@Baddiel We're not creative enough, and we're not positive enough.

Successive managers at some level do not have the confidence that England can win from attack, from sustained attacking play. And we can. We fucking can.

The substitutions killed England here.

@Refsplaining The very idea that you can retrospectively decide whether decisions were definitely right or wrong is ridiculous.

Before VAR, refs got most decisions right, some wrong. There were others people didn't like but tolerated. Everyone assumed VAR would always give decisions they like. Now VAR corrects most errors. But there are still decisions people do not like. And they find that intolerable

I’ve no interest in the tennis but I’ve just seen this and it made me chuckle. British humour is the best. 😂

@cric_blog I doubt Stokes would want anyone labelling him as sensible, so I doubt he was worried about coming across that way or not. He's either got a right to end it on his own terms or he hasn't.

Wise words from Sir Andrew Strauss on the Ben Stokes retirement announcement. "Everyone has the right to bow out on their own terms, and no one has earned that more than Ben, but announcing before or after the game seems like a more sensible approach," Strauss wrote on LinkedIn. When you are in the middle of a match, the only thing that matters is the performance of the team."

@secondtierpod They are the only side that's got to the final on merit so in that sense he has a point, and the best outcome is them winning, but let's be honest they aren't just going to promote Hull and be done with it.

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has suggested the Tigers should be promoted directly to the Premier League. “Our lawyers’ opinion is that we should go directly to Premier League. “We had been preparing for Southampton for 10 days. All the planning, analysis, and work was focused on them.” (Quotes via: @Sport_Witness)

@FootballCliches File alongside the commentator telling us what subs are being made 30 seconds before we see it for ourselves when the 4th puts the board up. Hate it.

We have to ask, whether you are anti-VAR or not: do we really need the co-commentator to tell us what decision has been made/recommended before it's confirmed

@bandares32 @GabSutton @IpswichTown 4 starters yesterday were in our League One promotion team, another one was in the Championship side last time round. Money spent but it doesn't tell the whole story.

@GabSutton @IpswichTown Not straightforward- give it a rest man - parachute payments + offering Referees bonuses on their contracts.

Congratulations @IpswichTown 🍾 Yes, there may be more romantic stories in English football this year. Yes, they’ve had the resources. But relegations for Luton & Leicester show it’s by no means straightforward for first year parachute payees, a lot of other things go into it. All the best to them in the Premier League: take two 🤞🏻 #ITFC 🔵⚪️🚜

That's an incredible stat 🤯👏🏻

Build the statue

Ipswich Town have been promoted to the Premier League! 🚜

@secondtierpod Can we stop talking about it please?

PROMOTION PERMUTATIONS 😍 Oh yeah, today is going to be fun. Here's what you need to look out for: ✅IPSWICH will be promoted if they win. Simple 🦁For MILLWALL to go up, they need to beat Oxford and Ipswich not to win 🔴For MIDDLESBROUGH to go up, they need Ipswich to lose and Millwall not to win. Boro could still go up if Ipswich draw, but they’d need to beat Wrexham by 6 goals 🚜Ipswich can still be promoted if they fail to win - but they would need Millwall to also NOT win and Boro to avoid that 6 goal thrashing of Wrexham. Are we feeling stressed yet?

@secondtierpod Benty 👌 🔵⚪

On this day in 2015 🗓️ Derby County needed just a point on the final day to secure a play-off place… And they got beaten 3-0 by Reading. They were top of the table in February! 🤯 The biggest bottling in Championship history? 🤔

@alexnljones Harsh on Dara, also harsh to suggest the PL was too much for him. He was one of our better players last season. He's been faultless for the run in, and Matusiwa has stuttered, albeit probably due to injury.

Player of the Season award set to be announced soon. Who’s your pick? I’ve selected my top three (+ honourable mentions) here… 👇 #itfc eadt.co.uk/sport/26066252…

@ShakeyStephens Not a ridiculous suggestion

Hear me out. If we get promoted our first signing should be Cajuste #itfc

@JEll2499 @secondtierpod 😂😂😂

@secondtierpod Not going to talk about the foul on fellows in the build up then? 🤔

OH THIS IS MASSIVE 🤯 Wes Burns gives Ipswich the lead against Southampton and one foot back in the Premier League 👀

@Kieren_Lewis @Coyb_08 Walton?

@Coyb_08 I think you are correct. The last of the old guard 🥹

This could be the last 2 games we see Wes Burns in a Ipswich shirt #itfc

@markpougatch Does it need to be that deep?

Football reporters should never ever, ever, ever use the word ‘disaster’ in relation to giving a goal away. We’ve just marked the Hillsborough tragedy. Check your language. Do much better.

@secondtierpod Norwich mugged themselves off by making it so obvious they were desperate to get him sent off, the referee realised and decided not to play up to it. Chin up scummers.

Quite possibly the funniest thing in the Championship this season

Bread and butter

@CallMeStat A whole load of negative waffle. Bit strange really.

Mick Mills deflated me when I listened to the phone-in on way home Personally I didn’t hear any groans about Hirst. I also thought it seemed unfair to pick out Nunez as someone who doesn’t get criticised as “he’s popular despite crashing another free kick against the wall”
