    Odds on to qualify for a 4th, proper, competition now.

    God knows how well he would do if he was half decent...

    Yeeesssss!!!

    That was Charltonesque how we were so dominant and ended up so battered.
    Still, 3 points in Italy. Last time that happened, I wasn't born.

  • Good result, should make qualifying reasonably simple.

    First team we've beaten in the FIFA top 10 rankings under Southgate?

    Or does it not count as it was a poor Italy team?

    How can FIFA allow this referee to continue.
    Simply the worst.

    Easy peasy. Beat Italy away for the first time since the 60s. I wonder if all the people tantruming before the game that Southgate should TaKe ThE HaNdBrAkE oFf will ever understand that playing a consistent way with balance and control is what you do in international football. We just held out comfortably for 15 minutes against Italy away from home and we can do that because we have a consistent team used to playing a certain way with the same players. The red barely registered. Managed the game well and never really looked like not winning it

    Game of two halves.

    A first win in Italy since the first manned space trip. 

    Great 1st half England but we just invited pressure 2nd half.

    Not sure... I presumed this was our first, as there were a lot of comments after the French defeat saying we couldnt beat teams in the Top 10 rankings (?)

    Taken many sudden death penalties yourself? 
    Nope but if had any brain or bravery he wouldn't revert everytime to trying to defend a lead when literally everyone knows defending isnt exactly our strong suit,  if he hadnt done that and just let the team.play to its strengths I would say the sudden death penalties wouldnt have happened. Oh and I suspect we would also have won atleast 1 WC and 1 Euros.

    Bloke is a numb skull and just wont learn

    Spare a thought for the whiners who want to slag off everything about England and Southgate who are struggling to come up with anything tonight.
