I'm not sure why many people are expressing their disappointment after last night. We all of us anticipated it, we were prepared for it, and we knew what was going to happen within Southgate's first few games in charge - each game would be an exercise in dismal, uninspiring football that will inevitably take us nowhere and mean yet another managerial vacancy for the national team.
Personally, I was not at all disappointed by last night's fare; not even slightly. Nor will I be when England are knocked out in the early stages and are -once again- the object of piss-taking from every Jock, Paddy and Taffy.
We deserve it, we have earned the right to be labelled dull, dreary and colourless. The England shirts should have the words 'Bland, Humdrum, and as Boring as Fuck' on them - no chance of being sued under the trades descriptions act.
It would be nice if on the 4th July, when we all head to our local voting booths, we could also have the choice of voting in the next England manager, that way we'd be rid of this grey, insipid, humourless man in charge of this grey, insipid, humourless football team.
