I hope you're right Citizen. A result like that would certainly have me leaping around the living room with joy. Unfortunately I have to work late tonight and will only get home in time for the second half but I still feel that it is potentially the biggest banana skin for us so far in the competition. Basically it's shit or bust so I'll be watching with fingers crossed and buttocks clenched from behind the sofa.

I would have thought England will comfortably get a result tonight. Croatia won't be playing with the handbrake off and the sense of needing a result should mean England's players will be up for it (as opposed to SAYING they are up for it which is what they usually do)

Having watched the first few minutes, I smoked a joint. Have never found a game of football so funny!


Ian Wright got it spot on after the match, England didn't deserve to go through on what they did throughout the campaign. We were handed a chance, that we didn't deserve, on a plate, and still couldn't muster a performance!


I was full of affection for Beckham last night, because his old legs were still trying, and like so many times before, he was one of the only ones that looked like he really really cared!

Thought Croutch could hold his head up too, he even looked okay in the first half, but got nothing from his team mates.

It pains me to say it, but Stevie G was a bit shit.


I refuse to lay the blame with Carson, if it wasn't for him, we would have lost by a landslide. Just hope he comes through this because he's a better keeper than Robinson.

>>Oh well, only a game of footie. Nobody died<<



Tsk! Go and wash your mouth out. :)) As the venerable and wise sage St William of Anfield famously decreed..."Football is not a matter of life and death - it is far more important than that".


I had high hopes of us winning the whole thing had we scraped through last night, on the ground that mediocre teams can win the Euro....see Greece last time out for example. Croatia played better than us in both games. The only bit of real class last night from England was Beckham's cross and Crouch's finish...


Anyway, spilt milk etc...

I predicted this result...well 1-2 actually but wasn't far off was I. Most people when they're sacked get f**k all but McLaren walks away with two and a half million quid for failure. Nice work if you can get it.

I wasn't confident about this match before last night but when I saw the formation we were going to deploy I knew we were doomed.

We're playing home and we need a result and he plays one man up front on his own. Doesn't inspire confidence does it. Lampard & Gerrard can't play together, we've known that for ages. I thought it was Gerrard's worse performance in an England shirt but he wasn't the only one. We were rubbish throughout most of this tournament and got what we deserved. F**k all! Apart from McLaren that is, who has trousered a nice big fat cheque.

What did the FA honestly expect from a manager who was their fourth choice, and was a rubbish club manager. Having said that only Crouch came away with a scrap of credit for the way he performed last night. The others looked less than average. As Jah said, it's a must win game and we play one up front, and that is a guy who, let's face it, would not get into many sides in the prem.

One up front, and you leave the only man with a hope of feeding him on the bench! I know Beckham needed to be fitter, but at least he could have put a cross on Croutches head!


I thought Darren Bent did very very well in making that chance for himself towards the end, I know he didn't score, but most people wouldn't have got a touch on the ball let alone a shot! I know spurs are struggling, but I really do like Bent, and think he may have a future...

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
