The thing that struck me about last night wasn't just the performance .. it was the attitude of the players after the game in their interviews.. no getting carried away .. all very focused.. and all singing from the same song sheet .. kudos to Southgate for developing this kind of mentality within the camp. Denmark will be a tough game, let's not kid ourselves and they do seem to ha e a bit of a hoodoo over us recently .. but .. and it's a nervy but .. I'm confident'ish' of going all the way. As for the other semi they can batter lumps out of each other .. go to extra time pens sudden death pens have 3 each sent off and still be taking the pens after midnight for all I care.. whisper it softly peeps .. but dare I say it 'its coming home !'
And they all appeared to be really singing the national anthem.
 
He might not have the fanciest managerial record but, think these things are often a matter of circumstance. Manager who can understand his players and everyone working together well. A good team must almost manage itself. He’s been around the England set up a long time and worked his way through the ranks, knows it inside out. Knows the talent in the youth teams and has seen it all blossom.

Not only that he’s a thoroughly decent and grounded chap, not a buffoon like McLaren or a dictator like Capello.

I can’t think of a better man for the job.
But he’s a **** if we lose on wensdee

There's plenty waiting to pounce when/if we lose - it doesn't matter that he's smart and articulate and that during his tenure of the under 21's he studied under top coaches (of all sports) all over the world; the armchair managers and critics, the gutter press will all have their say - like the utter ****s that they are.
