    I said it tongue in cheek, it isn't going to happen but I'd like it to.

    Thanks to @PleaseNotPoll on the spurs board for confirming a recent example:

    Ivory Coast sacked their manager after two games of the last AFCON.

    They went on to win it.

    Someone get on the blower to Ancelloti, see if he fancies a summer job.

    yep, no one giving Slovenia any credit for their defensive master-class, they were superb, came for a draw, got the draw.

    I'm convinced some people are still watching games on teletext. England are absolutely dreadful!

    Mainoo, Palmer and Gordon all looked better than who they replaced.

    They could still not have enough but would need Georgia and Turkey to win and for the third-placed team in Belgium’s group to finish on at least three points with a zero goal difference.


    So yeah.

    The fact it looked better will not register with Gareth.

    I've never bothered looking, could be.

    The last two spikes have been at the end of England games, any other time, it's when Man Utd lose lol.

    Bellingham looks shattered.

    Hasn't really done anything since the opening game.

    I'm calling it now.

    You'll win the next round against a team you should beat but although slightly improved you still look a little ****, the media hype wakes up. Big team then in the quarter and you win a really good game. It's glory and it's coming home from the media. Semi final and it's a close one VAR ****s you over and it goes to pens Trent misses the deciding pen and X (formerly Twatter) gets the ghost suits out.

    I’m guessing you’re about 14 and have no inkling of how many different ways England can find to torment their supporters?

    A couple of mediocre performances in the knockout stages? This is nothing mate, the real misery comes when we play well and inevitably lose, probably to Germany.

    Remember after the last game Walker saying, this is tournament football. You don't score 3 or 4. Next two days Austria and Portugal both score 3 <laugh>

    How about scoring 1 though Walker?

    You're reverse-Jinxing us with your anti-England energy.

    We're going to limp all the way to the final now and win by an accidental fluke in stoppage time in the final... and we're going to celebrate that fluke for the next 60 years!
