Yeah, he's properly on form. Mind you these days he has an unlimited amount of material to work with... A while back there was a documentary about him that I've been meaning to watch, Sky Arts I think. Have you seen it?
depends who is on at the end but you'd think Kane, Sterling, Stones, Rice and Mount but if it goes to pens would imagine Grealish, Foden and possibly Trippier will also be on
You're making me feel nervous. Declan Rice has got "last penalty tragically ballooned over the bar, left alone and holding back sobs on the pitch, a terrible shadow falling across the rest of his career" written all over him.

After decades of fkin West Ham fans fkin going on about how they fkin won the fking World Cup, if that was to happen we can then eternally remind them how they lost us Euro2020.
But, i’d rather not be in that position in the first place.
BBC sells overseas broadcast rights for it's content a small fortune. Content that has been funded for by the licence fee payer, and Beeb keeps the lot.
Good, that's exactly what I want them to do. It keeps the licence fee down (and why the feck should foreigners who haven't bought a licence get free what I'm paying for?)
It's also a case of one of the very few British product makers that is universally respected globally exporting a product and thereby employing British workers.
One of my bugbears is that the Beeb has become a political issue and there is a campaign (led by cr*p, largely foreign-owned newspapers, some of them owned by direct competitors of the BBC) to feck over exports of David Attenborougn and Dr Who because they don't like the way the news is presented, as if the bloody news is what we watch the telly for.
Sadly the've already screwed the thing over so badly that the product is a shadow of what it used to be and much of the "must-watch" TV is now US made.
I knew someone would bring it up and no surprises who
But yep, proved wrong tonight but what wasnt is the awful commentators and presenters. BBC for me on Sunday, better all round atmosphere with their team of presenters.
Which i used to, a lot, but the content has become so banal and lacking edge these days. Watch 6 nations and England in World/Euro cup, Masters and listen to 6Music a bit and Robert Elms on Radio London and that's pretty much it.
So yes it's good value if you're a heavy user but not if you're not. So light users are subsidising heavy users. Streaming subscription options to various verticals (News, Drama, Radio etc) would seem the right way to go.
Dunno about the ‘new Wembley’, but shit loads got in for nothing or a bribe at the old twin towers.
I was sickened recently when I heard on the wireless that the 1966 World Cup Final wasn't full capacity because they were still letting people in for cash at the turnstiles, and it never got full. I was watching it at home on black-and-white TV, in Harrow Weald, a few miles away, aged 13. Whoever knew?
Surely to counter this you can say if the BBC didn't sell its content for a small fortune the TV licence would cost more...them selling the content keeps the licence at the, lets face it, dirt cheap price that it is.
I once had an interesting discussion at the gun counter of a sports store in the USA, when I expressed surprise that I would be allowed to buy a hand gun and several boxes of ammunition as long as I could produce a driver's licence. The assistant turned the tables on me by saying, "Hey, you're English, you guys really have to pay for a TV LICENCE?"

It’s funny because I had a very similar conversation the first time I went to the US. I was at an extremely large gun counter at a sports store in Florida. I asked what ID I would need if I wanted to buy a gun. Apparently you had to prove you were a Florida resident and 16 or over. So at 16 I could buy a gun, but not an Ice T album from the record shop next door.
Yep, but didn't interfere with play, so game doesn't have to be stopped.
The balls were quite close to each other. The referee obviously thought he was following the right one but what about the players ? I’m not disputing the penalty or the final result but I just can’t believe that, in general, 2 balls moving not so far from each doesn’t interfere with play.
Morning! How do you know he didn’t shout out for that to be done. That’s why they stand on the edge of the technical area.
Come on gazza, swallow your pride and give him some credit. No one will think any worse of you for doing so.
Seriously, do you really think Southgate was much to do with that clip??
It was 100% down to the players and the quality that they have....they made the runs, they made themselves the space, they passed the ball excellently, they used their own brains, they kept the ball.
Nowt to do with Southgate....ffs they are the best players in the world!!!!.....that is why we kept the ball!!! against a 'worn out' Denmark team

100%? You know that for an absolute fact do you? Do you have connections with the England management team. You’re just guessing and making plausible conjecture etc and presenting it as ‘fact’.
How do you know that sort of stuff isn’t discussed in training, during briefings and so on. They’ll be going through scenarios and all sorts of things. I’m sure players are able to think for themselves on the pitch but it will be as a result of the huge preparation work that goes on.
You just cannot give him any credit can you. So entrenched in your beliefs you cannot, or will nor, budge. It’s no shame you know to say otherwise, it can actually be quite cathartic.
However, I’m sure you be all over here if we lose bemoaning how he isn’t the right person, despite getting us to two semi’s and a final in just a few years, without suggesting who is currently better.

It obviously isn't fact......however talk to anyone involved with football and they would tell you the reason how and why they kept the ball so well and it would not be that Southgate told Trippier to run here and pass it there, etc, etc, etc - the players will make those decisions and not your beloved Southgate. As I said they are top world class players who will do that just like you do things automatically in your job of work or having a piss when you get up in the morning!!!
As for Southgate......I am not a fan (not saying that he has not done good things because he has) and I want England to win 100% on Sunday and it is pretty silly of you to think that I would want anything else.
(of an attitude, habit, or belief) firmly established and difficult or unlikely to change; ingrained.
"For fear of losing face to strangers on the internet, gazza’s anti Southgate stance was so entrenched he seriously had the front to flaunt it two days before England’s first final in 55 years"
