    Even if it works I just don't think it's a risk worth taking. What if this bunch win and he's then 8 players plus the 8 he's dropped to keep happy and somehow make it work for knockout stages

    Second choice back line is baffling to me. The first 2 games there was little to do. Walker is playing out of position so individually would have benefitted from an extra game against better oppo as would the entire first choice unit. Bizarre. Early stages we look lethargic and lacking in attacking vitality which the omitted players brought to the first 2 games.

    Exactly mate I just don't get why so many changes. Even if he'd made two or three and give them the first half he could have tweaked at half time

    Martinez has done his homework. Pressurise the English defenders as they try to play from the back. There's a rick there waiting to happen. Rashford however is class.

  5. Editorial in the Torygraph today "the flag of St George is a far more lovely standard than it's Belgian counterpart a plain old tricolour". Is this really what we're coming to?

    I don’t think some dickhead editor at the Torygraph speaks for the entire nation Dan

    England 2nd Eleven doing ok, just Loftus-Cheek frustrating at times as he so often gets caught in possession in promising situations.

    And it's bollox anyway. Nothing wrong with the black, yellow and red combo. Stupid comment by ****in idiot journalist who's been over exposed to the sun in this recent heatwave.

  9. Oh sorry - I genuinely didn't mean that. Just think anyone making a comment like that in national media is beyond sad.

    Agreed, especially one that thinks it's a serious paper.

    Bearing in mind you have a seven year old niece I doubt you can remember the bubble gum playing cards featuring International flags. Loved when you swapped these cards or sometimes got the one everybody knew was scarce.

    I've grown dislike our flag somwhat due to its association to what are known round my end as Jeremy Kylers and their use of it as some racial identity and God given birth right to reside in this country

    Talking of the 'Kyle c**t' did anyone catch the two Scottish numpties on the show either yesterday or Tuesday? Do not watch the smug f****r as a rule however if, when channel hopping, I hear a Scottish accent I cannot help myself.

    I wonder if, when you hear two a-holes with your local accent, you feel they are even more dopey or is it just some Scottish accents.

    Not just you thinking that mate I hate hearing Yorkshire people on TV we sound thick as ****. I mean I'm not saying we sound any better in person before anyone comments but sounds worse hearing it on telly

    Think the smug smartarse picks 'targets' who are likely to babble the greatest load of crap in the worst accents from each region in the UK!

    Would make my day if the security punters stepped aside and allowed some thug to give Jeremy a doin'.

    Feels very strange to me wanting England to lose 1-0 as i see Colombia then Sweden or Switzerland as a good run to the SF where i think we will fall to Spain.
