Spain will toy with Argentina this evening.

Maybe we could start a AFC World Cup and take our beautiful game back from the corrupt mofo’s

Looks quite damning, Pete. But as you say, could be a load of bollocks. That said, I dont recall any dodgy VAR stuff from our match against them.

Anything in this? [Link]

Depends what the cost is (in both cases). If they hires contractors, then yes that is a cost the taxpayers have to eat. If they used their own staff resource, than it's not a real cost, but it would stop the Councils undertaking some other work, or delaying it

Nottinghamshire County Council spent £75,000 installing flags at a cost of about £457 per flag.

England 52/0

Well.sutton council removed 430 flags at cost of 27k, £63 a flag.so maybe the Dons trust might charge burt a few quid to take wup flags down:-)

I’d argue that all we had to do against Argentina would have been to leave someone quick on the halfway line. An outlet from the pressure, and would take either 1 or 2 Argies out of the penalty area.

RK I think Bert is still banned for posting filth.

Got a feeling that this forum will become very pro Spanish later today. Has Bert got some Spanish flags?

Trigger is right, taking Gordon off allowed Argentine to push up

8/10 for England in this world cup ,throughly enjoyed it and 4 of the England matches were super exciting. Never been so entertained watching England, super manager,super team!

Ferret - maybe just get Stevens steel toe-capped boots to wear at home? Or plastic salad cream/mayo bottles?

Yes sorry carshalton, it was another wup.poster,just assumed it was you as the pessimistic post:-)

Though I will say, to OI’s point, that if you’re a CB then you know how to head the ball in your own six yard box regardless of opponent or circumstance. The defending throughout that dreadful period was schoolboy stuff and in particular for their second goal.

Substituting Gordon was the catalyst so Tuchel takes the honours. Was one of our best players on the night and he takes him off - in a World Cup semi final.

There are clearly two camps that will never agree with each other, we fell back against Argentina because of the manager and we fell back against Argentina because of the players. Nobody is going to convince anyone to change camps.

Spit-think you need to learn to read I said no such thing

Any riots in France last night?

Had to look up Superb Owl. Never heard that before!

At least we won’t have to endure the embarrassment of England participating in a Superb Owl type event with the half time show featuring unheard of rap artists and ra ra girls…

about ten minutes before the end of the match last night, I heard a drum, or so I thought. A few minutes later flashing blue lights appeared on Brighton Road, Sutton. No drum, yet another accident and apparently the drum was the car hitting a brick wall. Went out to look, and failed to work out how it happened. Will take another look today and have a chat with neighbours across the road.
