Nice to see it ain?t just England putting in turgid performance. France are challenging us on the front

France have been fine. They are making chances, having shots and even getting in the opposition box! Radical stuff. Belgium on the other hand, garbage.

Any half way competent manager, and some incompetent (as Southgate has proven), would do the same with these players.

Don?t be silly

Even Gary Caldwell would have had the same output in this tournament. Southgate has sucked the life out of this team and any enjoyment for me. I didn't even celebrate when we equalised last night. People were jumping around screaming and I think I just sipped my beer and continued to be disappointed.

The footage doing the rounds of the lads playing pool in The Barrel when Bellingham equalised is funny, just glad I don?t play league pool on that table in there any more lol.

Not at all. But Southgate's England are an utter bore and he's become a caricature of himself.

His job is to win matches and get results and you can?t argue he?s doing a great job

The pace and verve of Portugal is light years in front of our utter lethargy.

If we happen to win the tournament I will agree. But would still show him the door.

If we win a first tournament in 58 years you?d sack the manager?

[Snowflake McBedwetter]

We'll get battered by the first decent team we come up against.

That the same Portugal that are also struggling to make decent chances against a well organised Slovenia..

It wouldn?t be a sacking. He is out of contract later in the year and fully expect him to leave whatever.

Slovenia have been magnificent. You?d imagine Portugal will eventually wear them down in extra time but stranger things have happened. Portugal would be a much better team if they binned the Ronaldo show. Embarrassing.

The free kick he tried for at the end of the first half would have defied Johnny Wilkinson at his prime.

Tbh I can't see Portugal scoring ( ok in next 5 mins now) they've run out of ideas, agree about Ronaldo tho, he's a shadow of the player he was, his reactions have gone as has his pace, wouldn't be surprised to see the Slovenians nick one on the break
