Class from Croatia. Spain vs Italy next round. Harsh on Italy they won their group and haven't conceded a goal yet

It's my fault, I drew them out the sweepstake at work.

I'd say so. Austria were class in qualifying. 9 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. In form team.

Yeah agreed. Was expecting more. Massive result for Hungary like.

Blame on all sides here. Like I said before, terrible idea to have the game in Marseille. Snide Russians. Loads of evidence on twitter, from people who were there, clearly saying there were a organised, militant, Russian gang kicking off.

Terrible idea to have England/Russia game in Marseille like.

France have good options going forward but look a bit weak in defence like.

Never gonna happen. A Champions league winner in the championship, you must be joking. I was just thinking that, there will be two managers in the Championship who have won the Champions League. Given some of the utterly horrific names we've been linked with, I think Di Matteo is by far the best one I've heard so far. Good appointment I think. As you there say, lots of worse options out there.

I'm not saying he should be starting but Townsend would be very useful as an impact sub. Gives the team something different.

Nah. But aye though. Nah it's complete bollocks. He's cost us as many points, if not more, than he won with the odd good performance e.g. Bournemouth. Krul had been poor for a while but Elliot still hasn't really been better than him. He's just not good enough at this level, he's not tall enough, doesn't dive well, horrendously slow off his line, positioning not the best. Decent shop stopped as almost all professional footballers are and decent reflexes. He's just not very good. State of this post

Stray Mackem is a good poster. He's fair and he knows what he's talking about. But the state of RTG man. 99% posters just acting like this Rafa news isn't positive news for us I get the piss taking at the minute, Mackems are on top. But loads of posts like "he's a shite manager, he won't be able to handle the championship" etc. I mean FFS man. Sounding like absolute morons

The Gif's have been amazing today. Well done everybody. I'm delighted. We need to get back behind Rafa now and support the team. Be so class if we can get 50,000+ crowds in Championship with a positive and committed atmosphere. Howay the lads!

The king is going to be so fucking smug if they win this

That was such wank defending like.

Burton Albion at home with 52,000 there Howay Rafa.

Totally forgot Marlon Harewood played for us. So random.

Would be fucking class if we have Rafa and get 50,000+ crowds every home match in the Championship. Atmosphere will be class (obviously as long as we're doing well).

Leeds away will be mental

The Plane is sad as fuck.

First double of the season! Against the second best team in the league

Ashley is snide but if he secures the deal to keep Rafa, we can move on and prepare.

I think it's maybe 50/50 if he stays. The fact that the fans really like will help - obviously its human nature to be wanted. Ashley needs to give him full control, with a Premier league wage, cash for transfers. If we get promoted next year - its all good. But if we don't get out the first year we could struggle.
