You must be aware of apart from our friendly football banter l actually like the City of Southampton Julian and l do have a soft spot for Bobby Stokes given his glorious winning goal all those years ago.:):D

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Is just an opinion piece, been a few of those this summer, listed nothing to support it at all, cack like that should be banned from media. As I wrote above, it's not unreasonable to suggest he'd quit, I think he could, it's presenting that as fact that's the issue.

The best piece I've seen is one where Rafa is directly blamed along with the board.

He'd signed a lot of players at championship level on silly wages. Something that Newcastle fans seem to be avoiding talking about, but eventually they'll turn on him.

So he retired from international duty to go boozing.

Great role model.....

England are starting to look like the McClaren era England again. I wonder who Gareth Southgates mentor was. :erm:

Wife needs to know if United are at home the weekend Oct 7th.

I can only find a game on 30th Sept and the next one on 14 Oct. Is that week being used for the next round of World Cup qualifiers?

Here are the next dates Jim.

Thanks Den, my assumption was correct. :)

Here we go the usual England defensive mistakes.:(:td:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Gareth Southgate's Managerial highlights:

Relegated Middlesbrough.
Managed England U21's
Won 4 of 9 games as England manager thus far. 4.

Plays a keeper that literally cost us games in the Euro's, solid message to send, your place isn't in doubt regardless of how awful you manage to play.. Hart's then backed him right up on that tonight :D I mean blame Rashford for it all, but what on earth is Hart doing there? he just stops dead in front of the man and watches it coast past him. Make yourself big? or make yourself as useless as possible in this case. Did he forget he's allowed to handle the ball? Or is this Russia again where we've made the decision it's already a goal so he's not gonna bother trying.

Bang on about Rooney all you want I guess but the reality is, there's no leader on that pitch.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

English players are also overpaid , over-rated , spineless and lack any type of tactical in game intelligence plus they appoint crap unproven managers on top of that..
