How many? Could do another sweep. I'm gonna go with a lowly 3. Still too many.

Genuinely think there might be a few deaths before the tournament ends

It's canny concerning the level of hooliganism like across the board. Possibly the worst tournament I have ever seen for this. It's detracting from the football...

Aye I just seen that. Disgusting man.

Aye. That's kinda understandable tbh. For me you just make sure you outsing them when it's your turn.

People were booing it in the O2 and I was trying to shush them. Don't agree with booing national anthems. Enemies or not.

Didn't our fans do the same while away in the UEFA when we played Brugge? Should something have happened to us or does it only apply to England and Russia? Aye and despite our fans being blindly drunk and out of control they caused almost 0 issue. 2,000 tickets and 6,000 there. The year before Birmingham took the same and they all had tickets yet allegedly they smashed the place up. Not sure what point I'm making by this like

Hello

Aye it's the same bollocks the media perpetuate. People need to f***ing wake up. We will undoubtedly have dickheads there but the blame being attributed to our lot is ridiculous That is true, but its our fans and get blindly drunk and then are not in control of their reactions. I hope they throw the book at both England and Russia. Aye. That doesn't help like. I do think we have dickheads out there just don't like the way ours seem to get vilified in comparison to these organised mobs.

Aye it's the same bollocks the media perpetuate. People need to fucking wake up. We will undoubtedly have dickheads there but the blame being attributed to our lot is ridiculous

Concerned about Thursday now like

It's just the wankers who've been banned from premier league clubs and who now follow the likes of Barnet who cause the trouble. That and pissed up charvers. Unfortunately normal people get caught up in it though. Bet the French aren't berating the number of £7 pints being bought

Oh no....this thread is gonna pull the pin on the last of my slag grenades.

The journey begins on Wednesday at 3AM por moi.

Only caught the penalty and last goal really...seemed a decent game though. Romania looked quite impressive defensively.

I too have been guilty to shame these England fans. However, I think this is the widely accepted stereotype that we both live up to and are simultaneously tarnished with. The minority will be causing issues, ex-hooligans of big clubs who now follow the local shite side to fill their "buzz gap" and pissed up kids who've watched too much Green Street. I suspect though, as we've all seen these scenes before, and seen the news reports the assumption will be made by all (myself included) that it was simply the fault of the Torquay Naughty Over Fourties...when I bet it isn't. How many times have we gone away as Toon fans and seen ill-treatment of our fanbase due to the fact we're English - plenty. When in reality the very vast majority are there for a laugh, a drink and a party. I've seen ill-treatment of our fans in Marseille, Bruges and Benfica, and none of which seemed provoked (maybe being biased?). I think in general the policing abroad is intended to be more militant and intimidating and for some strange reason we don't take kindly to that. What happens when you back a dog into the corner I guess. Cannot blame people for that. I'm with all of you on this to a degree, but no-one knows the real story apart from the people there...

I refuse to believe Akinfenwa is only 16 stone. You've misunderstood the point. I'm clear on the fact that according to the rules it's only a yellow card. But in the spirit of the game - those should be reds imo and the rules should be updated for it. Btw if red was the punishment or he was already on a yellow, I'm certain Ramos commits the foul anyway. Partly because he's Ramos but it's STILL a worthwhile red to take. Last minute of extra time. The fact he stays on the pitch is simply a double win. I didn't misunderstand you. I just disagree with every single aspect of the point you are trying to make. I'm 14 and he's like 4x the width of me

Fuck that

50p, £2.75 if you buy the multi-six pack. Cheers

How much is it for a pack if these?

Welcome to the Belgian massive. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160530/68746ea253424a1de6eae445240c579f.jpg Noemie Happart ftw

I do think he's a complete twat, but surely it's freedom of speech? I'm not sure where I stand on it.

Elliott is playing for the biggest club of his career and it will remain the biggest club of his career. I'm not particularly surprised he towed the company line and said those things (if he did). I don't like that he said it like. It wouldn't surprise me if he said we're gonna be in the champions league in 3 years with Benitez now With regards to "winning points", if he's made crucial saves he's won points just as much as Townsends goals and assists. I think the discussion is only being had as a result of Elliotts persona as opposed to his goalkeeping ability / form. I don't think anyone is under any illusion that he's some sort of world class goalkeeper. He's a bang average goalkeeper. However, he was in the form of his career last season and he was one of the only ones performing anywhere near an even satisfactory level. The fact he won this award speaks volumes for how poor the other players have been.

How come this never gets discussed? I obviously feel for those at Hillsborough but it's shocking how this gets totally forgotten about. The fire at Bradford too. I guess there was more controversy with Hillsborough like...
