If we won this tournament how would everyone feel? I know this isn't the world cup but based on the record Southgate would probably be regarded as the greatest England manager of all time. 

I would be absolutely fucking delighted. 

 

I know we're not exactly lighting the tournament on fire, and there would be a big dollop of luck - but I'm English, I badly want us to win something regardless of how we manage it.

Honestly I did think that was better. Don't get me wrong, it should obviously be better, but I thought it was still miles better than every match up until this point.

 

The first half was better but the rest was passive shite. I'm struggling to get behind it, it's so fucking dull.

If he won it yes.

If we play two more games like we have done so far and we win, I’ll feel pretty hollow about it. If we play well in the next two and win I’ll be really happy. If we win the semi playing shut and then play a great final I’ll also be happy

I thought the first half showed glimpses of a team that might click. Then the second half happened and we got bailed out by individual quality. 

 

I'm in such a funk, like. England are probably gonna win something just as I've stopped giving a fuck. :lol:

 

Find being a football fan horribly complicated these days. I'll try and put it down to growing up. 

Read some FFP charts and VAR stats to calm you down.

 

football is absolutely shite these days, it takes a penalty shoot out win to give you a buzz 👍🏻

I’d take Bruce managing us for an FA cup final if we won it. It’s never about the manager, it’s about the fans.

I’d be happy to win it, and wouldn’t give a shite about Southgate’s reputation.  It’s hardly a stellar list in any case.

I mean both 

 

a) southgate is depressingly negative, incredibly over loyal to certain players and plays a style of football that is not good on the eye and has benefited from some luck

b) this has brought the best results of any england manager since alf ramsey and he deserves some modicum of respect for that, even if suspect a better manager may have made less drama of it

 

can be true

I'm unsure what Eze is bringing to the table that Gordon can't

 

Eze plays for palace, guess who played for palace?

Baffles me as he often has no end product.

Think England v Turkey would actually be an entertaining game.

Get enough bookings and Gordon may just get 5 mins

Only way it makes sense is if Gordon called Southgate a cowardly cunt.

I mean, might be that Turkey can't even field a team given their discipline

Lousy piece of defending for Trippier for their goal. Over the last few months, a not untypical error, I have to say.

Worse from Stones and Walker surely?
