What happened to the 3rd/4th place play off game? When did they can it?
Or am I the only one who thought there was such a game taking place?

Last time they had a 3rd place play off in the Euros was 1980.
Pointless game in any tournament apart from the Olympics where the winners get the bronze medal.

Honestly welled up reading that. He’s genuinely just an incredibly good human being, and I’ve never been more proud of our nation.

Nigel Farage is taking a hammering for jumping on the Southgate bandwagon now..

I’m already nervous and the match is 25 hours away yet

I hear the runt of the Fox family is also trying to backtrack on this:

Yes I saw that, it’s great. All the politicians jumping on the bandwagon- Johnson, Patel, Farage etc, here’s what Southgate thinks of it all.

Taking football out of the equation completely Southgate just seems to be a thoroughly decent human being.

He has indeed, in one of the most humiliating climbdowns I’ve seen

Yeah definitely he seems like a great guy. It’s probably the most ‘woke’ international team which makes it a little uncomfortable for the divisive morons.

Yes all the brexit-type are banging on about that

David Conn…

Right on cue.

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s a good bit of trolling.

Yes all the brexit-type are banging on about that

So it’s more politics

 

[Grendel]

Right on cue.

Do you like Mr Conn?

Trying to matchmake again? Think Sick Boy's taken.

She’s probably as much of a football fan as Johnson.

I love the way he sticks to his guns- the knee, his views etc- people say he’s soft but the courage of his convictions is brilliant.

He’s played it brilliantly- while Patel, Fox and the rest are now gleefully jumping on board, you just know Southgate sees how stupid they look with the backtracking.

Again- win lose or draw tomorrow he’s done more for the ‘decency’ of the country than any politician.

25 hours to go

 

[Sick Boy]

He’s probably still traumatised by Astute’s offer to give him a lift to a game while going on about how but he was but promising to be gentle.

 

[COV]

It’s a good bit of trolling.

Someone on here seems to be getting a bit uncomfortable

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Fox was saying in another tweet a couple of weeks ago how he now `hates all sport'.

Him and Farage slam the door really hard on the way out to `Make A Point' then have to sheepishly creep back in cos they forgot their keys

They’re all desperately trying to cling onto what Southgate is doing. He’s a better advert for the country than all of them put together

Foden now “doubtful” for tomorrow…

Chiellini gave an interview and came across as a decent bloke, with some subtle words to put the pressure on us as well- seems a smart guy

It just so refreshing - and nice - to recognise the good as well as acknowledge the bad, and be able to feel a little bit good about our nation.

I agree but I'm sure I saw it listed on fixtures. Weird.

If we win tomorrow I don’t think there’ll ever have been a manager who’s taken over at such a low point and turned the situation into such a massive success, and changed the whole perception of the team…

.. apart from Jimmy Hill

Erm…Mark Robins?

I love MR but I think going from L2 to mid-Championship via the playoffs in one season is not the same as going from L1 to the top division as champions- but thats my opinion only. If MR took us up again somehow then it may be heresy to say it but his on-field achievements would eclipse Jimmy.

I don’t think England were at such a low point though, we’re they?

We’d just lost to Iceland, our most embarrassing result perhaps ever- didn’t Southgate step in straight away after that?
