Missed that, fucking LOL

mono-stereo

Cankles-McJeggings Skinner and Beddiel. Pair of fucking twats. Just fuck off you cunts.

Agreed. Jingoistic shite for wankers.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire since when have we had a competent manager? Same result each championship regardless of who’s in charge

Along_the_Wire

Hursty Hursty, news just in - England employ shit managers endlessly. Southgate couldn’t run a fucking League Two club, the two-bob cunt that he is.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire so back to my original question, does it matter?

Along_the_Wire

Hursty Yes, get a good manager.

Mad_Cyril

It’s coming home
No it’s not
Actually it might be
We were robbed
Sack the manager

Same every 2 years. It’s funny to watch.

Someone needs to get innovative though, cancel Geoff Hurst, maybe pull down statues of Alf Ramsey? That’ll teach em

Amps

Mad_Cyril Sack the manager

Fair point, but I reckon after six years of Gareth you know what you’re getting and it’s not very good. As a bunch of players they look like a decent lot, like they give a shit about each other, unlike some that have gone before, they deserve someone a bit more inspiring / dynamic. Gareth and his mid 90s three quarter zip up Sonneti top just aren’t cutting it.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire and what will that change?

LOL.

Yeah, Gareth SHITCUNT and his Firetrap gear.

Lads it could be worse, we can’t even make it to a play off for a tournament place, it’s bleak

A fair point. Englands best run in tournaments has been under Sharkbait.

Not good enough for the eternally opinionated experts

Heno

Was actually a good game, had France on the rack in the second half

Hursty fuck me Hursty, do you need it spoon feeding? Look at Liverpool and their managers and how long it took to win the league. Klopp may have been a factor. It’s just a fucking hunch.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire my point is we’ve had so-called decent managers in the past and the net result has been fuck all. That’s my point

hugopal

Along_the_Wire fuck me Hursty, do you need it spoon feeding? Look at Liverpool and their managers and how long it took to win the league. Klopp may have been a factor. It’s just a fucking hunch.

Signing class players like Salah and Van Dijk were just as important.

At international level you’re stuck with the same crap as any other manager.

And I can only see our squad getting worse over the next tournament or two.

Cankles-McJeggings

Let’s have a closer look at England

Who they beat -

Iran (Goat herders)
Wales (Sheep herders)
Senegal (3rd world nation)

Let’s look at who they didn’t beat.

USA (they played miserabley)
France (but they played well. Some consolation)

Did fuck all really didn’t they? Unless you count beating 3 shit nations and ‘playing well’ against France as doing something.

Shitgate out.

I’m with Hursty. Look at Capello and Eriksson, both came into the job with a solid record and did worse then Southgate in terms of getting to the business end of tournaments.

Changing the manager in order to somehow SET OUR CAGED LIONS FREE is magical thinking.

alistair

mono-stereo Southgate undoubtedly inspires loyalty in his players who trust and like him. He takes the pressure off them too. That goes a long way and is rarely credited. He changed the sometimes toxic culture around the national team

mono-stereo

alistair Agreed. Similar to the teams under Bobby Robson or El Tel in terms of togetherness.
