England v Scotland (1 Viewer)

Otis · Oct 13, 2016

Right, the English face the Scots next month in the world cup qualifying and of course I am always totally rooting for an England victory every time they meet.

However, word is, if England win this game, Southgate gets the job permanently.

Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Can I really bring myself to hope England lose the match?

I desperately want England to win, but don't want Southgate to get the job.

Guessing my only hope is a draw and a very dull one at that.

Beginning to think England's problems are similar to Cov's.....

We'll never improve whilst Sisu are here/England will never improve whilst the Clicky, Masonic old fart brigade at the F.A. pull the strings....

As an Englishman living in Scotland only one result will suffice

If English players had the balls to go and play abroad then maybe they'd learn a thing or two.

Must be why Joe Hart was the best player the other night.....

Being half Scottish but born in England I still root for England but it makes for many a family argument. I cannot see England losing but a draw a very real result. It's Scotland's cup final and despite the recent results they will be up,for it. I am going 1-1.

As for Southgate, not convinced either. He is a yes man so fits the mould of the FA I guess.

3-0 England.

Hopefully Southgate will do something risky and play Rashford from the beginning.

Or go true to form and bring him on at 0-0 with 8 mins left.

My hope is that England win and the day after the telegraph reveal Southgate has been caught in a sting ordering pizza from Domino's instead of pizza Hut.

And obtaining his toppings through a third party.

I don't see the need any more. There are as many foreign players here as abroad. In a sense as regards English football, we are already abroad.

This crossed my mind last week regarding the 4 games. Love games against Scotland though and it's the chance to stuff them. They're in crisis and there for the taking.

They are. Just think that has to be someone better than Southgate, who I just find a little tepid and uninspiring.

A little? If I was playing in that side I'd be more inspired by counting the tiles on the wall than listening to Southgate.

Think I'd rather play for Gareth Southgate than Big Sam. Maybe he'll turn out to be a good manager for us?

I hope he does. Would be chuffed to see us smash Scotland and Spain next month. I'm willing to give him a chance despite my doubts. Hope others do the same.

It's not always about the balls, most of them are so greedy and live in such a bubble, living in another climate and learning another language whilst being paid less would be dreadful for them.

Nah sorry I've already made my mind up

Gazolba · Oct 14, 2016

If we can't beat Scotland, we are a sorry lot. If we don't win, the entire squad should have to wear kilts for a week.

A draw or a loss against that lot is as embarrassing as the same result against the likes of Malta imo.

Apparently loads of Jocks in the home end this Friday. Should be like the old days.

Scrappy 1-0 win for England I think

Okay, Mr. Pedantic! Lots of Jocks in the Scottish end.

And we are in great shape.

Well Southgate hasn't called up players like Cresswell, Antonio, Defoe, Austin and Redmond so we must have a brilliant squad.

That's very stereotypical, not all Scots are mean

Cresswell's replaced Drinkwater now. I'd rather have any two of the other options than have Sturridge and Vardy.

Scottish fan at work predicting Oliver Burke is going to rip us apart, and also claiming he is as good as Bale

Monners · Nov 8, 2016

Had a fiver on Scotland to win 2-1. Just a bit of fun.

Otis · Nov 9, 2016

Scotland beating England 2-1 is never, ever any fun.

Walking back down Wembley way with them celebrating like they've won the World Cup.
