Crazy that Villa are the first to make proper changes, so predictable it finishes the game.

They lose an awful lot these days but no less amusing.

What happened? A Vardy/Nasri type thing?

Yep, I'd take hitting 20 points and avoiding humiliation.

German beer day. Weihenstephaner Vitus Schneider Weisse Aventinus Kloster Andechs Weissbier Hell Tucher Bajuvator Dopplebock Should sleep well tonight.

Might be wrong but have a vague memory of 96/97 pre season being really poor after the playoff win (losses to Torquay, Rotherham etc? ) but then finished top half in PL and won the League Cup. I remember O'Neil joking that preseason no journo was brave enough to predict us as high as 19th.

Gadds Black Pearl Oyster stout.

Germany and Portugal both out, what a great day!

Look who's reffing.

Thank god for that

Probably lose to Germany in the final and wish we'd have gone out tonight instead.

Told my 5 year old she could watch cbeebies in 1 minute, now she's crying

Love Lane neipa from home bargains. Must be the best quality/price beer deal going right now at 1.49 a can.

Tripper

This isn't the Guardian you know.

Late Portuguese winner + Danny Murphy = Peak irritation.

The comms pair were so slow then

Southgate's last tournament whatever happens. Already made his decision apparently.

Butland showing everybody why he's ended up in Scotland.

Wrong

Two of the original greedy clubs who foisted the PL era on us for their own ends, my heart bleeds. It's actually quite hilarious how few titles they've won between them since 1992. What a shame they were too arrogant/oblivious to safeguard their position years earlier with phoney financial restrictions.

Weird thing being they finished 9th the previous year. Probably a combination of teams figuring them out over time and possibly the side most affected by lack of vocal home support during the pandemic.

Glad I got my sky bet freeze for Everton on sharpish.
