The pre-season is well and truly in full swing with Brentford playing matches in Germany (Bochum) and against Borehamwood, Kaiserslautern and Peterboro at Griffin Park. How are the new signings Sawyers, Egan and Bentley shaping up? What about the other new signings of Bjelland, McLeod, Hogan and McEachran - all long term injuries who now feel like signing new players.

England scored a last minute winner to beat Wales who's fans at the time were chanting "England's going home".

A fitting result to an exciting game.

We chat to England & Wales fans in the streets and bars of Lens after the match.

Billy Grant from Beesotted spoke on The Phil Williams show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday night about the trouble in Marseille and his fears for the forthcoming England game in against Wales in Lens along with UK security advisor Chris Phillips and Dan Roan from the BBC.

Russia will be playing Slovakia in Lille the day before the England match (Wednesday) and tens of thousands of England fans will be staying in Lille on Wednesday and Thursday as accommodation in Lens is sparse.

As you will hear, Chris Philips - former head of UK Counter Terrorisom Security Office (who has advised the UK Government on dealing with crowds) - agreed wholeheartedly with Billy Grant’s points who re-iterated a statement he made on BBC Rado 5 earlier that went somewhat unbelieved - that England fans had been targeted from day one by French hooligans. Since then, Russian thugs had stepped onto the scene.

He also pointed out that it was footage released by Beesotted showing French hooligans attacking English fans - which has since gone viral - that has gone some was to educating the press (and the world) on what was really going on in Marseille.

Billy revealed that he was told by British police on his return to the UK who met fans off the train at St Pancras (cue “Informer" music for regular podcast listeners) that French police had refused advice from the UK police force on how to police this tournament. Chris Phillips confirmed this was the case.

Billy also referred to the mini documentary he shot a few months ago interviewing Ultras in Marseille who predicted the chaos of Euro 2016, stating “The French Police are Incompetent” and would struggle to handle large crowds of football fans based on their tactic of simply banning away fans from travelling for teams with large away support like PSG and Olympic Marseille.
