    Consecutive semi-finals at major tournaments. Absolutely fantastic.

    Most complete knockout performance since Denmark in 2002.

    I was the first to criticise after the Scotland game and I stand by it as it was gash and should be called out.

    But that apart it’s been a masterclass in game-management. I can’t speak highly enough about this group of players and Southgate’s management through this tournament.

    I said it earlier and he is right behind Ramsey now in taking us to successive semi finals.

    I also criticise Sterling at times but he was so much better tonight. Credit where it’s due.

    Denmark will be much harder, but what an opportunity, we’ll not get a better one.

    The Doctor always seems to go through games unnoticed. Quality ref

    Brilliant. This is the best feeling watching England since Euro 96.

    Run out of beer and cider, so nipped to the shop at 4-0. What a team. We smashed them. Steady as she goes and we'll be there.

    In Southgate we trust.

    BTW dining table is fine.

    And just another reminder... Gareth Southgate:

    Has beaten the crap out of a minnow in Panama
    Won a penalty shootout
    Got to two Major Semi-Finals
    Beat the Germans
    Won a Euros KO game on foreign soil

    All we needed from that game was a win. And a clean sheet. And no bookings. 

    And no injuries, managing to use five subs to avoid too much tiredness, Kane to score a couple, Henderson to get his first goal for England, and a 'home' tie in the next round.

    That was not far off the perfect performance and players like Foden and Grealish didn’t even come on. Back at Wembley in front of 60k this is a new dawn for English football. After all the Covid shit etc it’s just perfect. I fucking love this group of players.

    Absolutely, and to think about how much negativity there was around him at the start. Jobs not done yet but I'm confident he'll be focusing the minds right now on that fact. It is nice to see the fans seemingly have bought in to his ideas now and thankfully the players did a long time ago.

    The bad news is that this will keep Southgate in post for another year. And apparently that is a disaster.
