FA confirm Southgate will stay on until after Euro 2024 (p 101)

[Phil1]

Thought we made a good show of ourselves yesterday.

No shame at all in being knocked out by France.

That ref was league 2 level at best.

Even if Southgate does bow out now, he’s done us proud, as have Harry and the lads.

(Apart from the scousers and rags. You let our country down you cunts.)

What part was a good show? The slow backwards passing between the back four? The two defensive midfielders receiving the ball then passing it back to the CBs? Fuck me, England will forever be nearly nearly men whilst people accept shit like that.

England looked better when Foden came inside more and got on the ball. He needs to play more of a number ten as at times for the national team he seems starved of the ball on the left hand side.

The media ask questions about Foden playing for England in that role earlier in the competition and Southgate snapped at them, saying he doesn’t play in that role.

Pep says he can play 5 positions

Southgate knows better

 

[Pedestrian]

Because it’s international sport. Their best against our best and that should include the coach. I just cannot envisage Italy, France, Germany, Spain or Portugal as well as a host of other European countries, having a ‘foreign’ manager and neither should we.

Nonsense.

 

[Pedestrian]

I’m not asking you to agree but I don’t see it as an outrageous suggestion to insist on an English manager for the English team.

Why not go the next step and let the players pick whichever country they like? We’re half way there with the grandparents nonsense anyway.

Ok

Add a poll mate.

not sure how!

He got Middlesbrough relegated. He's a low level office boy who the management team have promoted to supervisor because they think he's 'on message' and always dresses smart and never says anything negative. He's not very good at the job but the management team like what he represents and shows the buisness in a good light.

An incompetent cheerleaded by incompetents.

Pep will be En ger land manager in two years

Y ears?
That's a shame.
I wanted him to stay at City for the rest of his career!

It is outrageous to ‘insist’ on the England manager being English. It’s small time little England bollocks. If there’s a great English manager available then great, go for it. If there isn’t then look further afield. Second paragraph is nonsense

Bluehammer wants him to be the next west ham manager but I think Barca madrid city bayern will be calling .

Ah, I sense a Clarkie...

Absolutely nailed it Looby and precisely why Clough, the best English manager by a country mile at that time, was repeatedly overlooked by the blazers at Lancaster Gate
