    Sorry, for clarity's sake, are you suggesting a proven world class, generational talent of a manager who has won absolutely everything there is to win in football would be no better at getting the England to perform than Gareth Southgate who once won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach award?

    I'm not completely for or against Southgate, think he's done a good job overall without being able to finish the ultimate task. Think being an international coach is so much harder than club football in terms of you have such little time with the players and you have to rely on the players you think fit and want in your side, Kalvin Phillips for example, actually playing club football and not dropping off a cliff form wise. Think we could play more expansive football though and some of the selections are confusing.

    He'd probably have a statue outside of Wembley if we were any good at pens though.

    Lots of safe passes and not much offered going forward, would be my prediction.

    There is a scenario if England win and Scotland win they both progress to the knockout stages
    However it is also possible if Scotland win and England loose England go through as third place best team and Scotland fail

    I'm looking forward to seeing him tbh ...

    ... I remember you saying he'd be a good signing at a time when I didn't know much about him.

    I genuinely believed that. He wasn’t bad just another who didn’t contribute much. Good luck to the lad

    This could be a really good game ...

    ... I just hope Scotland score to reward that support.

    Energetic but a little too wild, looks like he's been asked to ruin McGinn's party.

    Jarca, Scout and all other Scottish lads. What do you think of Gilmore? I watch him briefly, but have a poor opinion of him. Plays in that deep lying continuity role but seema quite limited to me. Doesnt play on the half turn enough? Scotland need a brave pass or two tonight - hope he can make it. I want Scotland to progress so hoping he is more than I see
