Sterling given time to think and cocks it up.

We saw it Glen.

What's Southgate hoping to do, win the Euro's by boring every opponent to death?

Tried it in the World Cup. We scored one goal from open play all tournament last Summer. The thing is I think we have more higher quality attacking/passing midfielders than last Summer with the likes of Madison and possibly Foden by next Summer so we should be trying to be more expansive.

Like Sancho.

No, he would say “massiv”. ;-)

I can still, fifty years on, give you the names of nearly all members of that team off the top of my head. I wouldn't be able to do that for any England team, except the '66 team, and even there I'm struggling beyond eight names or so (for some reason I can never remember the full backs, which is odd when you consider that it is what Ramsey was known for). Distance lends enchantment, of course, but I distinctly remember watching that game in an awe that I've never felt since. It gave me a glimpse of the beautiful game, in the fullest, most pristine sense of the word. It's been the standard, since, to which all football should measure up to, since I did see it, I didn't hallucinate it, so it is possible for eleven men to do that with a round ball on grass.
One other thing. Pelé scored more than a thousand goals. Think about that for a second — a thousand! Now I'm well aware that the last stage of his career was at the Cosmos, playing in a joke league in the States, but for the vast majority of his career Brazilian club football was far from a joke. This was in the days before Brazilians could easily play in Europe. Oh, and he won three World Cups. For me, there is no debate. Cruyff, Maradona, Messi: all very, very great players. But there is only one god of football, who looks down smilingly on them — Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

George Cohen and Ray Wilson

Don’t forget Mount, as well, which I also personally rate highly.

And Doyle really shouldn’t be that far away, either.

Oops, I mean the Stockport KDB.

Hoddle has got a massive hard on for Rashford, creaming his pants on how he's single handedly changed the game

It's the painfully slow build up from the back it is dreadful.

Crimson saying that Southgate would like to experiment up front but brought Rashford on because the game isn’t yet won.

We’re playing Kosovo in a qualifying match for a tournament that we’re already in. Surely this is the perfect time to try something different.

As soon as Rashford came on Clive unscrewed the cap of the KY jelly to share it with Glen.
