Agree that players are elevated to a higher rating far too soon in this country. This is particularly true if at a big club. Walker has had a great career though for me he lacks touch and his crosses are often wild.

It all started going downhill in 1970

Cologne known for its scent. England stinking the place out

Think Foden has been off it since the Cup Final

31 next month. At the moment he makes Vardy look 27

So many players in the past under used or not used at all by England managers

I thought somebody would think that but no just had more sense than to watch England and listen to me shouting at the tv

My wife had the better idea of watering the garden plants.

Yep. Remember when Alf Ramsey had the bottle not to bring Jimmy Greaves back and keep Hurst and Hunt. Southgate no doubt would prefer an off form or half fit Kane rather than pick someone else

No proper left back in the squad fit enough. I hate the idea of taking injured players

Disappointed that the 2 Scotland goals not included

I think Rice is overrated too but that is not the point. Very much doubt he would have been picked for such criticism if he had continued his international career with Ireland. As you say if Rice had gone Dutch or indeed anywhere else the bloke in question would have kept quiet I think. Anyway some of Ireland's better players chose them as unlikely to get in England squad and went down the grandparent route etc

So tiresome when the greedy in the game chase more cash

Nobody in BBC has mentioned that or that he pulled the defender's shirt

Without the grace of course

I would rather watch Stevenage v Burton on this evidence

Nimrod is fantastic too

I agree about all 3. Shame we are stuck with the old dirge. Seems daft we can't change for England only sports

Anyone remember the bias held by some in Scotland against Scotland players who were at English clubs. It was quite a thing in the Scottish press at the time

Great tune. I wish England had as good even if we couldn't have the pipes

I see where you are going but Tom Jones is from same hometown as Steve Cooper

Yes. Despite mistakes look at the honours won compared to other clubs outside the usual suspects since King Power took over. Seems a lot here can just transfer their imagination into reality. Where are these new perfect owners?

Totally agree. I hope any parents on here on are teaching their children not to engage in these sort of nasty comments on social media.

Here we go. Apart from the Andrew Hughes link we now appear to be heading for pages of guesswork and dreaming without substance or evidence

A win and a draw but could easily have lost both
