“We battered them”. Except when we arrived at the end of the game and we fucking lost ?. At 1-1 we completely let them back in. First half we sat off them and let them take the lead. In every game we’ve come up against the big teams we’ve waited until they made the moves. Defend Southgate all you like and I have done so loads in the past but we’ve shat it, again.

You can’t expect to go through if you miss pens. However, France were also there for the taking. Another knockout game where we shat it against a major side. Fuck Southgate and his risk free football. Man’s a loser.

Unbelievable pen. You can’t score pens you don’t deserve to go through tbh

Said it all tournament but Rice is actually the weak link here, he offers nothing when building play. Hate him

These officials are bent man

Aye fuck that

I’ve not really been a cynic at all, and have been quite a staunch defender of Southgate. However, I feel that the quality of the performances have been poor. Or should I say, there are glaring problems with the way the team is set up that means we aren’t going to win this WC. The main issue being the way we progress the ball through midfield. Maybe I’ve just had the joy of watching Bruno now so am spoiled, but I cannot stand the Rice role in football now.

Let’s fucking hope so, I can’t stand the twats

Thought we were generally pretty poor but actually looked a lot better with Phillips instead of Rice.

Well done yanks. Wales were atrocious.

This is fucking tragic. Kane isn’t good enough to play 5 a side and Declan Rice is a waste of a shirt

Declan rice is basically Jack Colback. Utterly pointless role he takes

Aye got the flag for my son from Back Page. Lots of cracking stuff in there.

It evens out…all teams get bad VAR decisions ?

Ha ha - memory lane…is the Chronicle still doing that “Vent your spleen” section in all the classifieds?

Think they will, yeah.

I’m not actually arsed about it at all. In fact I think it’s probably massively overblown issue framed by a genuine dislike of us as a club. I think we will need to accept it when it is used against us though. I don’t like it as part of the game but dark arts are part of every single professional sports.

He’s been brilliant again. What a guy

Waaay fuck off chelsea you utter spenks

How wrong it was ?

I definitely was pretty critical at the start. I couldn’t see the improvements and the Cambridge game was shit. I remember thinking we were soft/naive and we weren’t ready to play attacking football. I also pined for Rafa too, in hindsight due to an emotional attachment with him being a great guy in a shit period. Anyway, I think it’s fair to say that the Leeds result was the key. I don’t think he would be here if we lost that in the sense that I think he may have lost the players and fans.

Fuck sake sorry to hear that

Well in through

Jesus fuck
