John Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 If Maguire, Phillips and Henderson can get in Terry Butcher, Bryan Robson and Trevor Brooking must be still in with a chance of a call-up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think I actually hate him. I don’t hate many people in football. Even Robbie Savage is a whopper but I can see how he might objectively be ok to some people. Southgate just makes my skin crawl in every possible way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheAuthority Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I'm disappointed Ollie is in. Much rather he stayed with Unai and worked with AVFC. Southgate is probably going to tell him he needs to move to a big club and then give him 2 mins from the bench. Gareth is a perennial loser. Moved from Villa to Boro to "win more" and won exactly the same. Missed the penalty that knocked England out of Euro '96. Was a disaster as a club manager for one club. Missed the open goal of the Euro final at Wembley against a subpar Italian team and somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with his shit tactics. He's a loser.

avfc1982am Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Being born after 1966(well after lol), I've always hoped to see England win a major trophy in my lifetime. Something I'd always wanted to experience, seeing the whole Country go frigging mental and party away celebrating being champions of Europe or the WC. Here is the thing though, no matter how many shit managers we've had, and we've had a few, I have still always wanted to see us win and experience that moment in time. Not under Southgate though, he's the only individual to manage England that has made me think god forbid it happens whilst he's in charge. Probably the most dislikeable character to ever take the job in my opinion, which is weird because he supposedly comes across as a nice guy. Instead I see a narcissist, a liar and a completely patronising human being. He's the kid that commits the crime and blames others, the snitch, the individual you can never trust. I cannot think of anything worse than him winning a trophy with England and becoming some sort of English footballing messiah for the masses. He's an utter w******! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if my lack of interest in England is just a natural aging thing or solely based on Southgate. The timing of my ennui has coincided directly with his appointment so I'm hoping it's the latter and I find myself interested in how England get on one he's gone,l.

MrBlack Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Keyblade said: In 2017: The thing is, he's contradicted himself over and over again. Since then I'm sure he'll have extolled the virtues of picking on more than just form, and brought in the angle of experience, and the level played at and any other reason to justify his selection. He'll say whatever he wants, but the real reason, whatever it is, never comes out. These constant contradictions just make me hate him. He's effectively a pathological liar and I don't trust a thing he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 Recency bias. He’s talking about the last fortnight isn’t he? How about this calendar year? Or is that too recent as well? In terms of English players, only Kane has scored more top flight goals in 2023 than Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish, Mings and Watkins call ups or non call ups come with a smart remark. I cant remember him saying that about anybody else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 6 hours ago, villan95 said: Maguire, Phillips and Henderson in again Southgate will get away with it with Bellingham's emergency but if either him or Rice get injured before the euros the central midfield options are looking very very uninspiring and certainly not good enough to win a major tournament unless he's radical and tries Foden or Grealish more central.

VillaChris Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 6 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: Just looking at the squad - who are the left backs? It looks like he's picked six centre halves and two right backs. Kieran Trippier...... Southgate knows he's off in about 10 months so he's just picking the squads he wants to pick rather than experiment or bow to any media pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post choffer Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think I’m out of step with most of the comments here. I’m fully supportive of Southgate and his selection. Maguire, Phillips, Henderson. Perfect. I do wonder though if me being Scottish has anything to do with the fact I love Southgate being England manager 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
