Venables won two entire games at Euro 96, one was against Scotland. And then did not make one single substitution in 120 minutes vs Germany and allowed a situation where Ince and others bottled penalty taking so Southgate was forced to. Plenty of game management issues there as well. Great summer but Terry fucked up too. I am gutted that the whole fucking point of Tuchel, the whole point was he had the nous to win tournaments. Absolutely pathetic from him today.

Gareth Southgate was an English manager. Basically Tuchel copied the Southgate playbook. Utterly baffling and disastrous. And all of us could see it.

I think there's a world of difference between the England of 1992 and 1994 that Jimmy Hill was talking about and the England of the last decade that have been in two finals and four semi finals. There has been significant improvement across the piece. If your assessment is "if we don’t win it, it's fuck all" then we might as well fuck off back to the Graham Taylor/Keegan/Hodgson/McClaren eras. If everything just reduced to failure we might as well go out in the Group stage and fuck off home or maybe not qualify at all. If people are going to treat going out in finals and semis like that then why bother.

What a pile of steaming shit

I think you might be mentally ill.

The England assistant manager is always good value for money. One question, one answer, wonderfully succinct analysis.

Argentina are the current World Cup holders so let's just give up now.

Argentina have reached the same level of averageness as we have. I think our advantage might be our manager who is pretty good at winning tournaments.

It's not the "worst thing ever" but it is bringing the game into disrepute etc. Elbowing someone on the pitch is not "the worst thing ever". Fielding an ineligible player is not "the worst thing ever". It doen't need to be for the FA to dish out a sanction. He is going to be punished by the FA as an individual, just depends on the level of time / fine etc. It is nothing to do with Steve Gibson or Middlesbrough now. Just need to accept we got caught doing something stupid.

I believe I am right in saying this is the first player we have had on our books that shares a name with a character from Rentaghost.

One of the greatest kits we ever had, not going to argue with that. Absolutely sensational. (would have been better with white socks though)

100%. We wear white socks, literally that’s what makes it a Saints kit. Red and white hoops is ok as an alternative. Just silly to go with black.

When your entire defence is the Murdoch owned Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph is left wing media, then you’re in trouble.

Outstanding. Outstanding.
