    Is any one else like me and can’t get excited for the euros this summer?

    I am usually really negative about international Football. This summer though I am really looking forward to it and was disappointed when it couldn't take place last summer.

    We actually have a genuine chance of winning the whole thing and the competition for places there will be guys who will feel hard done by who don't make the squad. Especially with regards to strikers.

    I think there is a chance of us winning it but I’m not sure Southgate is the right manager to do it seems too defensive for me but time will tell. What annoys me about international football are all the people that know nothing about football carrying on like idiots

    I was looking forward to it a lot more before I had all my tickets taken away from me. I’m still in a huff about that

    I will do. I feel really deflated at the moment but I’m sure once the tournament gets going I will be up for it

    Will no doubt watch it but not getting excited at the thought of it particularly. In theory it's winnable but somehow we never seem to be able to!

    First one I've not worked on since 1990, I think, so yes - looking forward to watching it from the sofa. Not the England games so much - too much baggage around them - but those unexpected group games that throw up some crackers..

    Southgate picks players on form which is why he left Arnold out of his last squad. So with the two best sides in the country being from Manchester I suspect seven from there will be in the starting 11. The whole back four (Shaw, Walker, Stones, Maguire) and three further up (Foden, Sterling, Rashford). Based off stats Pope should be the keeper. Kane is the captain. That leaves two more.

    Like I said there will be a few guys who have had a really good season but will still miss out on the squad. Bamford will probably be one of them.

    I'll definitely be looking out for Michal Helik.

    I would be more excited if it was back to 16 teams, the group stages are a waste of time. I'll be wfh though so it will be nice to watch.

    I feel mixed emotions. Lost my Czech Republic ticket and my wife’s for the Scotland game. I was lucky enough to be drawn out of the ballot so retained my Scotland ticket. Had tickets for semi and final if England get there but lost them as it stands so have to wait and see if we get them nearer the date if we get there.

    I'm knackered myself after over 60 games in the last 11 months
