If England beat Germany, they’ve basically got a bye to the final. And this Germany side is very beatable.

As long as it’s not one of those jigsaws you buy from a charity shop, that is a picture of kittens and has one piece missing!
One missing piece would be a bit of a result at this stage! Better than the empty box we currently have.

Another “benefit” of VAR, the gift that keeps on giving to football fans everywhere.

I completely agree with the aims of the kneeling but I’m not sure they’re being achieved. I’m happy to be put right on that by people who know better than me, I just don’t really see what tangible benefits it can achieve long-term.
Of course, as I mentioned earlier, stopping it now would just be fuel to the racists, so I’m not sure what the best option is from here now.
The idea of “keep politics out of football” is just a nonsense, particularly when it involves games between national side!

Bottom 4, only hope is a raft of mid-January panic signings will give us a bit of a boost and see us to safety.

I reckon he’ll do well there, I suspect that this might be another young player who we regret let slipping through our fingers.

I always liked Slocombe but there was a certain section of the fans which never took to him, not sure why.
I thought it was such a shame that his Iron career was allowed to finish the way it did, with that awful broken arm & then allowed to leave at the end of the season.
I’m sure we’ve had better keepers than Slocombe but we’ve had plenty worse, especially since he left.

I look forward to all these “keep politics out of football types” piping up about being “made” to “stand in SILENCE” next November.

I would say that, on the pitch, there’s probably been as much good as bad with some seasons at the top of League One & some at the bottom of League Two. One promotion in 8 seasons, not terrible. Though I think I’m right in saying this is now our longest period without a promotion since 1990, when we’d gone 7 years without one after 1983.
Off the pitch, I have many more questions. Promises unfulfilled and even simple things like sorting out the Iron Bar & the catering or the shop haven’t been resolved when surely they were quick wins which would have gone a long way to getting fans onside?
Yes Wharton did lack ambition but the club over achieved and i never once feared for its future.
I disagree with this statement. “Lacking ambition” is often a synonym for “not spending more” when running a club & within its means is ambitious in itself.
that starts with the inward-looking Board which has no room for outsiders (except for the C.E.O. who, of course, is pais by the Board.
I definitely think that any organisation would benefit from a wider range of voices on its board. Even if they were non-executive directors, that would surely be helpful.
Some lovely people on this thread, a great example of everything that’s bad about England.
Just out of interest, can anyone explain to me why Marxism is a bad thing? It seems to be thrown around as a catch-all insult but no one every mentions why it’s bad.
