  1. 'I hope I give you the fucking shits' is up there with any Arnie or Clint one-liner
  2. Robson was forced by his players at Italy '90 to change to a sweeper system after looking shite in the first couple of games. I'm not sure that Robson did a great job with England - and that side wasn't as talented as the current generation. Venables played one Euros - on home soil - and lost to a good, but not great, German side, having been very, very fortunate vs a mediocre Spain side in the QF (Spain would have scored but for poor refereeing). As others have pointed out though, Robson wasn't a colossal failure at club level, so had that in the bank.
  3. Honestly if Southgate has done such a good job, how many of the players England have has played at least as well as you’d expect - or even better (which would be impressive coaching?) I’ll go Pickford. That’s about it.
  4. Mainly because he’s not the one responsible for producing the players. Relative to the rest of the international teams, this is the strongest I’ve ever seen England. If Southgate does go then the performances won’t get worse.
  5. To blame for both for me. Unintelligent defending
  6. Yep. It’s been the problem from day one - the assumption that previous tournament performances by entirely different players mean that this is outperforming the mean.
  7. Wouldn’t be too sure of that this time. The football was turgid, and it was clear that we rode our luck both in performance and the draw
  8. Giving stupid FKs away in injury time man. Fucks sake
  9. They need to stop hoofing it. It does work doing it
  10. Back to Pickford????? Fucking he’ll man
  11. Fucking head the ball anywhere else
  12. If that is off, then this extremely harsh
  13. Jesus wept is Walker capable of tracking a runner?
  14. Gordon gave a bad interview though, so Garif won’t put him on
  15. Amazing isn’t it? Nearly three decades on, no cunt wants them there, yet on they toot and bang
  16. Getting taken to pieces here. No reaction from the bench.
  17. ‘More of the same lads, just more sleepy’ ’no bother gaffer’
  18. Fucking hell wake up you soppy twats
  19. Walker following the ball not the man
  20. Somehow felt inevitable. Completely asleep
