France to beat Germany. For those not planning to watch the game, you'll hear about it here if I'm wrong Germany have got injuries and France were awesome in their last game. Just think Germany are a better organised outfit with quality to boot. Fair enough, could very easily go either way. Griezmann and Payet in excellent form, Pogba and Giroud looking decent as well. Germany aren't as exciting this year as they have been, but can't ever be written off.

Needed Ramsey for sure and JA getting an early booking kind of hindered the midfield. A game too far for them unfortunately but they can return home to applause. Portugal are poor ,but maybe like Greece that time a solid but boring team will win ? No, Germany will expose them in the final. France to beat Germany. For those not planning to watch the game, you'll hear about it here if I'm wrong

Another option: buy a ticket but don't attend. That way the protest is registered but the club doesn't lose out on revenue. Nope - attendance is synonymous with ticket sales surely, we aren't counted once we're in the ground.

Were you a Remain campaigner? Are you sore about the referendum result? Check out these 10 top self-comforting strategies. 1.) Call every white person who voted Leave a "racist", ignoring the fact that Europeans are also white. Make sure you ignore and marginalise ethnic minority leave voters. 2.) Claim that the (huge) turnout wasn't high enough. 72%? It should have been at least 75%! 80%? It should have been 85%! Make sure to keep moving the goalposts. 3.) Make a stupid e-petition demanding another referendum, just like the socialists did when Labour lost last year. We need to keep having referendums until we get the "right" result. 4.) Get over-excited about the economy, even if the impact has been pretty boring and mundane. Pretend that your 2:2 in English Literature makes you an expert on currency markets. 5.) Attack the very idea of Democracy, because it's only a good thing when it goes the way you want it to. Working class voters don't know what's good for them, but middle class liberals definitely do. 6.) Share memes bashing Brexit, ignoring the unwelcome and uncomfortable realisation that you are in the minority of public opinion. 7.) Boldly claim that Scotland will leave the UK, forgetting that A) they can't afford to B) the EU can't afford to take them C) 1.6m remain votes don't cancel out 2m NO votes. 8.) Make fun of Boris Johnson while sweating slightly and really hoping he doesn't become Prime Minister. 9.) Learn absolutely nothing from the campaign, blaming the result on everyone but yourself. Scaremongering and bullying are clearly the best tactics to use, there's no way they could possibly backfire. 10.) Curl up in a ball and cry yourself to sleep while listening to "Ode to Joy". Leave Campaigners 1) Win with good grace. No need for 9 others until you've mastered point 1. Leave have won with far more grace than Remain have lost with.

I think the most worrying thing about all of this is arguably Cameron's resignation. The worry is that he sees things we don't and has woken up and gone "sh*t this is going to be a mess, better get myself as far away as possible". Add that to the fact that, regardless of what you think of him, he is an evidently competent politician, unlike many of the others. I pray that Corbyn stays, because it's the only surefire way to prevent a labour government in the event of a general election due to a new Tory leader. All of this from somebody who voted Leave - but as much as I believe it will do us good in the long run, there will be a period of instability, which Cameron's resignation will exacerbate. u Surely it was inevitable Cameron would leave if he couldn't have enough influence on us to vote remain? You could certainly make that argument, and undoubtedly it's a failure on Cameron's part. Although I'm not sure how relevant that is - ideally Cameron shouldn't have taken a side to the extent that he did, but it happened and I'd still argue that in the short term we'd have benefitted from the stability of his remaining.

Everybody on my Facebook is sharing the Farage video but I'm unsure as to what point they're trying to make. Farage isn't even an MP let alone the Chancellor or PM, so how can they criticise him for making a promise he obviously couldn't have made?

Our best players in the first game were Rooney and Walker, maybe Dier. Our best players in the second game were Rooney and Walker. Danny Rose did well in both games. In the third game in which the whole tournament is still in the balance based on the final group positions, our Woy "rests" Rooney Walker and Rose. Why? What other country does that? It's the same nonsense every single tournament but can never help being sucked in by it all every time.

He's a good age for a centre half. We have to consider that we're able now to build a defence around Lockyer - Hartley is old enough to give the pairing some experience (which Parkes wasn't sufficiently mature enough to do) and young enough that he will be in his peak and able to play week in week out still, unlike Macca. Good signing.

Kane had a bad game because he was a yard off the pace and IMO he is still in dejected Spurs mode.Nothing to do with Rooney who pulled the strings in midfield, allowed Alli to basically have a free role covered for Alli defensively and until he was taken off for weetabix legs ran the game. The game was crying out for Vardy and his sharpness to replace the turd impression Kane. We didnt need Wilshere and f*cking Milner who like Gareth Barry should never play football for England. Harry Kane looks physically and mentally drained and I will be disappointed if he starts ahead of Vardy on Thurs against Bales. Agree with all of this. Rooney played well and was by no means the problem. I'm a big fan of Kane and he could be important for England for a decade potentially but as you say, he looked jaded. Sterling was poor also.

Another thing to note is that the fact that somebody is a moderator doesn't mean that it's okay to make any statement or accusation about them unchallenged. Repeatedly calling somebody a bully is actually a relatively serious accusation. I don't know whether certain posts are in reference to myself or Lord Sugar. I myself posted something in response to Twertonkid - I felt he was deliberately antagonising and irritating other posters, so I posted something to irritate him. Is this something I am proud of or would do again with the benefit of hindsight? Perhaps not. But we are all only human and if we all lynched every member who occasionally makes an error in judgement we would not have many posters left. Bullying is defined as "often repeated and habitual" and I wonder if you could find a moderator who directly replied to Twertonkid more than once or twice - certainly I did not. iys your forum mate, do what you like. Where in that thread was he antagonistic though? He posted a design of some shirts, wrote a bit extra which was good natured and then you posted that and it made him leave. Dont think you can say he deserved it on the back of that thread but that's just my opinion. It isn't my forum mate and evidently doing what I like results in some kind of scrutiny and questioning, which I have freely responded to and is perhaps only right. Where in my post do I say he deserved it? In your post you completely ignore the majority of what I've said, so what was the point of engaging with my post at all? If you were to look back through my posting history, before and since I have been a moderator, I doubt you'd be able to find more than one or two other confrontations in total. The only purpose of Twertonkid's post was to antagonise and mislead other gasheads. I don't know whether you posted on the old OF or anything like that but I can assure you it is not uncharacteristic behaviour from him, and that he is fully aware of the implications of what he posts.

This thread has changed in character. Would the Mods and OP consider retitling it as " Transfer Market News and Speculation"? Thanks. Done. This is why I should be a mod. Don't call us we'll call you
