I can’t understand. We’ve appeared to go into the last three games with more of an inferiority complex than we had against Spain and Norway a couple of years ago - and our players are playing at a higher level today than they were then.

Completely bizarre when you’ve got Premier League winners, Champions League winners, Serie A winners, and a good few players playing at sides in the top 4-5 spots in the top 5 leagues. No reason to be going out with an underdog mentality.

That’s fantastic. And such a simple yet – in retrospect – obvious idea. Respect to Parma 👏👏👏

Oh yes. I’m speaking specifically about the top of Charing Cross road itself, leading up to TCR station - the Outernet and 2-3 garish new blocks that have gone up in recent years. As soon as you’re off that stretch, heading in to Soho proper it feels like visiting an old friend again.

I know it’s tangential to your point, but that place feels like such a dystopian hellscape now. I used to work opposite the old Foyles/above Crobar. Left London 6-7 years ago and found myself walking past it for the first time in ages a year or so back. Horrible eerie feeling to it.

I’ve got a feeling there must be something I’m completely missing. It cannot possibly be the O’Hara block on Shankland, given O’Hara wasn’t one of the two Saints players starting in an offside position. I’m just completely confused 🤨

I think it’s now very important that progressives and moderates on the right and left all get over their fear of upsetting people and start publicly calling out racism for what it is. On TV, on the radio, in newspaper columns. Claim the old “just telling it like it is” mantra
