They used to talk about the golden generation Beckham, Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard, Owen, Rooney, Terry, Rio, and the others but they where a squandered generation either by injuries or poor management appointments and decisions.

When you look at the talent Southgate has at his disposal it’s arguably better in terms of depth and technical skill. The other thing that seems to work is that he takes players from lots of different clubs so the scourge of the clique may not get in the way.

Also like Germany, Spain and France we now have a structure to develop players to be comfortable at international level.

Will we ever win anything? I think we’ve still got a fair way to go but who knows?

They make cliques anyway. Look at Greenwood and Foden.

We played Ireland without Kayne, Rashford and sterling.  Southgate is giving backup players experience in these games so if needed they will have some experience to call upon. The only games that count are the world cup and European cup games. That's when he will unleash our best lineup.

They play for different clubs, so it’s not like all the Man U and Liverpool players isolating themselves from the rest, Jamie Redknapp talks about it in his book.

Although I will watch tonight, there will be little to be learnt from the match as I doubt either side will field their strongest side. It will certainly lack the intensity of a meaningful qualifier or a European/World Cup game.

Not without Scoles, there is no one in the current squad in his class

How many in this squad would get into that team? Maybe Kane and Sterling. It's nowhere near as strong. The core of that team was incredible, but they never produced in the big games.

Quoted from Cambridgefish


The news that all these diseases SARS, MERS, Bird Flu, Swine flu etc etc all occur because of the way we treat all creatures on the planet as if they were put here for us to use, abuse or eat? Or the fact that EU countries have 17 million mink to skin and make scarves from?

I'm starting to think we deserve it and nature  is getting her own back.

That’s a fair call.
