, so what's made the difference?

RTÉ pundits were on their side for most of it though they thought Croatia deserved in on balance. The reaction to this may well be the reason it's hard for people (including reasonable English people) to get behind them.

Fucking hell; give him some time.

Sterling has grown into the tournament and was excellent in the first half, Lingard has been one of England's best players. Alli is a cunt so I can't judge him remotely objectively. Your use-by date clearly far gone on the old noggin anyway but I hope you're with us for many more.

In the first half?
