He played Mainoo (Man Utd) who was shit and refused to play Wharton (Palace) who is lightyears ahead of him. Same old story with England, the players from the 'big clubs' walk into the team ahead of far superior players who come from smaller clubs. Funnily enough it always ends in total failure.

They'll go for another yes man that doesn't rock the boat. All those in the F.A are not going to do anything to upset the cushy number they're on.

It's embarrassing really but I'm not exactly surprised at the people who are struggling with the concept.

But they didn't flatten anyone in this tournament. They won two games and played shit in every single match apart from half of the Netherlands game. Apart from being slightly resilient in defence England had absolutely nothing going on tactically and it showed in every single game. A premier league team with a division 3 manager.

Not good enough for England though 🙄

Can't afford him.

Duran Duran - Girls On Film

I had to swerve this thread for a bit. Between Southgate being the best English manager of all time and grown adults militantly refusing to understand basic life concepts like luck, it was getting really really ridiculous. Hopefully we'll get back to planet earth now. I said Southgate wasn't good enough and I was proven right.

I called out his total lack of ability before this tournament started and some people got very upset and defended him to the hilt. I said that England wouldn't win anything with him in charge. They got to a final after winning only two games and playing some absolutely woeful opposition. The final itself they weren't even close. As soon as Spain stepped up a gear England were nowhere near. None of this is for a lack of talent, England have some great players but with absolutely no game plan failure is all but assured.

Lost count of the amount of times Spain opened England up like a tin of beans with one or two passes. England have a player capable of doing that but for some reason the manager wouldn't play him even in the group games. As I said before the tournament started, England's biggest weakness was in the dugout.

What success is that exactly?

1st half was pretty even. 2nd half was men against boys.

Talk about Mickey Mouse.

The Beautiful South - Old Red Eyes Is Back

The fact we're underdogs in any of those games shows what venkys have done to this club. This is probably the only place where you'll find people who believe that Blackburn Rovers not only can but should be more than just some shit team plodding along in the second division. I for one will never accept anything less than mid table Premier League from venkys. That's what we were when they took over and they've never made a single attempt to get us back there. It isn't fucking good enough. If that makes me negative then so be it.

It's so bad that even the billy bullshitters haven't bothered.

Nah, this bastard right across the Blackburn End. Edit: Just had an absolute brainstorm and realised what a fucking brilliant protest would be. Get yer Rovers shirt and where that venkys logo should go get this screen printed in it's place.

Black Flag - Rise Above

Venkys reign summed up in one image. Disgusting.

Hmmmm Keep Wharton and go into administration or sell him for fuck all and plod on for another few months I know which option I would choose every single time.

Baath deal was another one that was pulled at the last minute by the owners. How many times that's happened we'll never know but it's not the first time we've heard of them doing that and it won't be the last.

But they aren't supporters ABBEY.

Those are very important questions and they need to be answered. Apparently he's all about opening lines of communication so shouldn't have a problem with it.

Welcome to BRFCS. If you sense a bit of a negative vibe it's because the owners of our club are deliberately dismantling it piece by piece in a process that's been happening for the last 14 years. Naturally we're all a bit pissed off about it. Other than that we're a friendly, jolly bunch. Filled out the survey as well. Easy.

Not sure that the coyle one was deliberate, I think they just gambled with appointing Coyle over Warnock as obviously Coyle was just a yes man with no ambition. I think they didn't realise just how shit he actually was and it backfired. Bear in mind they actually fired him and appointed Mowbray. The Premier League relegation was 100% deliberate. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
