Bizarre So a big club doesn’t come & steal him away! Citing the free flowing attacking football that we’ve become accustomed to. I just console myself knowing that Arsenal & Italy both achieved success with teams that generally won 1-0. I think I’d take that at my age. Sacrifice entertainment for a final or even a tournament victory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't affect my celebrations in any shape or form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF TAZ Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The idea of a German squad carefully planning out how to simply nullify the threat of Sterling, frustrate and nullify an out of form Harry Kane, and make sure they simply take their own chances well, is pretty depressing isn’t it. All while southgates biggest worry is that the players are happy and protected. I really feel like the key to unlock Germany is playing rashford up front as well but I know we won’t. ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It's such an FA thing to do to guarantee a contract extension of a a manager who has done f*ck all to deserve it Meanwhile in Italia 90 Robson was told he was losing the England gig no matter what happened... So, theoretically a world cup finalist/winner was going to be sacked just because... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Why would the powers in the FA extend a contract to Southgate beyond the 2022 World Cup when absolutely no one would try and poach Southgate? Well, maybe Barnsley or Notts County. See how he does in the Euros, then have a think about it. It's not rocket science. Looking at some of the recent clowns that have held the position of FA Chairman speaks volumes. As an example, Greg Dyke, FFS, a loony left ex BBC chairman.

MF TAZ Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Imagine the fan backlash on Southgate if we put in an average performance AND lose, and they’re giving him a contract no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly Sir Bobby handled it with dignity and moved on while we were useless for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with hiring a foreign mercenary who rocks up for the pay We dump Southgate, and Gerrard or Lampard would be in position before you could say 'Golden Generation '. Rinse and Repeat.

Adem Poric Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Has anyone read an article or seen an interview about the game that hasn't mentioned losing on penalties, preparing for penalties, etc? Hardly any of these players were born when those games happened. Cant the media just talk about this game without having to mention the past in one interview?

FreshOwl Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Of course the media has suffocated the players with countless interviews and pointless discussions in the week building up to this I swear some players have been interviewed by 5/6 different people all talking about the same thing Do one pre match interview and let them train and concentrate ffs I guess some social media companies NEED their promotional material Edited June 28, 2021 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 After yesterday's goalfest, I'm expecting a turgid affair at Wembley. England to win 1-0. Seems to be the norm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
