Losing to Germany at Wembley with heightened media criticism and a cacophony of boos ringing round the stadium?
At least Keegan knew his time was up and did the honourable thing. But sadly I think it's unlikely this time around.
Southgate said that last night was a step in the right...
The rom com Breaking Up wasn't great.
"Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek make attractive leads, but they have neither the marquee power nor the requisite chemistry to keep Breaking Up from getting left at the altar of general distribution." - Ken Eisner, Variety
When the Nations League was first conceived, the idea was that it would reduce the number of meaningless friendlies.
England's relegation means we can now look forward to the footballing powerhouses of Georgia, Kazakhstan and Montenegro.
Still, I'm sure we'll hear from Southgate and the FA...
"It’s a spell where ultimately results are going to be the thing that everyone reacts to but I thought there were a lot of positives for us as a team tonight."
"Lots of good individual performances. I personally thought the performance is a step in the right direction. I completely understand...
Nailed it.
Having played as a defender, Southgate's natural tendency is to not lose a game rather than try to win it.
Our best crop of attacking midfielders are being wasted under his management.
It would be far from ideal, but a Caretaker Manager is probably the only hope we'd have of some sort of success.
Let's face facts, it couldn't be any worse than what we've seen over the last 5 games.
Relegation's quite appropriate for England now. A second tier league should befit a second-rate manager.
I don't care if he got the nation 'back in love' with England. He's an HR man in a pressurized Sales job. Totally out of his depth.
Call me old-fashioned, but I want the best manager to...
"Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning..."
Unfortunately this won't happen. Nor will it if they lose at home to Germany on Monday.
Another opportunity to win a major tournament wasted.
*sigh*
The World Cup starts in 58 days time.
And Southgate's still playing out-of-form players and players out of position. Does he even know his best XI now?
Based on tonight's fare, it's unlikely that the likes of France, Belgium and Brazil will feel the need for any extra training.
What makes NSC such a great site? It's made up of great individuals from every walk of life with the Albion in common.
When people like these leave, the site is always going to be the poorer for it.
Don't be a stranger, Stat.
