    Bottled what exactly? I know the result would’ve been raw last night, as it still is today, but that’s absolute rubbish.

    We were largely outplayed by a good Italian side. It’s incredibly frustrating because we are also a good side, but didn’t play like we can. We had the better first half, as you mention, before Italy took control of the game. We went to penalties and came up short. Players are allowed to miss penalties. We took three poor penalties, but even still, it’s not bottling anything.

    If we managed to win on penalties, the narrative would be that we heroically dug deep when up against it and got the job done on penalties, rather than that of a not so great performance. Fine margins. No bottling.

    Clearly it’s not the result we wanted and this really felt like “our chance” in what was effectively a home tournament where the stars seemed aligned. Despite that, we’ve had a great couple of weeks and they’ve given us two or three nights which I personally will remember forever. They’ve done us proud over the past month. “Bottle job” is just lazy and so wide of the mark.

    Thanks England, for making us believe again.

    I think your caps total tells us all we need to know about your status as a ‘supporter’. So difficult when you climb on the bandwagon at the last minute and don’t get the result you want.

    When you have been to as many hone and away games for the past 43 years like myself Paul you get to know what to expect.
    I have learnt to relax in to game that aren't going our way ?
    I guess I will see you on many many more home and away games over the coming years.
