That’s a proper shit draw for us, I’m sure palace fans feel the same way to tbf. Shit seeing those non league or league 2 teams get pulled out and we’ve gotta go back to fucking Palace.

Make a change Gareth you fucking Donkey. Christ it’s like Ralph is in charge of this England team

I surprised Kevin Miller didn’t get the nod ahead of him 😂

Was he? I was always of the impression that Jones was a solid, if unspectacular, Premier League keeper.

Harsh on Jonah IMHO

I’m sure it wasn’t intentional but bloody hell of all the photos to use. Pure Partridge right there!!

Ahhh yes, Simon Clifford, the brains behind the mighty Garforth Town, wonderkid Jason St Juste, and their futsal inspired march into the football league. How is that going these days?.

Saints have just posted this online, good little watch if you’ve got a spare 10 minutes. Good to see Antti looking well, he comes across really modest too. There’s a decent one with Beattie too.

It’s could be if enough teams went along with it. It would be no different to the attempted Super League breakaway plans except fans would have gone along with it rather than opposed it. What exactly could FIFA have done if the majority of countries turned around and said they refuse to compete.

All the furore about this World Cup is a load of bollocks really. If the respective countries really gave a damn about the corrupt bid process, the laws of Qatar, dead migrants or the horrible fan environment they could have just boycotted the tournament and set up a breakaway international tournament not under the jurisdiction of Fifa. They would have soon backed down once the sponsors followed suit and their whole corrupt house of cards still would have come tumbling down. No amount of virtue signalling gay named planes or rainbow armbands is going to counter the hypocrisy of the competing teams even showing up in the country to play in the first place.

We should have held out for Potter 😂😂 Newcastle 3rd at Christmas then, and to think Howe wasn’t good enough to manage us according to some on here.

Hilarious. Makes the decision to leave Toney behind look even more foolish from Southgate

Never understood the fascination so many people have with Bielsa. Pretty average managerial record, got Leeds up at the second go after bottling the first attempt then nearly got them relegated in the second season because he didn’t know how to set a team up to defend, and spent all his time on the sidelines sat on a bucket looking like a miserable twat.

Slab head has been shocking for a while now, even in his England appearances of late.

No, because it’s pretty obvious that the sway the big 6 and sponsors have over the England team is behind some of his squad selections. Remember when he used to claim that he wouldn’t pick out of form players, maybe that was his original intention, until the powers that be had their say. Gareth for me is the future of what the FA want as a manager. No big personality, good in front of the cameras, can be influenced, and wouldn’t get near a top 6 Premier League management job for love nor money. Theres no way that Maguire. Phillips, Henderson or Gallagher get into that squad based on current form if they weren’t still at their respective clubs.

Potentially yes this World Cup could be the last we see of Gareth in charge in England. That being said the FA seem quite happy with a non confrontational yes man at the helm so I also wouldn’t be surprised if they offered him a new deal. I guess the decision might also factor in who is available to replace him and when.

We’ll be sticking these up in the home end soon for all the away fans sat amongst us.

Just watching the Southgate press conference, he states one of the reasons he picked Maddison is that he likes the fact he always looks up for a forward pass, and not enough players do it in the modern game. Could be a subliminal nod in the direction of JWP who has often been criticised on here for that.

Missing out on the Euro 2020 squad was harsher on JWP for me when he was a lot more involved in the squad in the run up. It’s probably not in his nature but if Southgate comes calling again for some pointless friendly I hope Prowsr tells him to shove it

Right decision on JWP, he’s offered next to nothing this season and Rice is clearly ahead of him. Wouldn’t he surprised if he’s known from the summer he wouldn’t be going hence apathy in his performances.

Talking of back up coaches I’d love to know what Kelvin, Dave Watson and the other scapegoats that got sacked in the summer make of all the recent goings on.

You’d hope we’ve got a compensation clause in there somewhere otherwise that’s going to cost us a fortune come April when he gets sacked.

Bloody hell I’d argue Cowley is a bigger name than Jones. THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE SOUTHAMPTON,THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE POOR, WE HAD POCH AND KOEMAN, NOW ITS FUCKING NATHAN JONES, NATHAN JONES

It is rather disgusting that the EFL have the power in this situation to blackout coverage of a Premier League club.

No bbc aren’t allowed to have it live due to the ifollow deal Sheff Wednesday have. You can listen on their website for £2.50 😂
