Gareth Southgate-The Ultimate Yes man

[ClaretinBudapest]

What a first class **** he is.According to the British Bull**** Corporation:-

Gareth Southgate says "some people aren't understanding the message" after fans at the Riverside Stadium jeered when players took a knee before England's friendly win over Austria.

The resounding message is the ordinary football fan is sick and tired of FIFA, EUFA, the English FA and Her Majesty's Government conflating the beautiful game with politics.

Southgate is a tw@t. Half of the England team is black - what other message do we need to send out? Get off your knees you grovelling bast@rds.

I'm sure the average football fan understands the message well enough and agrees with it. He/she just doesn't agree that millionaire footballers getting on their knees before every game is the best way of expressing it.

Absolutely spot on sinkov. Why don’t Southgate and all the rest talk to fans instead of preaching at them? Maybe they’d get our message then.

I know that, you know that and he knows that but he is a yes man and he has to appear woke otherwise he would probably lose his job.He also knows most fans are sick of political platitudes in sport and it is nothing to do with racism but instead he comes out with tripe like that giving the perception that he is so much more intelligent when in fact it just proves what a yes man he is and that he is fully behind any Marxist political agendas that are seeping into all sports thereby securing a job for life with the FA.What a c@nt!

It seems like Southgate is not well liked on here!

..because, Outwood....they'd discover that the overwhelming majority of "fans" don't give a damn about a persons skin colour - but thats not what they (the PTB ) want to promote, they enjoy stoking division, fermenting hate...and finding blame where it doesn't exist....which really means, they are the true bigoted and fractious fanatics we need to be rid of.

phook em !

Pope knacked, Maguire knacked, Henderson knacked.

Quiz time. Which two are still in Southgate's squad?

Southgate is bonkers, plain and simple.

The simple answer is all three should have been given eight weeks off to be ready for next season and I amazed Klopp and Solskjaer have allowed Henderson and Maguire to be put at further risk.

if I was at a match and the players took the knee [what an irritating phrase], I would boo, too.

Me too QN, I've said before, if they carry on with this pantomime next season I might go on a match or two just to give them a good booing.

What is really sad is how all the woke brigade think the booing is driven purely and simply by racism. They are just so far up their own backsides they've completely lost touch with the real world ordinary people live in.
