    Yeah I know they have tight games. I just mean if teams come and attack us and get battered, the media would probably hammer them.

    For me it's been the usual dull qualification game. No blame on England or Tuchel for that though, just the nature of the games we have against the teams we have to play. I think we've moved the ball quicker than in the past though.

    I think his long term replacement is sat on the bench. Livramento has very similar attributes to Walker.

    Think we need some better opposition before the workd cup if the highest we're having is Senegal.

    If Southgate was in charge, can you imagine the responses from that win.
    I liked Southgate ,so maybe I'm biased

    I thought that was a great performance and Kane scored from open play.

    I thought Albania defended well off the ball were well disciplined and didn’t want to get tanked and start campaign with a hammering, we had to break them down and we did twice, Southgate would have probably got a similar result but that is completely irrelevant he had a good crack and it was time for a change. We’ve missed good opportunity to capitalise on a weak era of international opposition - Germany Italy Brazil etc wont be **** forever

    Doesn't matter what level your opposition are. You still have to go out and win.

    Yeagh bless it was a good result Southgate would have won that, but the responses would have been same as watching BFC under Collins .
    Same toxic responses **** to watch.
    I always said be careful what you wish for.
    I still endorse this.

    This was right up there with one of the most boring internationals I’ve ever been subjected to

    On the other side of the coin, we got the rub of the green against Spain in the quarter final.

    Yeah its a poor group isn't it, with Serbia maybe giving us the biggest threat. Although the good or bad quality of the Groups, isn't our fault.
    I will say though that there will be a heck of a lot of critical questions asked, if we don't win this Group.

    I doubt there are any. They moved from Lancaster Gate in 2009, first to Soho Square before moving to Wembley Stadium.
