Tuchel has the air of a man who knows he's bollocksed that up tonight. 12% possession for England after we scored. Absolutely mental.

Rooney talking a lot of sense. Saying the players were probably thinking "oh ****" when they saw Tuchel flooding the team with defenders. BTW this wank fest over Messi is getting a bit much, he wasn't why they won tonight.

We need a total break in mentality. If we take the lead, the team has to feel like we've just gone down 1-0. It needs something drastic.

It's Italy 2020 all over again. Not even that upset after that. An absolutely disgusting display of cowardice AGAIN. Scoring a goal and getting the lead was literally the worst thing that happened to us in that game. We completely stopped playing. We had no interest in the ball. At least if we went for it, we'd have been in a position to take it to Argentina if they scored. Instead we were a dead duck. As others have said on here, until England get ride of the "hang on to a lead mentality" we will never win **** all. Look at Spain yesterday...they never stopped. It's also starts with domestic football, we see it all the time domestically. Dog shit playing out from the back and defence vs attack.

Croatia being a bogey team for us again? I predicted we were going to have a very poor tournament and nothing in that 45 minutes has changed my mind. We look awful with the ball and we are wide open at the back despite getting everyone behind the ball. Imagine that half against one of the top teams. We'll be one of the 'shock' early exits for sure.

Devastating for Reform? They over doubled their vote share and are now polling nearly 30% in one of the safest left-wing seats in the country. The fact that people were even talking about them potentially winning the seat shows how far they've come. The idea of them winning would have been laughed out of town just a few years ago. Project this performance nationally and they are well on course to win the next GE. If you want devastating, look at Labour who lost the seat for the first time in nearly a 100 years and the Conservatives who had their worst by-election of all time. The Greens are of course full of it today but it was the block Pakistani muslim vote that won it for them. They are increasingly becoming a fluffier version of George Galloway's Workers Party. But the increasingly sectarian nature of a lot of the voting in some of our major cities should be of increasing concern to everyone. The Greens though, like Labour before them, won't mind though as it's winning them seats. However, eventually we end up with Tower Hamlets. Dark times ahead.

The Greens are going to win it with a decent margin I reckon. They've been odds on to win it for a while now. The strange alliance between the left-wing student and muslim vote will deliver it for them. Electoral Calculus have the Greens winning the seat in a General Election also. Losing these 2 demographics would be an absolute catastrophe for Labour though. If this pattern was repeated nationwide, it means losing the vast majority of London, Birmingham, Manchester and even parts of Liverpool to the Greens. Effectively Labours only real "safe" seats. I expect Reform to do better than the 14% of the vote they got in 2024 but everything would need to go right to win a seat that has pulled strongly left for nearly a century. If Labour do lose, can Starmer hang on to the local elections in May?

Hamilton being the only one to get a penalty is absolutely astonishing. It’s actually impressive how farcical that is. A major shot at his first podium with Ferrari destroyed. Arguably by his own teammate.

Yes, at the moment he's absolutely sailing in to Downing Street. Poll of Polls: Reform - 31% Labour - 20% Conservatives - 17% Liberal Democrats - 14% Greens - 9% Based on electoral calculus that would give Reform 394 seats and a majority of 138. Labour reduced to 97 MPs and Conservatives 28. Effectively both facing extension level events. BTW that is before Corbyn's new far-left party starts to eat in to the Labour vote even further. This Labour governments approval rating is the lowest on record. Maurice Glasman said in July that Labour has 6 months to turn the ship around. It's gotten worse since then. If Labour can't get a grip and continue to circle the economy around the drain come new year I predict one of a few things. Moves will be made to replace Starmer/they'll start talking about bringing in PR to try and stop Farage/rumours of deeper collaboration between Lab-Lib-Cons/They'll throw in the towel and call an election late 2026/early 2027. Or of course they could just limp on delaying the inevitable.

I mean, maybe direct your anger to Rayner and her rank stupidity and incompetence but go on.

I mean, have you actually seen how bad Sainz has been this year? He currently sits 17th out of 19 full time drivers in the standings. 48 points behind his teammate who sits in 8th. Same number of DNF's too. Sure Hamilton is currently 42 points behind Leclerc but at least he's directly behind him in the standings. Maybe it isn't so easy to switch teams after being somewhere for a long time after all. For what it's worth though, I also believe he should retire at the end of this season. You look at the grid now and he's looking like yesterdays man. Verstappen, Leclerc, Norris, Piastri and Russell are at their primes or approaching it. Even if he had a car that could challenge, he's lost the few tenths needed to make the difference, especially in qualifying. His career from karting through to F1 has been unprecedented. Time to call it a career IMO.

I find it fascinating a number of our players have seemingly turned against the fans. Remarkable considering the KP has been a happy-clapping hotbed of toxic 'support the lads' positivity for the past few years. Regardless of the absolute shit they and the club have served up for the past few years. Something too think about maybe?

The hardest interview of his career. Hamilton saying he's useless, the car is good and Ferrari "probably need to change driver". Turning in to a very sad end. I think he's now done mentally.

100%. This is arguably his favourite track so to put it in 13th here while his teammate (who hates this track) puts it on pole is completely unacceptable. Even if he gets a car to his liking, at 40+ years old he isn't beating a Leclerc in the prime of his career. Call it a career Lewis, it's been a great one

I always said I never thought this was an actual thing. Just a little bone to throw to the fans. It's never looked or felt like a genuine proposal to me. All the extra bits just seemed thrown in to try and delay/eventually cancel the project. The sad reality is that the club had a GENERATIONAL opportunity to turn us in to one of the countries elite clubs and possibly one of the biggest hipster clubs in the world because of our story. That opportunity has been completely pissed up the wall and we are going back to exactly where we started. The only hope we have is King Power putting us up for sale while the memory of our glory is relatively fresh. Hopefully that will attract a big fish who can right Top's wrongs.
