The fact that either of these clubs is going into the Premier League and even reached the play off final is crazy. And an absolute statement of where we have languished as a club for a long time now.

Fantastic achievement. Congratulations to him. Hope wherever he goes he smashes it, and heck maybe even plays for England one day. Also credit again must be had to our academy.

Game management by Southgate just isn't good enough. Every time we go in front against a half decent team he just isn't reactive to what's in front of him. And that's without criticising what team he picks and who he doesn't even select for call up.

Seriously need fresh legs and control back. ?

Saka is unbelievably good.

Cracking start by Phillips. Cannot wait too see the back of Southgate.

Guardiola questioning Pearson on how much an Alex Scott is going to cost him. Great performance considering who we played. Maybe just we'll have a ride into the play-offs. COYR.

Best midfielder in the world scored against us. Nothing wrong with that.

Kalas has been immense proper battling performance

Shall we retire the #7 when Scott goes to Dortmund? ?

Vyner giving it away so easily. Need to get Scott back involved in the play.

Can I have some of what you guys are on

Surely even the most optimistic person can't think of play offs considering where we've been most of this season. Have to just be happy with game by game consistency and performance.

Just checked his wiki page and he joined us in our relegation season!? Can't even remember that. Sold at the end of our league one winning campaign as well. Amazing what you forget! Fixed

We might have just this season or next to enjoy Alex Scott

France don't deserve to win this tournament. Have been probably the worst team in most of their knockout games. They were lucky to beat Belgium in 2018.

Can't believe considering this world cup so far people writing England off.

Famara!

Jude ?

Walker is having a mare. Defensively being beaten and has no ability to make a forward pass. John Stones isn't doing much better.

All the young players have such potential to go all the way to the top but Bellingham, there's no reason he can't be the best midfielder in the world.

What a ridiculously brilliant goal that was. Jude with the through ball and Harry Kane showing how elite he is creating goals as well as scoring them. And the finish, wow.

Not to mention his passion and knowledge of the game. Remember him throwing up all sorts of bits about the opposition or a specific player that plays a certain way.

I wish this forum could permaban that word.

Honestly think we can make top 10 and even the back of my mind says play offs. We proved in some games last season we can play well, we can grind our performances and even excel. Good recruitment this summer and a manager who has spent time in this league languishing only to turn things round eventually. Have the faith.
