Oh aye. I got lazy and didn't read the end. Soz.

And to think he would have been relegated in his first season without their contribution.

I meant Henderson in for mount, if he's going to play Rice, Phillips and Henderson.

Aye. Lasted about a week. I think the co-commentators union got onto them.

Yep. The forced conversations are just painful. There was one the other night with Jenas, he totally got the wrong end of the stick when replying to a question. He paused and you just knew he had realised his mistake, but instead of holding his hands up he just continued. I don't think anybody noticed like which is probably why he's perfect for TV.

They're all awful. None if them know when to just shut the fuck up.

I'll be honest, I could care less about England, but it would take more energy than being apathetic, so I think I'll stick. It irritates me a little that if we win it will make up for 40 years of real hurt.

Exactly. you'd think Slapshot had never been made.

It could turn out to be the wrong decision, of course, but I'd like to see Southgate have the courage to drop one of England's future stars. I mean I don't think Mount has done anything to say he deserves a place in the final.

Maybe. Drop Mount? It's not a bad idea.

Not half as much as he will.

This is what is destroying my love for football.

I can totally see the argument for replacing Rice with Henderson, but it is clear that Rice's role is to drop back, allowing the wbs and Phillips to get forward. Maybe Phillips can take that role, I don't know. I know we've had Henderson and Phillips together, late on in games, but I don't see them as a starting DM partnership. Also I don't think I trust either Rice or Phillips to come on and impact the way Henderson has in recent games. I think he'll keep things as were, but I'd like to see more support from Mount.

Judging by the font and the little red bubble [of sauce], it was probably intended to be offensive to Muslims and bacon sarnie lovers alike.

Wouldn't judge his person tbh. I don't like his behaviour, but as a person he's still growing.

Sounds like Richard Herring at his most annoying.

Is he any less physical than Foden?

Yeah. Kind of reminds me of Amanda Donohoe in Lair of the White Worm.

Double edged sword that, maybe. It kind of puts the blame on Pickford which might rattle him going into the final. I'm confident Southgate knows the players well enough to make the right call, mind. I think both teams will be well up for the final and hopefully it's a great game.

Rebounds aren't allowed in shootouts.

3 times his short passes went straight to the opposition.

Was never a pen, but I don't think it's a clear and obvious error on the ref's part.

It's quite satisfying, knowing how many joyless fucks hate it.
