    More the fact that Mancini has the trophy sitting on a Scottish newspaper with him as William Wallace in Braveheart…

    100%. Southgate has a decent squad but its bewildering to see his starting 11 and also his stubbornness to make a sub. He is worse than WGS and NL put together lol in terms of making subs.

    Most on here probably won't agree but out of all these english * Southgate actually comes across quite well.

    I’ve gave him credit but hearing his latest presser claiming most of the racial abuse came from abroad is a joke

    Don't mind Southgate tbh,same as a majority of the players.

    Didn't mind the likes of Beckham/Lampard/Gerrard/Linekar etc....as players.

    Its the media and pundits and a majority of the inbred scum that supports them and causes chaos is what i hate.

    The problem as we all know is they think they have a divine right to win it and then excuse everyone else,no other Country on the planet does that,which makes it much sweeter when they crumble.

    The pics across Europe were in a majority of wanting Italy to win,its a homegrown issue that will never be resolved.

    Hearing Southgate he just gets on with it,answers well...but i don't think he's a good manager not an amazing manager,hes doing his best with a mediocre young squad,and fair * to him.

    Just can't get enough
    Germany Spain Belgium, france, Portugal, will all be looking at results at the world cup add the south/north Americans and Asian teams all pushing for glory, but wait a minute the mighty engurlund got to a final so are destined to win it, all these other nations will go backwards,
    the teams who didn't have a great tournament this year will be the ones to watch at the world cup, for me England has peaked it's down hill from here

    Genuinely feel sorry for the black guys who are getting all sorts of racist * while playing for their country. It's similar to what wee Jinky Johnstone (and the other Celtic players) back in the 60's and 70's when they had to put up with getting booed every time they ran on the park to play for Scotland. English fans have the same mindset as the huns

    They should just not play. When they take the field they are representing and playing for those racists.

    Totally agree. Maybe our players should do similar when they are playing at ipox or swinecastle when they are belting out their songs of hate. It might actually raise the profile of the racism/sectarianism problem which they have totally ignored for all these years

    The players take the knee but really it's a token gesture, racists will be racists.


    For many the BLM campaign has been nothing more than a fad, a bandwagon to jump on to make themselves look better.


    Sad to say it but i don't think we will ever be able to eradicate racism from society.

    Strange to think a World Cup in Qatar in November/December is the next major tournament. Some group games at 10am aswell, sitting out in a beer garden in the snow at 9.30 waiting for a game :56:.
