1st game i've put on, already muted C4 comm only to find other comm available is talkbollox! think i may just put absolute 70/80's on with betting app updates!
wonder if uefa banned themselves from being lumped into wolverhampton for their misbehaviour at the champions league final as punishment too ;-)
First England match at Molineux since 1956 and fans are excluded. A great night for Wolves ruined by the cretins that infest society
Would it have been played there irrespective or is it being played away from Wembley due to no fans being allowed?
This is arguably the most prolonged success we’ve ever had as a national team. Certainly the most for a significant number of us in our lifetime. Not sure Southgate can get Sterling to convert from two yards. I know we’ve got some amazing young players, but when we raved about our attacking talent it included Rashford and Sancho who have completely gone off the boil. Bowen and Abrahams have stepped up this season, but both are novices to International football. I don’t buy in to the Jack Grealish obsession either. We’re one of the best four teams in the world. Consistently. I’ll take that and hopefully more in Qatar.
Certainly seems to have played himself into being an impact sub only. Though I do think he’s playing severely hampered by Southgate’s constant caution and negativity. He’s twenty times the player Mason Mount is though. I’m sure he is either Southgate’s secret son or he has some dodgy photos or secrets on him. These last three games, and the woeful showings of fearful negativity in the final against Italy last year and the semi against Croatia before that, show why Southgate, whilst having done tremendously well, will not win anything. He’s frightened to death of having a go, of taking a risk to win a game. We will always fall just short. No goal from open play in how long?
can't really argue with the last few years, but i do wonder if the opponents we be beat were dog doo dar unfortunately the last few games have been uninspiring and look forward to not being able to watch this world cup even if i could fifa bag o *****
Too much pressure being put on these games for me. The preparation for a major tournament has never been so disjointed in terms of being able to organise friendlies, so that’s essentially all these are. He’s got maybe five places in the squad up for grabs and this run of four games will help him decide who ‘gets on the plane’. A draw in Germany isn’t a bad result, and Italy second half have just crammed men behind the ball which is always difficult to counter against. Still some positive moves at times, and think Mount, Grealish and Sterling should have scored. I think we were top scorers in qualifying weren’t we? Southgate might not ever win anything. But he’s the only manager in my lifetime that has given us a chance.
This is tedious. Phillips is more negative than Butch Wilkins. Why do defenders pass to a midfielder who immediately passes it straight back to him. Might get a 0-0 here but its boring the tits off me.
