I'm not certain that's the worst thing.
We are very poor against sides who choose not to take risks against us. The title contenders will HAVE to take risks to ensure a win.
I think we're in for a whole load of very spicy games coming up.
Find it really bizarre when I see momentary flare ups in the concourse over "bumps" like described above. We're all packed in like sardines, milling around. It's inevitable that there will be the odd bump.
I think he stays one more season.
Media talk of a rift between him and Bloom/Barber seems largely overblown to me. I think they have a healthier relationship than many realise.
This is the battle right here;
We need to finish top half of this table of 6 basically. Our goal difference helps. We also have to play 6th, 10th and 11th - big chances for us.
Play at the level of last night and we'll do it. Somehow got to carry that spirit through to the end of the season. 8th is achievable. Above that is looking tougher. West Ham and Newcastle fortunately both in slumps (relatively speaking), I think it's Chelsea that might sneak into the top 8.
We score fairly early. Another by about 35 minutes. Great atmosphere at this point.
They get one back and start to strangle the game going into the 2nd half. Endless stoppages for head injuries, cramp, substitutions, their goalie needs help lacing his boots, you know the stuff.
We get a third...
We don't know what happened ultimately. Southgate could be saying there's no issue moving forwards, doesn't mean there wasn't a bust up originally. Who's to blame for that original bust up? No idea.
But I get the sense White isn't popular generally with a number of others in the England set up...
I don't think anything Southgate said contradicts any of that?
Southgate is saying the door is open, but I suspect White doesn't want to play for England under the current set up - due to whatever happened.
