We struggle way more against teams who don't press us than teams who do. 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Well that is demonstrably untrue LOL  Teams with more possession than their opposition are much more likely to win, and the likelihood of victory increases as the gulf in possession between sides increases. Again, this has demonstrated and replicated in numerous studies.
We're decent enough..

Our best recent result and performance was our 3-0 against Scotland. What was most notable about that game was our energy, aggression and sustained press. That should be our focus, it is a realistic ambition, rather than becomming an accomplished passing team.

Brexiteers dream of a return to a "glorious past" - I'd say that's much more applicable to the likes of yourself.

George Hamilton making basic errors in commentary including who is on the pitch and who England play next. This has been happening for a while now. I think time for semi-retirement to Lyric FM!

No, in this analogy I'm more the Europhile who wants to get the madmen out of office and return some sanity to proceedings...
