Everything about the bloke is sleep inducing, never understood his appointment as he hardly succeeded as a club manager.

He fits the FA criteria. Some of the managers we would like to see given a chance, will never get that chance due to political correctness. I'd love to see Klop given a go but I can't see that happening.
I must agree, as a club manager he didn't set the world on fire, but there's talk of Manchester United wanting him 🤔.

Cocaine use.. wow, is that just the English then. ..
Give it a rest.. its very set of fans that have coke users

Wasn?t drug abuse supposed to be the driver behind the trouble at Wembley last time?

Maybe it is like alcohol, some people can take their Coke better than others.

Is it me or has VAR just given Croatia a penalty for one of the most blatent dives ever?

Hate to agree with you. Rodri may have brushed his leg in the tackle but that dive was pathetic. Fooled that TV VAR expert so there is absolutely no hope.

There was fans breaking into Wembley for the champions league final, were they English. ??
Far too many on here love a pile on, on the English fans, it's not always them that cause the trouble, but like the posters on here, the media love to blame them...

You can see beer showers after just about every team scores, bet on here later it's only the English that's done that too..

Absolutely pathetic some comments

They beat Spain 2-0 didn't they and have won a high percentage of competitive fixtures in recent years so think you're being harsh. And yes them getting smashed did amuse me.

Think they hit a bit of a purple patch for a couple of years but they seem to be going backwards rapidly.

That game was hard to judge and as a pundit said, Germany brilliant, or Scotland hopeless? It will be easier to judge after the second round of games but my suspicion is it will be the latter. Hope not though for a couple of reasons.

Reported by British police spotters that open use if cocaine being snorted by English fans, stop crying.

I think that particular incident has been pretty well documented.

I agree about the media though, can?t wait for trouble

Utter crap..
You saying there's been no trouble at any game so far?
I'd say there has, but cos it's not the English, nothing has been reported, there has been reports that around 500 hard-core Serbs are out for the English, but I'll also bet that it's the English that take the crap from the media if there's any trouble today...
Always the English.. my ?rse, it's just easier to blame them cos lemmings follow

Perhaps you should practice what you preach. Wait for these hard core Serbs to meet the Coke snorting English before falling for all this media hype you go on about.

I?m not blaming anyone. English, Serbs, Russians, whoever. I agree, the media love a good pile on on the English but it gets clicks and sells papers so will always happen. Sadly, there is nearly always incidents so the media get their story regardless of who is to blame.

Apologies in that case, misunderstood your post. And agree with this.

I?ve never taken any drugs, other than prescription issued, in my life, but talking to people who regularly go round pubs etc and some younger folk I know cocaine use is very very prevalent in todays society.

Albanians attacking Serbians. No English involved. That?s from the most senior German officer on the ground. Which will disappoint the English media. 6 arrests, all Serbian.

Not just in this country either, personally I wouldn't have a clue where to buy it, nor wish to find out.

Well the VAR official was out very own Stuart Atwell wasn?t it? Maybe protecting his mate Micheal Oliver, the ref, which may go some way to explaining it!
