No it's more about consistently achieving results rather than one off games. Robins biggest achievement is the improvement in our position year on year not the Wolves game. Based on results he has been our most successful manager for decades and Southgate has been England's most successful manager since 1966.What endears a player or a manager to fans isn’t achieving what’s expected of you/the squad, it’s pulling off the unexpected. That’s why we cheered louder for the goals against Wolves than Maidstone. And why Robins is a better manager than Kompany.
Robson bottled it against GermanyDenmark were heavy underdogs for that game though. That’s the point. In the actual big game that followed he bottled it.
Rubbish!! We would have still smacked umIf they had their first choice team they’d have beaten us comfortably. We were missing one player

If that’s the metric we go on, then what England manager has ever been successful?What endears a player or a manager to fans isn’t achieving what’s expected of you/the squad, it’s pulling off the unexpected.

I personally don’t think Iceland were better than us in 2016. Nor Romania in 2000, or Portugal in 2004.But if we’d pulled the same teams as managers since 1966 he wouldn’t be. It a just luck of the draw which round we get someone better than us.
Boosh is like an annoying gnat isn't he.Best way. Admins take too long to block boosh accounts
I can’t see how anyone could argue our team between 2018-2024 is better than the ‘Golden Generation’.But if we’d pulled the same teams as managers since 1966 he wouldn’t be. It a just luck of the draw which round we get someone better than us.
I’m not a Aouthgate hater, I’m just saying why people don’t love him. We’ve got probably the best squad for 30 years so people will be worried about wasting it. Also he’s just not a very likable character.
We’re Italy and France not better teams than us in respective tournaments?You have to take into account the quality of the opposition
Oh stop it, you’re talking nonsense. They were team of the tournament, beating Belgium and Spain to get to the final.Italy were rubbish, we should’ve beat them comfortably at home.
France are the same as us quality wise
Southgate was poor at Middlesborough, and got the England job by default because Big Sam was indiscreet and they needed a stop-gap. In both of his 'successful' tournaments we got very favourable runs to the the latter stages, and I can't recall a game that we won where we'd have traditionally expected to lose apart from Germany, and they were widely accepted as being a very poor German team in comparison to the past. I think he's done ok, but nothing more than that, and I fully believe that any manager out of the 92 league teams could have achieved similar results. Some managers are motivational, some have charm, some have tactical nous, some have stature and respect, and Southgate has a waistcoat and a Pizza Hut advert.
Yes. And people say how great Venables was in 96 but he had Gascoigne, Shearer, Sherringham and a much stronger defence and goalkeeeper than Southgate has ever had.I can’t see how anyone could argue our team between 2018-2024 is better than the ‘Golden Generation’.
Neville, Terry, Ferdinand, Campbell, Cole, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Owen, Rooney, Beckham and of course, Heskey!
Our current team is mostly younger players yet to hit their primes. With the exception of Kane, our defenders and GK. We have plenty of upcoming talent coming through but we’re not there yet.
Our defence was much stronger back then and it’s not even close.
Yes. And people say how great Venables was in 96 but he had Gascoigne, Shearer, Sherringham and a much stronger defence and goalkeeeper than Southgate has ever had.
We have the potential to be very strong over the next few years as players like Bellinghsm and Foden reach their prime but how long has Kane got left at that level. It's not true that Southall has had better players than other managers who achieved far less.
Most England managers in my lifetime have been dreadful and unsuccessful in major tournaments. Objectively Southall has the best record.
Neville Southall's now England manager?
People just don't like the bloke. I'd respect someone saying that, can't be arsed with the qualification of every fucken thing he's done. Dull as sh*t. His record stands up to scrutiny vs. any England manager in my lifetime.
btw, if we're qualifying stuff that Managers do, Robins...
- didn't get the team to the Checkatrade final and took us down to L2.
- was lucky vs. Notts County and sneaked the playoffs last minute.
- only settled on the box formation because the wingers got injured.
- only won L1 title thanks to Covid and it'll always has an asterix.
- got lucky with Vik and Hamer and rode them to Wembley.
- fluked a turnaround this season by stumbling on 433 by accident.
Turns out, this 'twist stuff till it suits how I feel' thing is pretty easy. Y'all just wish you could pull off a waistcoat, basically.
...hardly worthy of worship.
OiAnd I bet he has sex with his socks on and only does missionary
That’s how Mrs BSB likes them. Especially now I’ve lost 10 inches off my waist so it looks like I have an elephant schlong in thereCrotchless chinos in your case id imagine.
Good spotI know it's minor but I've noticed it's very quickly become "Man Utd v Coventry City" when it should be the other way round.
