The real issue is the TV talent spotters. I mean who thought "I know, that Jermain Jenas and Michael Owen seem a ****ing hoot and just radiate charisma"?

English football seems to be remarkably incestuous when it comes to ex-players careers. You only have to listen to most of them to realise that they are thick and haven't mastered the English language. Hardly the best combination for a manager or a pundit on TV. They get these jobs because of who they are, not what they can do.
I cringe whenever Jermaine Jenas pops up on the One Show as you can tell he has no real clue how to conduct an interview. He doesn't listen to or maybe understand the answer and can't follow-up because of that.
The Womens World Cup really highlighted this issue, when the BBC studio was packed full of ex-players and the current Arsenal Women's Manager. Former players spouted off the usual cliches while he gave real insight into how the game, the players and how the coaches should be looking to change things.
I recall Wilson coming back with absolute ****ing stinking form the last time he went out with England.
England manager Gareth Southgate on injury concerns:
"We could lose one today after a scan. We could lose one tomorrow. We don't really know.
"You'd be amazed how complicated picking a squad is because all clubs are sensitive to information.
"I can't be certain that everyone in the squad will be there on Sunday night.
"Callum [Wilson] is probably the biggest doubt."

The situation is getting out of control and we're going to start losing regularly if they can't get players back after the international break.
LiVARpool denied a 97th minute equaliser…beautiful thing to watch! **** off Klopp you wonky toothed melt!
Bring on the tears. Klopp Arteta and to a lesser extent ETH (because he’s ****) are really making this season fun.
At least Roly should be happy - a week away from Howe’s mismanagement should ensure Wilson is fit for after the International break.
You klopps presser after the game? ****ing hilarious! Toulouse fans are gannin mental outside the room and he’s rattled to **** like, tremendous!
Watching England U17 against New Caledonia. It’s the U17 World Cup in Indonesia. 57minutes gone and we are 6-0 up with NC down to 10men. How they qualified I don’t know.
