I've cleared the afternoon of plans, made sure I have some popcorn in the house, and a cold beer in the fridge. Can't wait!

merlotgran Fri 01-Jul-16 20:35:48

Anniebach Fri 01-Jul-16 20:30:27

Anyone have a quick cure for a nervous breakdown please?

Along with thoughts about the PM, who will take on the poisoned chalice now.
Some of these "boys" are earning £350,000 a week. Well Mr Rooney certainly is.

AB you're right, I just read his contract was finishing at the end of the month.

PRINTMISS Tue 28-Jun-16 08:43:47

I just wonder if the England team knew the point of the game - i.e. score goals. They were pathetic - totally useless at playing a game they are grossly over-paid to do. It is their JOB, if they cannot do it, they should be made redundant. They did not deserve the support of the loyal fans who paid a great deal of money to cheer them - ended in boos, and quite rightly so.

Can't help feeling sorry for the fans too....such a poor show, England.

Feel sorry for Hodgson, too. He deserved a better performance than that. sad

Anniebach Mon 27-Jun-16 23:33:47

I think I heard a commentator say his contract was due to end in a few days ,NI could have misheard. I now understand what you meant about the prepared sheet,

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 27-Jun-16 23:17:25

That's what I was talking about AB, it looked like he had his statement ready prepared. I wonder if he was stepping down no matter how far England got?

Anniebach Mon 27-Jun-16 23:05:44

Hodgson has resigned

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 27-Jun-16 22:21:41

Anybody notice Roy Hodgson was reading from a prepared sheet?

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 27-Jun-16 22:20:35

That was a shock, but Iceland was the better team tonight.

Anniebach Mon 27-Jun-16 22:04:45

So sorry England

Dh is watching his third match of the day.
I am lying on the bed, watching Casualty and eating too much chocolate.

I made history today by watching two football matches, I am not sure I will ever get over the excitement.

tanith Sat 25-Jun-16 20:13:15

Nice one Wales, commiserations to N.Ireland.

Greyduster Sat 25-Jun-16 20:01:31

Well, two for the price of one today! Wales won against N.Ireland, and my grandson played for Wales in their school mini Euro 2016 football tournament at the Summer Fair (in absolutely awful, pouring rain, bless them) and they won the tournament! Grandad's cup runneth over!

Charleygirl Sat 25-Jun-16 19:04:29

I agree, well done Wales- I wonder who they will be up against next?

LullyDully Sat 25-Jun-16 19:03:14

Well done Wales.grin

gettingonabit Sat 25-Jun-16 18:57:17

Yay!! Through to quarter final!

Well done Wales. wine
