Happy to give him a chance.

Not sure being second best to Slovakia for 120 minutes is the time to give it a "Told you so".

I don't respond to bait by a side that were saved by an offside toenail though.

When Slovakia scored I turned round to the people I was with in boxpark and said: "we are in trouble here. Southgate is out of ideas". And I still think I'm right, he was a minute away from losing his job and our last throw of a dice was on overhead kick that saved his job. The limbs at that moment though, in that atmosphere at Wembley, you couldn't make it up. I'm sure after this tournament and think it's rather sad that my greatest ever moment was a 95th minute goal against England in my Gazza 96 shirt, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I hope we improve, but I can't see us beating Switzerland given we didn't improve. Southgate will be a Palace manager sooner rather than later

If he said that I'm suddenly nervous. The issue is there is no cohesion. Three players all dropping deep to get the ball whilst the fluidity of our play has been the level of a Championship team. I'm watching the game with people I haven't watched England with since the Iceland debacle, which doesn't help my nerves. I have every faith in us defensively but there's been so many out of the area goals this tournament I'm concerned if something happens Southgate doesn't have an answer.

Incredibly insulted give he's a shoe in to manage Crystal Palace in the next couple of years.

I hope Derby had a sell on clause.

Italy looked like a Championship team but credit to Switzerland they looked very impressive. We would have to improve significantly to get past them if they play like that again.

I expected that (and the Tah change), I think tournament football suits that profile of striker well.

It sounds like it's got better but they always do something that makes me think ffs. I like Ospreay/Swerve for example, and then I hear they've got MJF back to challenge Daniel Garcia. I was made aware of this and I'll be watching Jeff's matches in The Owen hoping he wins the thing now, but with the creative I don't know whether they'll follow through with him being in the final to tell a great story of they'll have him lose to a random generic wrestler in his first match.

Is this the thing Adam Cole is on the board for? I find it incredibly sad he's allowed to live a life of wealth free from any consequences when he's ruined so many lives.

You'd think the possibilities are endless when you're outlaying over £1bn and yet here Chelsea are making enquiries about Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. They've surely got players in there already sizeable squad that can do what KDH did for Leicester, but in the Premier League. This is a squad that has Cole Palmer who we thought would play that position, Conor Gallagher who can play that position, and Carney Chukwuemeka coming through to play that position (as well as half of South America's kids arriving soon) then why do they specifically need KDH? They've brought Maresca in to coach these players so that is what he needs to do. If the current players don't quite fit his system, he needs to adapt the system. I think they've got enough players that they can fit any system. He'll become the scapegoat for when this inevitably fails. The new Jorginho. He won't get the chance he deserves from the fans particularly if they sell Conor Gallagher.

I'll watch the matches I like on pay per view but that's it. WWE's taking all my attention at the minute. Drew vs Punk, Cody back on The Bloodline, Jacob Fatu, Wyatt 6, Joe Hendry, there's a lot I like at the minute.

I'll probably give it a miss this year. Have a child due early September. If I was to go I'd probably wait until the day to see if I could get a ground seat for less than 40 quid.

I think this could be quite a boring game but given how good the French are defensively my feeling is they'll win this 1-0.

Have to fancy Austria to beat a Turkish team without Calhanoglu.
