Someone has to be kidding me. It’s a results business. Have they all forgotten that the aim of entering a competition is to win it. That’s right, be the team that picks up the WINNERS trophy at the end of it all, not reach a quarter final. Then you have something to be rightfully proud of doing. Somebody please tell all the experts that is what it’s all about. As for Kanes penalty miss, it was right that he also took the 2nd one. Had he wore another white shirt with a cockerel for a badge he would have scored.
Southgate said it was a game of fine margins. Where have we heard that before
Exactly right Mal , but it’s the world we live in were now taught it’s taking part and we’re all winners, it’s the wrong mentality to have, but what do we know.

Football for all I agree with but all winners is a joke.

Results is the business and that’s how you should be judged - I’ll be honest I’m not Gareth’s biggest fan - however there is a pattern forming in our progression and we keep falling short of where we need to be - do you keep on with that or make the change that’s needed ?
