He'd have been a good fit. Eloquent and not controversial. The career he has had so far surely should have led him to manage his country.
The German is only on an 18 month contract. I think Eddie Howe will get the job after him, and rightly so.
Hundreds of them congregating in Shepherds Bush yesterday morning at 10am, there’s a large Spoons opposite the station & it must have taken good money.
Blimey, you don't get long as a Gaffer these days... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cddyqvl8z6jo Though Cloughie only got 44 days at Leeds
On this day in 1988, we beat Southampton 1-0 at The Dell in front of 12k supporters. Garth Crooks poached the winning goal in the 62nd minute.
I'm no fan of Saint Gareth Southgate, but I thought there was a lot of sense in what he said about young men needing guidance. As far as I can tell social media is awash with people like Andrew Tate, who flash their bling and spout their hate messages, convincing young boys that they should behave just like that if they want to be seen as 'men' and get respect & success. And apparently such content is deliberately aimed at young people through their smart phones. Shame on the social media giants. It's about time it was stopped. So well said Gareth
I hear Thomas Tuchel wants to see his England players using the physicality of the Premier League in their qualifying games. Doh! Who could have thought the solution was so simple! What happens when players get physical in UEFA internationals? They get an early bath. If we really want to win at any cost, it's the dark Arts all the way. But is anything worth winning if that's what you have to do?
Crooks was totally over rated as a player that said he was immensely better as a player than a pundit. He was dreadful
This day in 1985 we beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at The Valley in front of 3,700 supporters. Mike Flanagan with the only goal of the game.
Bang out of order https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c98166j9l0xo The kid offers the goalkeeper a ball, which gets snatched off him then the bloke shoves the poor kid to the ground. Even if something was said - which is highly unlikely - that was totally out of order. I wouldn't have been shocked if one of the fans behind the goal had come onto the pitch and had a word with the bully. He should pick on people his own size, the petulant moron.
