Place sounds rocking, brilliant to have proper football back

Still only 28 too so plenty of years left in him. Seems like a million years since he was here so assumed he was older. Think that's a brilliant buy for them.

Thought he was still recovering from injury? Will be odd to not have at least two keepers on the bench as well after last year

Never like playing promoted teams so early on in the season, they'll have a point to prove and be high energy. Going to go for an unconvincing 2-1 win.

Traore would be hated by our own fans if he played for us, he must be so infuriating when he plays for your club..

I understand Palace not wanting to sell even at £65million. I mean how much would we be willing to sell Botman for? And that's a payer who is on his way back from a serious ACL injury too.

I like the idea of club shirts representing a place's heritage but that is an utter abomination.

David Ginola man, no bloke has the right to look that good at 57 . Loved all the little references in there.

Cheeseburger is still 30p cheaper than I paid at National League South side Chelmsford the other day to be fair

BBC still reporting Anderson to Fulham. I can't see Palace selling both CBs. Honestly wouldn't mind us going in for Anderson.

The main reason why we conceded far too many goals last year was not because of the back 2. A lot of the issue came from the massive Joelinton shaped hole in front of them. A lot of injuries (and a ban) to our midfielders really exposed out back line last year. Longstaff/Anderson/Miley were never going provide them the cover needed, especially when Bruno pushed further up the field.

Tripps looks delighted

I mean when you put it like that, it sounds an awful lot like what Brighton did with Minteh.

Spending on women's football doesn't sound towards PSR/FFP does it? Time for an over inflated loan fee of around £60 million before Guehi joins for 3p.

Mad Dog seal of approval, must be good.

Jak Alnwick against Spurs was when it became obvious to me just how shit he is/was. Nicky But at the Cardiff Semi-Final was the most spineless I've seen. Can't remember who against but James Perch had an absolute 'mare at right back soon after he'd joined, was laughably bad.

France just scored a couple of long range goals to go 2-0 up against USA. USA have huffed and puffed but the whole game has felt a bit flat.

Players warmed up for longer than they had to play for the restart

Three adopted Geordies in the winning squad at least.

Aye, gutted for him. Understandable but ruthless from Southgate.

Not really feeling it as much this time, although to be honest I was surprised how much I ended up caring about the previous finals. I think the other two Euros finals being at Wembley helped.

Why is Kane actively avoiding the box when we get out wide.

Didn't see much of Mainoo before the Euros, but I can see the hype might actually be justified.

Why is a grown man, closer to retirement than school age, holding up a cardboard sign asking for Kane's shirt? FFS he's old enough to be Kane's dad

Foden man, again. Lots of space down the wing next to Bellingham there, still he refuses to run into it.
