I know theres a lot of left leaning commentary in here but what comes of the Conservatives next? There's not many to choose from, Badenoch and Braverman will surely want to throw their hand in but there must be some more credible candidates. I say this because I don't want to see the likes of those or Farage, leading an opposition.

On reflection, whilst the polls indicate the Tory implosion rather than the Labour explosion, I think Labour have played a very straight bat during this election. No gaffes, kept all sides quiet. There's been no big statement promises but I hope Starmer just gets on with the job of fixing the big holes in the country in the same way that he's tidied up the Labour party since 2019. I'm all for dull politics for the next 4 or 5 years if it means we move away from the populist nonsense that is gaining traction on the other side. It's been mentioned that the new government will be the most working class cabinet EVER therefore I hope we see a new kind of politics which GENUINELY focuses on bottom up rather than top down.

Does Alistair Campbell sleep? I left him on C4 last night in the early hours and woke up this morning and he's still on!?

I think some of these Portuguese players can't wait to see the end of the Ronaldo show.

Given the upset on twitter over the sale of Anderson, can you imagine how bad it would have been had we had Twitter in January 1995?

Who are we landing next, 3rd choice striker maybe?

So is Kvaratskhelia

Zero chance of anything really changing against the Swiss, Southgate will still play the same 9 or 10 players (he's got to swap out Guehi)

As well as the previous 3 games with the same tactics and players.

Foden and Bellingham have been absolutely dogshit, Foden seems to be hiding behind the defenders.

Clueless.

Id imagine Gordon would be getting death threats from the blue half of Merseyside if that came true.

We don't need two holding players. We could have easily coped with Rice and the others going forward if Stones had stepped into the midfield in possession. I did think the first game would be a blip but it was actually better than this effort, they don't look like they've ever trained together. Zero plan.

No Gordon in these subs.

Shearer giving Bellamy full credit for extending his career.

Best game so far.

We were interested in this lad. He'll be too expensive now.

We got 3 points on the board against a a Serbian side who have dangerous players such as Mitro, Vlahovic and Mil Savic (not going to attempt the full spelling) and yet the media are pouring over it as if we were beaten. It wasn't the best 2nd half performance but it was job done. We could put 3 or 4 past Denmark and all of this negativity would be long forgotten about.

I have no idea on the content given I don't sub to the Athletic. What are they getting at?

I do love silly season. It was notably absent in Jan when we said the pot was dry but now we've got a few sponsors and the chance to sell a couple of players, I'm sure we will be linked with every half decent transfer opportunity. A couple of CBs, RW, ST in, Wilson, Almiron leaving would probably be good business for me. Id be sad to see Trips go, but if it was good money it would be an easy decision. We are stacked in midfield so unless someone is moving on I don't see us adding there. Full back position couple probably do with an addition. Is Targett still injured?

Yeah only got ourselves to blame for having to rely on something else. You just couldn't make that result up though.

I'm telling you we are cursed. Can't even get one of the best teams in the world to do is a favour.

Come on city!

Don't underestimate City and Man utds ability to collapse.

Man united fans delusional in thinking that it's a shrewd move with all of the vacant jobs at the minute and them moving early to secure who they want. It's an absolute shit show of a decision to announce it before a cup final and it's an early warning sign to any aspirational manager at the way that place is about to be ran. If I was McKenna (I don't think he has any gravitas for big name signings anyway) I wouldn't go near it.
