    Well if England can somehow beat Spain we will deserve to be Champions <applause>

    First major tournament win for the men outside England.
    Not quite as historic as 1966 - after all that was the World Cup.
    But a great achievement nonetheless.
    Southgate will have brought it home.

    And if Spain have too much for us well that's no disgrace.
    As long as the lads play as well as they can.

    31 years after that horrible albino Koeman cheated, fouled David Platt, knocked England out of the WC and cost Graham Taylor his job ….karma bit him on the arse.

    It was never a penalty last night but hey … fvuck you Koeman <cheers>

    I have to admit Southgate got it spot on last night. A terrific achievement by all involved. We will certainly give Spain a run for their money. Watkins must start ahead of Kane, whose legs have gone.

    As a quirk of fate, I'll have to miss the final, as I'll be watching Richard Ashcroft at Kew Gardens. Typical.

    Make sure he’s still playing - I heard a comedian cancelled his gig on Sunday to watch the footy :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Half the Country will be closed on Monday whether England win or lose.

    Those celebrating or drowning their sorrows, spare a thought for workers in essential services who will not be taking any time off.

    Having been in one of the essential services I knew what I was signing up for and it didn’t bother me working Christmas, New year, birthdays etc etc it was always on a rota anyway which meant you wouldn’t Kop it every year

    I hope you will be taking Monday off Lardi ?

    If only to compose a suitably melancholic post when we win.

    I'll be working on Monday.
    But I expect a lot of my colleagues will be absent.

    As you're aware I'm not really that interested in International football.
    It will be a boost to win, will cheer some folk up. Good for National pride.
    But I expect Spain will triumph.
    Their women's team beat ours recently if I recall correctly.

    On a serious level, doing what you did deserves respect, putting your life at risk many times for the sake of others:emoticon-0137-clapp.

    But.....................you're still a cock.

    Mad Dicky has brought the gig forward by two hours, meaning us mere mortals can watch the match (or at least most of it). Hurrah!

    UEFA is examining a proposal to limit Euro 2028 exclusively to 8 countries.

    A genuine elite tournament.

    The countries are:

    England
    Spain
    Germany
    Italy
    Holland
    Portugal
    Croatia
    Belgium

    Can you imagine how good this tournament would be.

    The paper making this proposal has the working title “F uck the Rubbish Off” and was written by me.
