Morocco have beaten Belgium, Croatia, Spain and Portugal without conceding a goal. England have beaten Iran, Wales and Senegal, drawn with USA and lost to France. Yet England are the best performing team at the tournament? Incredible comment from a so called expert.

I don’t think any team at #Qatar2022 has performed better than England over the 5 games. Croatia/Italy games needed tactical changes to stop the pressure. Last night at 1-1 Gareth needed to be braver with his changes & go for the win. #ENGFRA

Gareth Bale receiving an MBE and publicly stating how proud he is has really shown up some of the Welsh Independence crew to be the hate filled, spiteful and bitter lot that they are, something I've said for years. Really unsavoury characters a lot of them. Da iawn Gareth.

Called it after the World Cup. The FAW should have shaken Rob Page's hand and sent him on his way, but instead they rewarded his mediocrity with a new 4 year contract. Since they we've been piss poor at home to Latvia, an extremely lucky draw at Croatia, and now this shambles.

When we play Cardiff we're not just facing a football club. We're facing the biased national Cardiff media, we're facing the Cardiff centric Government, we're facing the arrogance. It's much more than football, it's political in so many ways, and that's why it means so much.

I don't think I've ever heard the team booed when winning, but this is the level of entitlement amongst our fan base these days. Youngest team in the league and this is the 'support' they get. We're a small club continually punching above our weight. Who do people think we are?!

As the Swans are 12th, and closer to the play offs than relegation, I'm wondering where the Martin out brigade think we should be. To my eye this squad of players are no better than 12th, and anyone who thinks another manager could take us higher are deluded. Just my opinion.
