Gareth Southgate appointed England U21 coach

[Spun Cuppa]

Just don't let him coach taking penalties

Good Luck to the fella

Difficult job with limited resources

 

[Husty]

The future of english football is bleak.

 

[Wellesley]

FLAIR!!! Watch out Spain!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

He'll deffo have the patter about losing down to a tee

I can remember on MotD each Saturday evening a few seasons ago, when he was trying to talk up another Middlesbrough loss, and keeping a very positive demeanour as it all slipped away

 

[melias shoes]

That's it FA onwards and upwards.

 

[Stat Brother]

That's lucky, I thought after Stuart Pearce the FA would go for another joke appointment.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Those ties aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!

 

[Wellesley]

:

Those ties aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!

His ties to Crystal Palace Still, if anyone can drag our national team into the 1970's, I think he can.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Well that's us googled for another couple of generations.

 

[Albumen]

The FA must have misinterpreted Pearce's toothless displays.

 

[Mowgli37]

Christ even Dennis Wise would have been a better choice!

 

[Stat Brother]

At least with Roy & Southgate at the helm, we'll flair our way round Rio.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

What an inspirational appointment. Bet the U21's can't wait to play under Borat.

 

[BHseagull]

Awful appointment.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Ach he's one of the more generally level-headed and reasoned chaps around. He'll want to play football on the ground in general, so we could do worse.

 

[Mackenzie]

Another bloody dinosaur. The FA really don't get it do they!

 

[Pondicherry]

A brilliant coach with a proven track record of developing top talent and winning trophies.

 

[Ernest]

Needed a different type of manager but it won't matter soon as there will be no decent English players to pick

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

The most predictable and uninspiring appointment possible.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Another nodding dog yes man,
