He is a decent manager, and has been working with the U21s or whatever they are now and been succesful with them as well. I hope we stuff Scotland, won't ever wish an England defeat just like I wouldn't wish a Wednesday one.
Don't like the international breaks but that just because I hate it when we don't play at the wekend!!
Pretty much agree.
Thought Southgate was an FA man but over the last few years, he has dug his heels in with the FA over where & when players should play in tournaments and has been proven correct. Think the FA are coming round to the fact that Southgate might be right and their men in suits might be wrong.
His track record at age group level is excellent and I am struggling to think of anyone better.
Having said all that, International football comes way down the pecking order for me after Wednesday.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
