I bet the new people you worked with didn't like you coming back either. 🤪

It's astonishing that we play such dull football at times with such a rich vein of attacking talent within the squad. On occasions we have torn teams apart with our forward play, but most of the time we have been very ponderous. And I am one of those who has been supportive of Southgate playing...

I know nothing about Uni pensions. Tell me more. 🤔

I am well up for the campervan thing too. Both my missus and I would love to drive around the whole of the UK and further afield. It must be a sign of getting old, because I have never been interested at all in cruises, but suddenly, I now find the thought quite appealing. 😂 The missus has...

Thank you for the kind words. Hope your retirement days to come are very happy ones

I "retired" years ago. I was lucky in many aspects, because I worked for British Coal and when we were all made redundant, as part of the package, we were entitled to pick up our full works pension at 50. After 3 redundancies, following and then struggling to find any work, I decided to quit...

Definitely confirms the Italians were rattled. That's how I remembered it too. We really looked like we could cut through them with ease that first 15-20 mins or so.

They were there for the taking in that first half. I think that's undeniable. Southgate definitely cocked up that day. We were looking really good going forwards and forsook all that to try and sit on a 1 nil lead. I'm sure, to give him the benefit of doubt, that Southgate felt we could hit...

Yup. We pretty much always qualify easily don't we. Then when we get to play major teams in competitions, we usually fail. With the players we have, we should be getting more quality performance from them I know last night we were always going to win (we certainly wouldn't if we had played...

Not taking about results. Talking about performances.

Was that at 5% intensity too?

We have underperformed constantly. I am not buying this barely trying notion at all. They were clearly trying. We were just disjointed, there were players playing who were out of form and shouldn't have been selected and we played both Gallagher and Henderson together in midfield, which...

How Gallagher gets picked amazes me. Hope we don't get into Mason Mount territory with him. Well short of the quality needed in my opinion. I thought Guehl did okay, but I don't like Maguire or Trippier much at all for England lately. Both are so sloppy at giving the ball away. Trent...

I thought he started well for the first 10 mins or so and then looked completely lost. Foden totally outshone him and everyone else.

So, Phil Foden was playing at 5% intensity? Gallagher? (no matter how bad he was, he was flying in and throwing himself about, just as he usually does) And when has any team ever played at only 5% intensity? Malta are ranked 171st in the world. If you think it's okay to not have a single shot...

You have to ask yourselves though, just how many times have England underperformed lately? It's been more often than not And, with the players we have got, I think other managers could do a much better job. My patience is growing thin with him, because we consistently underperform. The Italy...

He is a lot more positive, is Walker and much more likely to take the ball forwards. And to be fair, it does kind of make sense, because Tomori was booked and seemed to take a bad knock too So that one makes sense I feel. Saka will always think positively. I don't mind the subs.

I really don't think Gallagher is anywhere near international level. Henderson and Gallagher are too similar anyway. Maguire has been a good servant for us over the years, but his game these days seems to be error-riddled. One bright spark has been Phil Foden.
