    We've not won owt since 1966 & I think we were lucky then but we've gone backwards since
    That's over 50 years
    Sky's influence has been around for less than 20 years so whilst I hate what Sky has done to our game the reason for our lack of success goes much deeper.
    Try looking for starters at Lancaster Gate

    Southgate is a yes man that will bow down to the bigger clubs. While ever, there is pressure from the big clubs not to pick their players we'll have a mediocre team.

    Likewise in the big games. Your Shelvey's get overlooked because they don't play for fashionable clubs. It's time Sessegnon, Maddison and co got some game time.

    Too many U21 and bit part players in the squad, won't be long before we're having to get players from the Championship, going to end up like Scotland unless there's a limit put on the number of foreign players.

    Deli Alli latest to pull out with a minor muscle problem
    Tottenham hoping he will have recovered by the weekend
    What's betting?
    Any takers?

    It certainly wouldn't bother him if it was The World Cup or Euros finals, he like many before ( Rooney etc ) have the same disregard for qualifying games , let the others hopefully get us to qualify , and I'll be ready to go in the Finals, I don't rate him , never have , another "i think I'm better than the rest "

    I wouldn't mind so much but the foreigners outside of the top 6 are all fairly ordinary .

    Not keen missen roma , not as good as he thinks he is and if his mate Kane ain't scoring he may as well stop at hoome n'all .

    Still winds me up thinking about that chance he missed bang on half time in the semi final against Croatia .

    That goes in and we go 2-0 up at half time .arghhhh !!

    Niver going to see us win owt whilst I'm on this earth , may as well chalk feck it on it .
