    [Football] Holland vs Czech Republic, Belgium vs Portugal

    Or the record for most awful puns made by a commentator in one game?

    [Football] Holland vs Czech Republic, Belgium vs Portugal

    Dutch were poor after that red card. Really interesting team to watch tactically across the tournament. They remind me of a top League Two team who have superior attacking players and just play hopeful balls forward and expect it to bounce their way. Only problem is that once you’re 1-0 down...

    [Football] Holland vs Czech Republic, Belgium vs Portugal

    Does de Boer hate our Joel?

    [Football] Krept and Konan - official England track

    Official or not, those lyrics are utterly abysmal - and I quite like rap music.

    [Politics] Matt Hancock is a hands-on kind of man.

    My point is that in the headline "Health Secretary breaks 2m distance rule by having affair", the public are far more outraged by the breaking of the 2m rule than the affair. I may be in the minority, but I'll be teaching my children that adultery is a greater transgression than hypocrisy...

    [Politics] Matt Hancock is a hands-on kind of man.

    It really saddens me to see that the bulk of public outrage is directed at the fact that Hancock broke a rule, rather than at the fact that he has most likely irrevocably torn two families' lives apart from his affair. Adultery seems to slip past our society's anti-misogyny radar.

    [Football] Today’s Euros Games

    Genuinely think Lloris should have been sent off. Really, really dangerous. Considering Bissouma got sent off v Newcastle for kicking someone in the face - how is a full steam haymaker any different?!?

    [Football] The higher The Albion get ?

    I know I may ruffle a few feathers by saying this, but the general attitude on this forum to England really repulses me. Why can’t we be club AND country? We don’t have to choose between both for crying out loud! What’s ironic is that I imagine the failure of the “Golden Generation” is what...

    [Football] Are we doing a today's Euros thread?

    Magical game. Full crowd + so much drama. Christiansen’s goal is moment of the tournament and this was absolutely the game of the competition. Get in Denmark!!! Hope they smash the Welsh on Saturday!

    [Football] Are we doing a today's Euros thread?

    That former Palace man De Boer doesn’t like our Davey. Having said that, I think Palace fans hate De Boer.

    [Football] Saturday Euro Games

    Your post got me thinking about the phrase world class. I initially nodded my head in agreement about your assertion that Kane and Sterling are perhaps our only world class players. But what do we actually mean by "world class"? My instant definition was a player that would be signed by a Barca...

    [Football] We only want a point against the Czech Republic

    Today's unexpected results in Group F have threatened to rip up the script and has blown things wide open. Any of the four teams could still qualify automatically. England play Tuesday, but Group F games are on Wednesday. France v Portugal and Germany v Hungary. These are the permutations: FRA...

    [Football] VAR at the Euros

    Really highlights how woefully VAR has been applied in the PL. From the expectations VAR has established amongst English fans in the PL, I thought Sterling’s would be reviewed and given a penalty. The fact it wasn’t even looked at shows that it’s been chronically misapplied in the PL.

    [Football] Match day thread England vs Croatia

    Excellent from England. Composed, professional and mature. Managed the 90 perfectly in the heat - something we didn't do against Croatia in the World Cup. Delighted for Raheem! And to do it at Wembley. Nothing better than the feeling when England win in a tournament. Come on!!!!!
