Gareth Southgate has received a knighthood for services to British sport.
"I didn't lose to ****ing Senegal, did I?", he may or may not have said.

England squad:

Goalkeepers:
Jordan Pickford, James Trafford, Dean Henderson
Defenders: Reece James, Marc Guehi, John Stones, Dan Burn, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Tino Livramento, Djed Spence
Midfielders: Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Jordan Henderson, Adam Wharton, Morgan Rogers, Declan Rice
Forwards: Harry Kane, Eberechi Eze, Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon, Noni Madueke, Marcus Rashford, Ollie Watkins

With James and Livramento in there, it looks like Spence is primarily in as a left-back.
Jordan Henderson is still getting selected.

Wonder why the Tottenham stadium isn’t used for England matches especially with its 62000 capacity ?
I think that they like to move it around the country if Wembley's not used.
Coldplay are playing it, which is why the game's at Villa Park.
It'll also be nice for the locals to see the home team score a goal. <whistle>
 
True as tbf.
As are his damning comments regarding Contes treatment of him when he signed.
And his comments abot
I'm A ****er ... loved that when he he won the EL he tagged warnock to take the piss <laugh>

Yeah looking back, there was no need for Conte to say what he did. For a young player it shattered his confidence and certainly wouldn’t have made him feel welcome.

Apparently Djed Spence is the first Muslim to pray, sorry: play for England?

Surprising if true.

@Spurlock to confirm.

Alhamdul'illah.
It is a bit surprising, but I can't think of anyone obvious that's been overlooked.
There was some suggestion a few years back that Luke Shaw was a Muslim.
Obviously untrue though, as that **** clearly eats plenty of bacon.
