She's fuckin awful, I thought Eastenders was on. First time I've seen her and hopefully the last.

She’s incredibly good at her job

One big rocket up their fucking arses at half time.

Proper management. Got Bellers bang at it, he was superb 2nd half.

Subs blew em out the water too.

Not sure on Riley at full back, he either needs more cover or replacing.

Job done..could've been 8-2.

Strange how people see things differently. I thought Reilly was excellent. Told to come inside to create some rotation and free some space up for Rice on the outside. Caused them problems and was a massive part of how much control we had.

Missed a sitter obviously

But has no idea how to dress. Looks a mess.

Bellingham MOTM

Gordon and Madueke will do well to start the next game

She knows more about football than any of us. I also don’t see people like Merson getting any level of hate, when it seems that English is his 3rd language

I’m not sure if that’s sarcastic or not, but I’m not sure what her dress sense has to do with how qualified she is to talk about footy.

Mmmmm. Are you sure about that?

Well she’s earning about a million dollars a year in the game, so I’d probably say so, yeah.

Whether she does or not she is horrendous to listen to.....as are quite a few but she grates on me the most. However if we get Gabby Agbonlahor or Clinton Morrison on she will fall down the pecking order

Best opening game since that 82 game against France. Thoroughly enjoyable

Great post.

Fantastic first performance. When I think back to some of our really poor and/or uninspiring first games, it puts it in perspective how good that was.

Really enjoyed that opening England Game 👏

God knows, the Dark Ages?

She is the most successful women's club manager in history and was sought after and secured by the USA, the biggest job in international women's football. She knows the game, explains it clearly and well, and could be in a Onesie for all I care

That woman in the kitchen didn't quite work.

Get some chips on luv.

Do better, lads, FFS, this sort of shit wasn't funny in the 80s

4th goal was crucial. They had us penned in our penalty area, Rashford boots it to no-one and it comes straight back at us.

Seen this before and wasn't looking forward to it.

Couple of mins later, we keep the ball and play out, force an error and Saka finds Rashford. All our subs were influential in fact. Spence did well.

I know what you mean but its now pantomime humour, to me anyway.

I'll take pundits with blackboards any day over this which is what it was really introduced for

A perfect summation in my view. I would say that the only player I thought had a poor game was O'Reilly. He'll make up for this soon.

Hold on pal. He's top of the virtue signallers league. Show some respect

Are you addressing that to ITV?

The chalkboard thing was fucking awful. Not surprised some looked for a funny side. God forbid anyone smiled at this horrendous sexism. Do you have the number for the fun police?

That doesn't mean someone else who isn't doing what she does isn't as knowledgeable, which is what you stated.

She won't get anywhere near managing in the men's game neither, so an unreasonable comparison.

Fwiw, I've always thought she is very good as a pundit and comes across as decent.

That doesn't mean she can be free from criticism- look at the bile spouted about just about every pundit. They are men, so it isn't a sexism related set of comments, which I sense may be behind your comments.

The greatest example of equity is being able to criticise women equally to men, and compliment them likewise.

As for the programme, that chalkboard was dreadful and whoever thought it would be a good idea was way off the mark.
