Whitey Grandad

Tuchel Just now, "We decided to go to a back five to close up the holes because we couldn't stop their crosses " Er...

At least I saw 1966.

Their first goal reminded me of Saints v Ipswich a couple of seasons ago. Pack the box but leave acres of space on the edge of the area.

Watkins! I'd forgotten he was even there.

The first. Maybe. But the header?

It's so basic. You defend from the front. Not by filling the penalty area with defenders.

And correct.

No-one, nothing to blame except ourselves.

Whi is it that all of us could see this coming yet not this fraud of a manager.

From the moment that England sat back.

All those defenders and no-one to head the ball.

What a stupid waste of a glorious opportunity.

Inevitable. Stupid tactics.

If they get one they'll get two.

No outlet balls.

Brilliantly taken. He made it look easy.

They're dragging us down to their level.

We've already got it.

No comparison.

If a penalty is given then it's only a yellow. I believe.

Spence never got in front of his man. That's where he went wrong.

Good grief. It's the most obvious dive you could ever wish to see. Just ask yourself "Who is fouling whom?" Bobb is closer to the ball than Spence, Spence's right leg is thrust in between Bobb's legs from behind and on his left. Spence's left leg has given up completely and is always the dressing room. It should gave been a foul to Norway and a tellow card for Spence. I ask again, was Spence tripped?

Stonewall penalties are always the ones that are the least convincing. That was one of the most obvious attempts to cheat that you will ever see. Which leg do you think was tripped?

Let sleeping logs lie.

Our son spent a year there at the Technical University where all the courses were in the German language. It’s a lovely town with a very good micro-brewery. The second smallest in Germany we were told. There are copper vats behind the bar and the beer is piped from them overhead to the bar itself. Mind you, this was over thirty years ago. Wolfenbüttel a few miles to the south is also a lovely place.
