England v Malta

Well that was fun  NOT.At least i know how many flowers are on the wallpaper thats on the fire breast lol

I know we had already qualified, the ref was awful and no one wanted to get crocked, but...

There is no such thing as a dead rubber in international football. Not for me, anyway.

It's your country. You should want to go out there and bust a gut, every time. Representing your country in the sport you love should be an absolute privilege, but again I feel there are players out there who just coast.

I'm sure we'll improve when the Euros start, and we won't field a team like the ones we fielded over this weekend.

However, we hand England caps out like confetti. For some of those lads tonight, they have more chance playing for England than they do their clubs. How's that happened?!

When you think of players like Steve Bruce (0 caps), Matt Le Tissier (8 caps) and Andy Cole (1 goal), all at their absolute peak, and how little they played for England. Getting England caps back in the day was rock.

Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield is an experiment worth ditching now. What's the point of Kalvin Phillips? Can't get in Man City's starting XI, can't get in the England side, but keeps being involved. What's his contribution? If he's not playing in the PL and not in form, we've got to start looking elsewhere.

I know we want to blood some youngsters but some get super fast-tracked and I'm not sure that's the answer. Someone like Ward-Prowse has barely had a look-in despite being the best set-piece taker in the PL.

Not saying he's the answer but now more than ever it feels like whatever Southgate's grand plan is, it's becoming more and more frayed around the edges.

Well Malta / North Macedonia, whichever one it is - could have been better by England.
Gareth is trying to put square pegs in round holes.
Luckily he can afford to do that (no idea why)   - prior to final stages of the competition

The suspense is killing me..

I thought that the referee was absolutely appalling and I cannot remember the last time a referee was as bad as this one, even at Conference level. I don’t think he was bent but I do think he was very biased. Having said that, that is no excuse for how poor England were.

Quoted from Sir Matt Tease

Well that's 100 minutes of my life I'll never get back, what a steaming pile of sh1te ! I'm sick to death of this backwards sideways, backwards sideways crap. No creativity, slow, ponderous approach, bloody rubbish.
Southgate should be sacked ASAP and we should BEG Guardiola to take over before we waste another "golden generation"
Anybody who seriously believes that this rabble can win the euro's is deluded !
Total crap !

Unfortunately this is creeping into the game at all levels.  Take for instance, FGR at the weekend, every time they played it out from the back it looked like they were going to mess it up, and would have done if we had pressed a little higher up.
