Least we won but Fuk me that was so bad. I don’t know why I let England wind me up. Mr waistcoat is the luckiest man on earth. Onwards to Saturday now.

Rodri would also look shit playing for Southgate. Rodri is however a better player than Rice however wouldn't be anywhere near his City/Spain levels in the current Enhland team. He'd probably be picked on the left wing anyway.

Nice try...

No not really, we all knew they would be before it started but still just worth a reminder every day or so, you know, just in case

I'm always reminded of the scene in Mike Basset when all the home nations see each other at the airport pre tournament.

I do aswell when some don’t debate in good faith because they personally hate Bellingham and don’t want England to win.tagging me in whenever we’re losing. They only want to hear negativity and hatred - anything else then it’s ’you’re being a WUM’

Some make fair criticisms and debate well.

This forums issue with Bellingham is not about him personally, more professionally.
He appears to be a big headed prick on the pitch. That kind of player, with the media behind him, can become a very big problem for this and any future manager, player, or system.
He is being compared to some outstanding footballers, but the difference is they have actually performed at an exceptionally high level over many years.
Most people lauding him are doing so out of desperation to have a world superstar in the squad.
So far, his levels have been mediocre at best. Your superstar can't continue to be anonymous each game but get out of jail with the odd goal, no matter how crucial. Performances are more valuable than goals. High personal performances = goals scored by the team and therefore success as a team.
Bellingham seems to be about Bellingham.

On the other point, if you are being baited then fight back. That's fair. But do it when they actually perform, not when they stumble over the line like a piss head getting through the door at 3am.

Class scene that, absolutely brilliant

Imagine England playing Spain, they’d absolutely destroy us. When they attach they attack as a team, always players in space, when they press they also do it as a team. What’s Southgate been doing with our team for EIGHT years?

 

[Macca77macca]

I cannot stand Bellingham. I absolutely think he is the problem in the team.

Southgate is a ****

Never met him, seems alright
