bcfc01 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 It was crap. A few didn't take the opportunity. Ah well, bring on the first team for Italy. After watching England u21s I think its an opportunity for the FA to get in a manager to get the best out of them, we have a very good group of players ready for the step up in the next year or so. Southgate isn't the manager to do that imo. Get shot of Southgate and we could actually win something in the next few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is a contract between the FA and Wembley Stadium (which is owned by the FA) which currently states that all England Internationals will be played at Wembley. It covers the huge redevelopment costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Colwill drop Maguire!!! Southgate when he gives new players a chance - this is absolutely rubbish!!!!! We are crap!!! Southgate out!!!! Is this satire? Have you watched the last 50 years of underachievement? England are not bad (this evening's match excluded). Golden generation is a bullshit tag in any case. We have good players. We came very close to winning something. We will have a decent shot again next summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I am a Southgate apologist but he really isn't helping himself with his support and continued picking of Henderson.

It covers the huge redevelopment costs. Don’t think that’s the case. There have been quite a few recent home games not at Wembley….North Macedonia at Old Trafford just 4 months ago, two games at Molineux last year, plus other games in recent times at Southampton, Leicester, Leeds, Sunderland, two at Middlesbrough, and one at Manchester City.

Fortunately, watched the Bears on the iPad at the same time which relieved the boredom. Such a contrast to the free flowing, positive Under 21s game last night. Think we coach all the talent out of our seniors. Diabolical. I went to the game, it really was so soulless, Australia missed some great chances. It was like a Saturday afternoon down AG! Lack of chances, lots of endeavours and a corner of fans trying to get us going!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was £25. As for why people go…in many cases it’ll be for loyalty points towards the next Euros or World Cup (the more games you go to, the higher the likelihood of being guaranteed for tournaments, or for the more appealing away qualifiers). In other cases it’ll be to keep a run going. Or to catch up with friends from around the country who support other clubs, have a beer or two pre and post game, and discuss plans for Skopje next month and for Germany next summer (assuming we don’t mess up qualification, that is). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry just seen your post regarding caps totally true about catching up with mates , I’ll travel to Skopje with a lad I meet 34 years ago and still travel with and think of the people BEANIE made lifelong friendships with in his many many years of travelling with the national team unfortunately the football is normally the worst bit of the travelling just like city sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have City previously lost momentum at international break time? I like watching England play and hopefully win, but the world virtually has to stop turning for international matches. Yawn... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
