Our constituency, Hexham, has just returned its first ever Labour MP. Had been blue for the past 100 years.

Marvellous!

Benjamin Disraeli, Stanley Baldwin, Edward Heath, Boris Johnson, Winston Churchill, Maggie Thatcher, Maggie Thatcher. Can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating, one hell of a beating!!!

I think we’ve gone a bit awry on the dates of the quarter finals!

Oh no!

We’ll soon be living in that Totalitarian, Atheist, Socialist State you’ve been warning us about!

Cashless payments, mandatory vaccinations, gender neutral humanoids under the control of alien reptiles from Alpha Centauri.

Arrrrgh! It’s the end of the world!

Aye this coming from the government who had pissups in Downing St every Friday night during lockdown!

[Northumbiron]

The biggest surprise for me was that both teams finished with eleven players on the pitch!

The Waddle mullet. Could play CF at a pinch!

As with previous games, always looks like the opposition have thirteen players on the pitch.

Clueless when it comes to unpicking a defence!

[Northumbiron]

We haven’t even got a new kit yet!

Pulling Kane off at halftime?

In my day we only got half an orange!

Shaw still isn’t fit enough to train with the squad. What was the point in taking him when the likes of Chilwell and Mitchell are fit and available? Might be fit for the group stage? That would end well wouldn’t it. No decent left backs my arse!

Tyler Denton was available!

Ah! But that wouldn’t make him an evangelist though, would it?

That’s right. Both goals came from errors. Otherwise it would have been an even more turgid 0-0!

[Northumbiron]

Starting with the same eleven that underperformed in the opening game and then making the same changes and expecting an improvement reminds me of this quote oft attributed to the one and only Albert Einstein..

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

Tony Currie 17 caps, El Tel a mere 2!

Thing with Grealish (and several others. Sterling and Saka eg) is that they are obviously talented ball players but their decision making is crap!

The number of times you see him go past a defender, get into the box and then end up passing in backwards is ridiculous. Compared to the Belgian lad Doku who is more direct in his approach. Can see Grealish being sold on if he doesn’t up his game.

[Northumbiron]

Belgium’s look like they’re oozing sweat before they’ve kicked a ball!

[Northumbiron]

Should be able to show off his silky skills!

If that is based on yesterday’s results, I don’t think it has been updated since the day before.

Shit! That’s even worse.

[Northumbiron]

Fairly sure I should have more than 15pts.

Any way you can check your points breakdown like on the regular board?

[Northumbiron]

The corporate England setup doesn’t like mavericks or unpredictable flair. It started back with Ramsey and Revie and continues to this day.

Rodney Marsh 9 caps
Mike Summerbee 8
Frank Worthington 8
Matt Le Tissier 8
Denis Tueart 6
Laurie Cunningham 6
Stan Bowles 5
Peter Osgood 4
Alan Hudson 2

We’ve always picked the horses to fit the course not vice versa! The fact that Gazza got over 50 caps is remarkable really. But then Robson was a remarkable manager.

[Northumbiron]

Did anyone expect anything other than a German win?
