    Oh dear Arsenal.

    Good quote from the BBC sport website:
    All these Arsenal fans saying they don't care about not winning the title seems like a classic "never fancied her anyway" excuse after being turned down by a girl they just asked for a date

    :)

    Just turned it on and Australia scored within 10 seconds. Sorry.

    I've just done the same with the reverse result.
    You can thank me later. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I thought that was me minimising the window so I didn't see the England goal.

    I saw that one though.

    Sam Kerr missed a couple of absolute sitters.

    The number of Australians with Spanish heritage just went up tenfold.

    Sounded like a reasonably comfortable win in the end. With Reading getting first league win since February last night too, it's been a pretty good couple of days considering it's the cricket season :)

    Happy with that. Need to find an excuse to contact as many Aussies as possible o:)

    They will just get their own back during the rugby World Cup.

    Anyway, it'll be far more annoying if you are a gracious winner. Australians can't handle that.

    We are indeed gracious. We sent them a bottle of wine last time we won the RWC.

    Yesterday was an eye-opener for sure, along with their other recent results too. Imagine the pressure Poch must be under to get that mega expensive set of individuals to play as a team. I think they've just bought way too many players way to quickly.

    Nice stroll in the park for England tonight :)

    I was going to say we did score all the goals.

    Hopefully the next one will bit a bit more of a challenge.

    When I spotted Mcguire coming on at HT, I said to my son "Is that to even the game up".
    Didn't watch the second half, but then chuckled this morning when I heard he had scored an own goal!

    Man is an over rated walking disaster on the pitch.
    Peaked while at Leicester.

    I think he's an example of how out of date football is. He is very slow, we know this, and it is his biggest weakness. The reason he's always on the scene when something bad happens is because he is usually in the photo of the goal, behind the scorer.

    However I refuse to believe that any 30 year old professional athlete can be THAT slow, or can be incapable of improvement. I see absolutely no evidence that anyone has done anything to try to address it in training, so that he can sprint in anything other than a flat footed upright running for the bus carrying shopping sort of a way.

    Or sprint at all. Has anyone ever actually seen him sprint?

    Feel sorry for him with all the abuse he has to take, many would have totally crumbled by now….but, he is a walking disaster. Terrible back pass, own goal or a clumsy tackle resulting in a red card is always frightening likely.

    Southgate’s unwavering support of McGuire might be linked to his own euro missed penalty in 96.

    Possibly. Don't think Ten Hag rates him?

    That's a good result and qualification for the Euro's too.
