I heard again on the wireless this morning that Southgate has more wins in knockout football in the last 48 years than the others combined. So I had a check. To keep things consistent I didnt include the Nations League. Not that it would make a difference as we've been wank in it. Southgate 2018 World Cup - 2 Wins - Knocked out by Croatia in the Semi's (32 Teams) 2020 Europeans - 3 Wins - Beaten in Final by Italians (24 Teams) 2022 World Cup - 1 Win - Knocked out by France in the Quarters (32 Teams) Total - 6 Wins in knockout games. Hodgson 2012 Europeans - Knocked out at first knockout (quarters) by Italy (16 Teams) 2014 World Cup - Failed at group stage (32 Teams) 2016 Europeans - Knocked out at first knockout by Iceland (24 Teams) Total - 0 Wins in knockout games (Others wins 0 v 6) Capello 2010 Europeans - Knocked out at first knockout by Iceland (24 Teams) Total - 0 Wins in knockout games (0 v 6) Sven 2002 World Cup - 1 Win - Knocked out by Brazil in the Quarters (32 Teams) 2004 Europeans - Knocked out at first knockout (quarters) by Portugal (16 Teams) 2006 World Cup - 1 Win - Knocked out by Portugal in the Quarters (32 Teams) Total - 2 wins in knockout games (2 v 6) Keegan 2000 Europeans - Failed in group (16 Teams) Total - 0 wins in knockout games (2 v 6) Hoddle 1998 World Cup - Knocked out at first knockout by Argies (32 Teams) Total - 0 Wins in knockout games (2 v 6) Venebles 1996 Europeans - 1 Win - Knocked out by Germany in the Semis (16 Teams) Total - 1 Wins in knockout Games (3 v 6) Taylor 1992 Europeans - Failed in group (8 Teams) Total - 2 Wins in knockout Games (4 v 6) Robson 1986 World Cup - 1 Win - Knocked out in Quarters by Cheating Argie Cunts (24 Teams) 1988 Europeans - Failed in group (8 teams) 1990 World Cup - 2 Wins - Knocked out in by Germany in the Semis (24 Teams) Total 3 Wins in knockout Games (6 v 6) Greenwood 1980 Europeans - Failed in group (8 teams) 1982 World Cup - Failed in group (24 Teams) Total 0 Wins in Knockout Games (6 v 6)

Apparently Brazil want Pep

Depends on his contract though. He did sign a new extended contract recently too.

Bruce it is then!

Come on Tuchel, throw that cap on the ring

Would Potter be a decent replacement for him?

Oooff bit cold them kinda jokes

Infact that's comparing apples and oranges the club thing so scrap it.

No Fish is bang on about the strength in depth in certain positions. But this is where friendlies and other non-critical games come in. He doesn't use them to try these players out. But I shall be honest. I cannot remember many previous managers doing the same. But playing the likes of Kane in lesser games when he could be trying out players. You're right about the unity and the Ben White situation and that's down to him as a person. The biggest thing for me, is his subs, especially timing of the subs. Take Euro's final. Putting two lads on, just for pens and then getting seconds to 'warm up' Just mad. Putting Grealish on with 30s to go on Saturday. Why? What's he going to do in that time? Let's say he does walk. What sort of club would he get in the Prem? You would think his stock has risen with all the unity and biggest wins and knockouts people talk about. Liverpool? Chelsea? Us? Would you swap Howe for him if Howe took he FA's card?

FYP Fucking tragic man

There's just something about him that doesn't excite me. Is it because of years of let down's I have emotionally checked out? It's all good beating the likes of Malta and Iran etc but when he comes up against the teams like France, Italy he hasn't done it. If he does walk I will fear Howe going for it. But surely the pull of doing something here would be enough? Who knows. If we gauge our success on a runners up medal and that's it, maybe that's our problem.

One thing to say on the tournament from an England perspective. Bellingham, superb.

We were robbed aye. The ref was well out of his depth and inconsistent as fuck.

How are the defining knock-out wins? I.e out of the group stages? If its that then I get him as 5 wins, the others combined have 8. Whilst looking at this it shows how shit we are at the Euro's. The biggest question is, if Southgate walked. Who would he be replaced by? The whole squad togetherness is great and we no longer seem to have a manager hunted by our press. He protects the players and certainly come across as a decent human being. When Southgate first got the job he said he wouldn't be picking players based on who they were and players would be picked on their club form. That lasted all of 5 minutes. If he kept his word Pickford and Maguire wouldn't have been near the first team. Maguire tbf in the group stages had an alright tournament. The shite I saw on social media about 'how he's proved doubters wrong' was laughable. For me with Southgate is he is technically inept with subs and reacting to on field changes. The French were absolutely shitting their pants at Saka. So what do we do? Take him off, I still haven't read anything about a possible injury. Henderson was pony against the French. He lost the ball countless times, played it back when we had players forward. Yet Southgate waits until the 78th fucking minute to make subs. It's knockout fucking football. Replace the mackem cunt and try and change it up. Get Wilson on for him and have Kane and Wilson up there. Or take him off for Philips. Not bastard Mason Mount who's fucking shite for England and has a shite season to boot. Kane looked fucked in previous games, but Southgate seems to have a shares on the dribbling cunt breaking the record. Same reason he plays him against part timers like Andorra instead of trying out new players. I just find him and his football boring as fuck. I mean some of the football under Rafa was dour, but that's because we didn't have the players. He has people like Grealish, Saka, Maddison, Foden etc. But most f the football I have watched this WC was Stones and Maguire passing it between them and people wanking over our possession stats. I don't know were we go from here like. I think that's the best chance we will ever have. I cannot see another tournament where Brazil, Spain, Portugal etc go out so early.

Wtf were the parents of them poor bairns in Birmingham 😔

According to the Beeb gossip page we're allowing Lascelles, Lewis, Ritchie and Fraser to leave this window. Lewis, Ritchie and Fraser I agree with but if Lascelles goes do we have enough cover at the back?

They've already said he's in charge until then. He fucked up the euro final with late subs and yesterday again late negative subs.

Southgate is our version of Martinez. A great pool of talent and will win fuck all because when things need changing he's clueless.

I wish it was 😂😂 it would have been better than the music. For some mad reason I'm not hanging out of my arse so that's a win!

Its ok because Kane has scored loads against a Andorra

Fat cunts with Christmas jumpers on. Fuck. Off

Fuck. Me. My cousin just got his Bouzouki out 🙄

So does your mamma

Would be absolutely mint that
