Don't start me on them. The real 'gold' in there was Scholes, but all the focus was on Gerrard and Lampard. And Captain Moneybags.

Amen, brother

Where was Carrick in that equation? HE was the answer to the "Gerrard and Lampard" question: instead it should have been "Gerrard OR Lampard plus Carrick"

burn the witch

Apart from hoping against hope that Morocco can spring a huge surprise and win the world cup I have no interest really in seeing any of the other 3 sides lift the trophy maybe at a push of the others Croatia but I'm really disappointed at the sides left in and am finding it hard to rustle up much enthusiasm for the remaining ties.

It was down to playing 4-4-2 which was the problem.

Eriksen was an absolute bluffer. 

Unable to deal with players who questioned him (Mcmanaman, Southgate) and allowed the Man Utd players to rule the roost leading to a divided dressing room.

 

How Beckham ended up captain was more due to public popularity than leadership skills. 

 

Erikksen was happy to be paid millions for about 40 days work a year. Our useless FA and media fawning over him.

 

Southgate has done a markedly better job with lesser players whilst putting up with all sorts of shit from outside.  

Virtually all the criticism Southgate receives is myopic and without any context. Context being our performances in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016. That's the shit show he took over from.
