Kid Dynamite 6947 Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Do you reckon Gordon has had a fall out with Southgate? He spent most of the team talk stood on his own tonight. I just can't figure out why else he would get 5-10 minutes when we are chasing games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2594 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Perhaps he didn’t like Gordon’s “give me the ball” swagger on his debut… or that defence splitting pass. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMXXVIII 1293 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Same thing happens every time now. We disgrace me and fluke our way into the final stages and I go all Fat Les. Me and me mam and me dad and me gran are off to Waterloo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tdansmith 3163 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I'm happy it's Netherlands in the semi final and not Turkey. England v Turkey would have been hell on. If it's France v England in the final they should just go straight to penalties and save us all two hours of watching dross. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21735 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Southgate is the Cliff Thorburn of football. It isn’t pretty, but his record in big tournaments is decent. I can see us grinding our way to the final. Southgate is lucky, cautious, a tactical dinosaur and reluctant to make changes unless he’s forced to, or to drop his favourites - even when they’re not performing. However, he knows how to progress in tournament football. I can see us sneaking past Holland then losing to France on pens in the final after 120 minutes of sideways passing and goalless tedium Edited July 7 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34648 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Difficult to judge this one. Who can say whether the build up to the semi final will match the tedium of the game itself? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like our players to play and do well but thats about it. Whats the point of winning the games or even the tournament if 5 minutes of it is enjoyable? Nothing is at stake if we don't win it, the country isn't going to get relegated and go out of business, some other bigger country isn't going to come and take our players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
