Nothing bizarre about it. They have been very very poor. As for the best football at the Euro’s and the best by an Italian team in years ….? No, definitely not.
how have we improved? Results in the nations league would say otherwise.
We lost to Italy not because they were any good but because Southgate got it wrong. I had calls the following weskin where the italian ripped the piss out me over the result. The Italian media basically said that in the...
No I wasn’t. Is it wrong of me for not taking anything that someone with the surname matterface says seriously?
France a bit like the Dutch are a Uber confidence team. You hit them early, do it give them the time, break up their play and they then get very bent out of shape. They want teams to...
The last three tournaments have been very very weak, but imho England have never been better placed to win. Southgate got it wrong against Croatia and Italy. He’s too conservative in his approach and teams aren’t scared of us, we should have gone after France in the first half not wait until the...
So how long are you going to give him?
Where’s the improvement that you would want to see year on year? It’s the same tactical approach every tournament and the same result.
we lost the Euro’s to a team that couldn’t qualify for the WC. Tell me why you beleive we’ll win the Euro’s in 2024...

How anyone can call him a scumbag is beyond me. A thoroughly decent person.
Three tournaments without bringing it home …. How many more chances do people he should have? if this was anyone else he’d already be gone.
sadly being decent human being isn’t going to win competitions.
he’s clearly a thoroughly decent chap and on a human level the best England manager that we’ve had for years but has two issues for me.
1. He said that he would only pick form players which he blatantly did not, which sends very mixed messages to every prospective England player.
2. He’s just...
What’s the count for the other major parties? Just so we can be fair an equitable about this.
Personally, if its a sackable offence in a normal job then it should be the same in parliament. Automatic deselection and then by-election.
No excuse for not taking this lot to the cleaners. We aren’t going to lose by 4 goals so time to take the leash off and get some momentum for knockout stages.
Really…. Iran where crap, surprisingly crap I may add. If they had played the way they did against Wales it may well have been a different story. if England were so good why were we so crap against the Colonials, who haven’t had a great run up to the tournamen?
Either we aren’t very good or we...
Southgate has made me fall out of love with the England team at the moment, which I find depressing. I’ve always enjoyed watching England in tournaments and always felt the pain of the inevitable failure. With the other exception of Hodgson I’ve always felt we had a chance.
Even after the early...
