If they're just going to go ahead and appoint Southgate or Pards idk why Allardyce couldn't be in the mix.

Allardyce would at least have the good grace to give Andy Carroll a call-up.

After 10+ years of living here it still amazes me how quickly England supporters switch from confident bragging to self-loathing. By the end of the game tonight, half the crowd were cheering for Iceland.

(in the pub where I was)
the reasons for that attitude are extremely well-documented and not particularly hard to parse instinctively parse imo but I'm far too inarticulate to tap them all out onto a broken smart phone while in my drunken stupor
We all want to support the team at heart, but circumstances conspire against us
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 23:41 (eight years ago) link
I should proofread, that was a disaster
The arrogance is bcuz ppl can't help but fall for the narratives of hope spun by the media in the build up to these things, the hatred is simply the self-loathing that kicks in once hope is lost and you realise that you've been had, again
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 23:43 (eight years ago) link
We can all play it cool on an Internet messageboard but a few weeks ago I was on here crowing after 45 minutes of the England-Russia game and I daresay in 2 years I'll be back again
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 23:46 (eight years ago) link
All very positive but worth bearing in mind that Russia are pish.

how on earth is gareth southgate the leading candidate here?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 10:20 (eight years ago) link
There's no point paying the England manager a lot of money at this point
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 10:24 (eight years ago) link
Presumably cheap and won't be in a position to spend £14m on Alfonso Alves again. He has been groomed for the role in his capacity as U-21 manager, like Stuart Pearce. International management apparently doesn't require any actual reputation or demonstrable skills.

think when i add it up england have probably given me more joy at tournaments than any other team.

they mentioned harry redknapp on sky earlier, england should be relieved with southgate in that case

did itv really have gil scott heron "it's your world" over the closing credits? fabulously vicious satire v impressed
mindblowing night, deliriously shit. can always lose a game but i'd honestly thought i'd seen everything englandwise

paul hayward -"credit to Alan Shearer for raising his hand. He would be capable, despite his inexperience."
why would he be capable? where the fuck is the evidence for this?? incredible.

"Why should he get it in front of Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce, who are proven managers?" Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 live.
The 69-year-old, who ruled out his own chances of getting the job, said that he would back Tim Sherwood for the position.
sherwood obviously a proven manager

i really want big sam to get it. it'd be hilarious.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 11:25 (eight years ago) link
sadly he's probably the most competent englishman
― pandemic, Tuesday, 28 June 2016 11:31 (eight years ago) link
yeah prob is the best man for the job, like besides that cup run at fulham roy's record is not wildly different from allardici.
strangely if his name was allardici today he wouldn't get the job.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 11:35 (eight years ago) link
allardyce would at least set england up like the 'small' team they are and from that mindset try to construct ways to nick results.
― pandemic, Tuesday, 28 June 2016 12:25 (eight years ago) link
for me Allardyce ticks every box including hilarity

Iceland defender Ragnar Sigurdsson has suggested England were complacent before their defeat last night.
Sigurdsson scored Iceland's equalising goal before Kolbeinn Sigthorsson got the winner.
"They thought this would be a walk in the park but we had faith in our ability," Sigurdsson said.
"It went well. We didn't feel that England created any chances. We were just heading away long balls. I wasn't stressed in the second half."
