Actually, I was thinking about how France only got here because Bosnia bottled it in the last minutes. And how Montenegro made the play offs despite being having a population of like 4 and how Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia are all pretty strong sides right now, too.

I reckon if Yugoslavia still existed they'd be boss as hell. Same as how they would have been in the early 90s too, if it wasn't for the fact they were too busy trying to kill each other instead.

It was my intention to post a thread two days ago entitled "Where has Artetafan gone ffs?".

Welcome back lid, the lure of Inglaterra done it again. It's like your catnip.

Dont be gutted, we are not. When you are 4th seed you have to expect that kind of draw. Bring them on i say, they wont relish playing us either, and we will certainly have a massive majority of fans at all games.

Can't see us getting more than 2 or 3 points tbf. But you never know. We'll draw against Croatia, narrowly lose to Spain, then go into the Italy game needing to win. We'll keep it tight and then press for a winner in the last 10 minutes which doesn't come. Unless Trap hasn't used up all his divine goodwill yet...

Well the way i realistically see it is although croatia and italy are technically better than us i think in tournament games like this in a neutral venue we have a 50/50 chance to beat them. Spain should beat us, unless we somehow do an england and defend at the edge of our box and get loads of luck.

So i think 4 points and possibly 2nd in the group is attainable if we play to our limits.

I just posted the other week about Coleman, lad. Shows how much attention you pay.

Nah, seriously cheers. To be honest, it's just that after most of the games this season talking, and indeed thinking, about Everton has been the last thing I've wanted to do. I'm the classic 'only sing when I'm winning' guy, when we're **** I just clam up entirely about footie.

Reckon Croatia are better than Italy myself, so if we're gonna get 1 win to get to 4 points Italy's our best chance. I just find it difficult to see how we are going to finish above both Croatia and Italy to get 2nd spot.

Grand, really. I miss Liverpool but Durham's a nice place and everything pretty cheap so can't complain.

I've picked a bad time to be surrounded by Newcastle fans, like. Was in the home end for our game with a bloke from work's spare ticket which was an awful fecking experience. 90 minutes of trying desperately to not look too miserable while we kept skying chances from five yards out.
 
Dear Jim, please can you fix it for Ireland to get through and somehow face France. Please.
 
There's nothing like them belters up there, a special breed. You're in Durham though so point out that they should be supporting Sunderland, the English team. Also point out that traditionally Newcastle is the Scottish team as it's over the river and that was the original historical border.

None of this is true but they'll bite like [Poor language removed].

You off home for Christmas? I hate it when I have to spend Christmas away from home, it's dump.
