[hilts]

Been a struggle

Hired a hall out for my 1 and 4 year old bday party today - loads of family and friends etc , manic kids running around. all good fun. but regret boozing till 4am now.

Ouch that doesn't sound good.

I was in charge of stopping the music for pass the parcel - i couldn't even do that right. stopping when a kid already had a present, stopping inbetween handovers. kids in tears.

Haha nightmare fella, have a good kip tonight pal.

Why do we need 2 DM's not a go at you Cheadle, is it because Rice aint that good to do it by him self or the back 4 are crap.
Think Southgate lost the plot mentioning Kalvin ffs.

I agree, but I don’t think rice is a DM. Me personally I’d play rice, Bellingham and foden in the midfield, but i can’t see Southgate doing it, he’s lost the plot as you say.

If he’s going to play two, Wharton is the only one who can defend and maybe allow rice to go forward, like he does for Arsenal

yeh hitting the sack now.

F*ckin Twickenham tomorrow with a bunch of rugby loving pissheads.

 

[PabZabb]

Those who compare Rice to Rodri - blasphemy

 

[smeeagain]

Any England manager using the word experiment in the 2nd game of a tournament should sacked that night IMO

 

[M12Blue]

What strikes me is that there is a lack of unity within the team, and we know the collective spirit raises everyone’s game.
First thing a top manager creates, whether you like to style of play adopted or not.
Southgate isn’t the answer regardless of his achievements in the past, when England have been fortuitous.

Should have used VAR, you could have had a little sleep while they were still deciding which kid had possession of the parcel at the precise point the music stopped.

They were a long way from awful in ‘96. They didn’t lose a game. The Gascoigne goal was a late second in a 2-0 win, so hardly could be said to have rescued them.

And the hammering of a decent Holland side was probably one of the best England performances in the last 30 odd years.

I'm sorry, but that win over Holland is a bit overrated. Yes we did play well, but the Dutch were a very up and down team. They also knew that a 3 goal defeat would see them through to the next round, so weren't all that motivated. It was no surprise that once they went 4 down they upped their game and got the goal they needed.
