Thats enough England

Only £25 a ticket and it’s not that difficult a journey for me but I’d be feeling well ripped off at the moment.
 
It’s like going to watch your favourite band and then find in a 90 minute set they do just 3 songs.

The rest of the time they wander round the stage checking amps, tuning guitars, twiddling drumsticks, adjusting hair, sipping water, towelling down.

It’s meant to be entertaining Gareth.

I’m in Gent so didn’t see it but you’re absolutely right. What did he learn from tonight? Absolutely nothing. Play a scratch side and tell them to go out and play. The reward may be a seat on the plane to Germany next summer.
 
That epitomises Southgate 💯 ,
Total Dross, that's why England will never win anything under this compulsive looser been a looser all his playing career, dosent know how to win no winning mentally or understanding of succsess.
A fine FA Puppet he's become and we will surely be rewarded with another pile of Dross when his replacement is concocted!!!!
But as long as people keep filling Wembley the FA will continue serving up this Shit.

That wasn't a real Wembley crowd last night.
They would have took some proper stick for going sideways and backwards at walking pace for large parts of the game, especially given the nature of the opposition.
The crowd was generally quiet. I can only think it was filled with freebies, kids and people who ain't bothered about football.
Probably one of the most inept and lethargic performances I have seen from an England team in recent years.
They have got some really good players but Southgate should have gone after the WC.
The Euros and Qatar were his big moments and it was time for someone else to input a new strategy. England have got some really talented footballers but it needs someone else at the helm rather than ' Gareth handbrake on Southgate '

It's always been the same with the FA, Weller. Remember mid 1970s when Ramsey finally retired. The whole world knew that Clough was the best manager who could revive the England team but the FA wouldn't risk hiring a loose cannon so we ended up with a series of "safe pairs of hands" who were faacking useless but the FA knew they wouldn't rock the boat.
And we achieved the sum total of faack all. Southgate is no different.
 
Walter Winterbottom was the first ever England “Manager” 1946-1962. He is still the longest serving England manager. He was only given responsibilities for coaching and match management. The team was still picked by a “selection committee” appointed by the FA.
In the years before his retirement in 1962 Winterbottom had finally convinced the FA that the next England manager should have “sole responsibility for team selection”. The next manager was Alf Ramsey who could enjoy the advantages of Winterbottom’s important legacy.
Winterbottom can take some credit for the 1966 World Cup success!

It was full of kids but at only £12.50 a ticket why wouldn't parents take the chance to have a trip to Wembley and give your kids the experience? Like it or not, these are the future football fans, and what the clubs want. Many of them clearly spent a fortune on merchandise and refreshments, not just lager, and there was probably no trouble, although the dad who was with his kids who got stopped by the drug sniffer dog and a small mob of security probably had a bit of explaining to do.

Yeah and then the football team produce a comatose performance that could put many of them off for life
My first experience of a live game was Leicester v Liverpool in 75. I was in awe of it all, I doubt too many kids walked away with that feeling last night.
It was garbage.

It was awful, the kids entertained themselves by making paper aeroplanes and doing a half-hearted Mexican wave. The biggest cheers were for any planes getting as far as the pitch.

However, I guess the players aren't going to bust a gut as they're already qualified and the opposition are poor standard. It was pretty much a training session at 75% effort.
 
My first experience of seeing England live was a school coach trip in about 1958 to see England Schoolboys v West Germany Schoolboys at Wembley.
For some reason my mate Willie Osborne persuaded me at half time to help him pick up a load of bottle tops scattered all over the terraces - fans were allowed to bring drinks (beer and fizzy pop) onto the standing terraces in glass bottles and swig from them whilst watching the match in those days.
Our games teacher saw what we were doing and bawled us out - "I haven't organised this trip so that you 2 can crawl around picking up bottletops!"
So he confiscated the paper bags we had put the bottletops in and cuffed us round the earholes and told us to watch the ***** game.
I thought that was the end of it. But oh no! In the following Monday morning assembly the Headmaster told Willie Osborne and me to stand up and then told the whole faacking school what we had done!
That was embarrassing enough but at school playtime we were in the school playground and up comes the games teacher with our 2 bags of bottletops and scatters them all over the bollocking playground and told us if it was so much more fun than watching England Schoolboys we could spend the rest of the morning picking up all the bottletops again!
The whole playground of kids ripped the piss out of us mercilessly.
I never went on another school trip again!

Faacking delinquent, should have got the whack as well..........😁
 
If a teacher today beat a 10 year old child with a bamboo cane he (its always he) would end up in court and probably in jail.
How times change!
