Only if you’re wearing a waistcoat at the time.

What with their pursuit Pochettino as well, it's pretty clear what's happening.

They want the manager with the best experience of Wembley as they want to focus on the cups.

Raheem Sterling falls off the SPotY shortlist.

I couldn't bring myself to pick Lineker...

Oh gosh, it's international time yet again. How interesting.....zzzzzzzz.

Sorry, just dropped off there. More amazing management by Southgate, turning a slight altercation into an international incident and managing to look like the UN Secretary General delivering his verdict. It's serious business this England lark. Apparently.

Time will tell whether it's good management by Gareth.

Personally I like him making a stand on these petty club conflicts. England teams have suffered for years because of these club cliques and player factions. Time for something different. Gareth's message is the team is bigger than any individual and everyone is included. Great.

The most popular XI is now on the BBC website.

It's a combination of Man Utd players and MotD pundits. I'm so used to being disappointed by choices of the British public at this point, I can't even be bothered to share it.

Shit team that Franco, Barnes was shit for England (yeah apart from that goal) Waddle wasn’t much better either.

Trevor Francis in for that fast track penalty taking bully Harry Kane.

Why isn’t Glenn Hoddle in there?

Other noticeable omissions are Stan (Matthews not the prick that played for Forest), Geoff Hurst, Alan Ballbag, Bryan Robson & Terry Butcher.

Robson was a biscuit.

Barnes didn't live up to his club form I know, but he was the best player in England when I was getting into football. I didn't like that Liverpool side that was winning everything, but you couldn't not like Barnes. And more to the point, if I don't pick him who is going to do the rap?

Certainly not Hoddle. His best tournament was England's worse in Euro 88. And here's how that went...

Waddle was a brilliant footballer. I was watching him knock out Milan in the European Cup semi final from the comfort of my man cave the other day. The AC Milan that is the best club side of all time. I also like him on the radio which goes a long way. I like a headband, but that wasn't enough to get Butcher a place in my team.

And Harry Kane, by the time he's finished, that will be indisputable. He'll be England's all time top goalscorer, a golden boot winner, and he'll have lifted a trophy.

Sterling will be in there in 15 years time too.

That AC Milan was class & chocked full of quality but let’s be right they only dominated Europe because English teams were banned because the scousers murdered 39 Italians

Hoddle was the player of his generation & criminally under used by Greenwood & Robson

Yeah Harry Kane will be England’s top score because of the amount of mis match attack v defence games we have to endure these days

He should’ve handed that golden boot trophy back, a load penalties & a hat trick against a pub that were so bad I’ve forgotten who they were, I wouldn’t mind so much if he hadn’t gone missing against Croatia in the semi

I’ll be prepared to revise this view should we win a trophy

It's because too many teams qualify. There used to be 8 at the Euro finals, now there's 24.

God knows how the Dutch missed two consecutive major tournaments. Even the Germans will qualify easily.

There should probably be some sort of pre-qualifying to eliminate these total no-hoper types prior to the actual qualifying though. Notts County would put up a better fight than this lot.
