What the f*ck does this lad need to do to get into the England squad? Another goal and assist last night and he doesn't even make the squad. I know it isn't an ecumenical matter as Father Jack would say but it now feels ludicrous.

Never knowingly right.

You mustn't have watched Leeds this season, Brian, he's been fantastic. Comes across as a humble, nice guy too in post-match interviews.


I watch them a lot, Myke.

I think he's decent, but he's nowhere near International class. A player who's good at lots of facets but not great at anything.

I think despite a brilliant 2018 overall - including the games in the Nations League thingy, I don't think England have really come on much in the intervening years, there is for once an embarrassment of riches, but I wonder whether Southgate really has the ability to turn it into sa top team capable of the top level.

Maybe a big unfair as last year happened but...….

But still better than anything Ireland have produced in the last 30 years


What a ridiculously inaccurate comment to make. Robbie Keane is the fifth highest goal-scorer of all time in Europe and THE ONLY PLAYER IN WORLD FOOTBALL to have scored at least one goal in NINETEEN CONSECUTIVE International matches

Yeah, but can he play the spoons?

Mr Keane's international record, I didn't realise he'd scored so many or played so many tbh.

If Bam-Bam plays for England he'll be the worst striker to do so since Kerry Dixon.


What about Jay Boothroyd and Franny Jeffers

I'd forgotten them, to be honest.

He could play a few friendlies for Ireland, get his eye in and then f* k off and play for England. I'm sure that's been done before??!!

From the Athletic today. Besides the tasty deal for Bees, very nicely done by Exeter - wonder how common that is in sell-ons.

Villa agreed a deal for Watkins worth £28 million, plus a potential £5 million more in add-ons, and The Athletic understands one of the areas covered by those extra payments is England appearances. Brentford stand to receive £1 million for each cap Watkins wins, up to a small number.

As with the initial transfer fee, 15 per cent of everything Brentford earn from Villa must be diverted to Exeter City, where Watkins started his career before joining the west London club in 2017 for £1.8 million. It means that each time Championship Brentford benefit financially from Watkins playing for England, League Two Exeter will be rewarded with £150,000 for their work in developing him.

Among the other bonuses negotiated by Brentford was related to Villa avoiding relegation from the top flight, they are 10th and already have the “magical” 41 points with 10 games still to play, which will secure them another £850,000 and Exeter an additional £150,000.

I can't see why he's dropped TAA for a start. Though Trippier has been having a way better season than people realise.

It's good to experiment with styles and players in the run up to a tournament to an extent but it's looking increasingly like he's trend chasing without a clear idea any more. Which is the opposite of what he brought when he came in.

Think that's why he's sticking with the ostensibly versatile Walker and Dier even though other proper CBs, RBs, DMs are absurdly far ahead of them.

Bit of a dicey game trying to flout the isolation rules with Bellingham. Should have just called up Curtis Jones IMO.


Trent Alexandar has been awful this season. Several right backs including Trippier, Walker, Reece James all ahead of him now.

As for Bamford he's having a good season but so are Calvert Lewin, Watkins and Kane, can't pick everyone

The one I dont get in that England squad is Eric Dier. Now someone will say that he can play in a back 2, a back 3 or in defensive mid, he's versatile. But whats the point of versatility if you are not very good in any position? There are at least 5 centre backs I'd try before him

Southgate is quite loyal to his players, Dier hasn't let him down for England so he has stayed in the squad
