@Robbie In a Single word NO. Same Old Same Old. A Coach who hasn't Got A Clue, who fails to Inspire his Players or has the ability to change things around. Bellingham was more or less Invisible tonight. Kane got his Goal, but had some luck, the ball came off a couple of Danish Defenders before it fell to him, but Kudos to the guy for doing his Job and Putting the Ball in the Back of the net. I Dredd to think what's going to Happen when England face one of the Big Teams. Just Do Us All A Favour once this Tournament is over Resign Southgate.

@Fan of Big Tone If you put your mind to it, I Bet You Can. Anyway have a Great Birthday.

Another Song with the Same Title by MPeople. Moving On Up NOTHING'S GONNA STOP ME!! A Simple Statement for Notts Players To Adopt?

@Fan of Big Tone So What's It Like To Be 21?

Reading the comments on this Topic I will ask So where and with whom does the Buck Stop? Southgate or the Players? Southgate picks the team (with players not playing in the position they play with their Club) deploys the Game Plan and Tactics. England score and Go back into Negative mode. Teams such as Italy Germany Spain on the other hand go in search of a 2nd or even 3rd Goal. They Go Out to kill off the Opposition. The 3 Lions on the other hand tend to sit back and invite pressure. Realistically if it had been one of the Top Teams England has faced the other evening instead of Serbia, I am fairly Certain England would have lost the match playing as they Did. Southgate seems to stick with his same tactics regardless, he doesn't appear to be able to change things around or is Determined Not To. Hence the critique from the likes of the Fan in the Video. He doesn't offer alternatives, Well No He's Not the England Manager and if he had put in his thoughts of how England could improve, would the England Camp watch the video Throw up their Arms and say Of Course this is where we're going wrong, this Guy as all the answers. No he's offering an opinion and when it's all said and done, it doesn't matter what I think about how England played, it doesn't matter what everybody else in this thread think how England played or what the Guy in the video thinks , opinions are like A*** Holes everybody's as got one. Finally I'll add this Like an awful lot of Teams both League and International England have NO Leader On The Pitch, a player who can take charge make things happen, a Player who can Inspire Control and Encourage his Team Mates, to Win Vital Matches.

While going round an Antique Market a Woman finds an ornate mirror, which she falls in Love with, it costs a £100, she buys it and takes it home. She shows her Husband and tells him she's going to hang the Mirror in Their Bedroom. She hangs the Mirror and while looking in the Mirror at her refection she say's I Wish I Had Bigger Boobs Then suddenly her Boobs begin to swell and get bigger. She rushes down stairs and shows her Husband. How did that happen? asks her Husband. I think that Mirror I bought must be magic replies his wife. I was stood in front of the Mirror and said I Wish I Had Bigger Boobs, and this happened. Her Husbands runs up stairs looks into the Mirror and says I Wish My Willy touched the floor. Then his Legs Fell Off.

I was thrown out of Weight Watches for making Sarcastic Comments during the Weekly Weigh In. I of course took it with Huge Grace. Because they threw her out as well.

Watched his Interview, very Positive and Confident he speaks well. Dropping down a League seems slightly strange but if Notts did offer him more money and he believes Notts can improve him as a player, then his return to League 2 will hopefully benefit both him and Notts in the Long Run.

Trouble is as you say @Robbie, If a player doesn't play in the Top Six Clubs a Great Deal of the Time Southgate will over look a player. He's always had his favourites and that on occasion as Cost England.

Yes @Robbie I do notice, Prime Example Jordan Sancho, Manchester United paid £73 million for him, increased wages No Doubt and he fell out with Ten Hag won't apologies gets left out of the United Squad. Goes back to Dortmund on loan who want to re-sign him but can't because despite United being prepared to take a loss, they're asking price is still to much for Dortmund, who if they did manage to scrape together the money to buy Sancho, would he be prepared to take a considerable drop in money? Probably Not so he'll be banded about by his agent to other clubs, and all the time it takes him to find another Club, the more his Football Suffers. And he'll end up playing an odd season at one club, before moving on to another a Football Nomad for the rest of his career.

@OoooooTommy there are more young English players in the Premier League now than a few years ago. Which is all well and Good. But I ask again, Will that English Talent get the chance to play regularly for their team or be continually loaned out, because their place in their Club's Squad is taken by a Overseas player? And with the vast Majority of Premier League Clubs being coached by Foreign Coaches, it would seem they have a Preference for Foreign Players over English Players. And That Is Wrong and Doesn't Benefit the England Team.

That's whole point @liampie will English up and coming talent be given the chance to pit their skills against good Foreign players in the Premiership ? Because for every Haaland Salah and Son there is a bunch of Mediocre Foreigners playing for teams that are stopping young Talented English players getting into their Club's Starting XI. Eventually this will have an Effect on the English National Side. It seems a lot of English Talent is going to Europe Now, as European Clubs recognize their worth where Premier League Clubs Do Not. How long will it be before we see Jack Grealish in a Spanish Italian or German team's shirt? How much more English talent will move abroad because they don't Get A Fair Crack Of The Whip in England's Premier League? However it seems if an English player moves abroad unless he continually makes the Headlines e.g. Bellingham and Kane they seem to be forgotten by England. And yet if they had been given a chance to play regularly by an English top team they very well could end up playing on a regular basis for their Country.

Unfortunately @Robbie you speak the truth and even here at Notts we are witnessing the decline of the English/British way of playing. The Tippy Tappy style of Football which was successful for the Magpies in the National League and for the first six months of last season seems here to stay. Perhaps the only way it would be gotten rid of, is if Notts endured a season long Relegation Battle and in the worse case were actually Relegated back to the National League. Otherwise we Fans are going to be stuck watching this Mind Numbing Boring Chuckle Brother's From Me To You Type Of Football. As you also state there are English Players stuck in the Lower Leagues, who if they were members of a Premier League Team would be playing for England on a Regular Basis. Prime Example Macca what sort of Headlines would he be getting if his scoring records of the Last Three seasons (2 with Notts 1 with Gateshead) were done for a top Premier League Team.? He be on the same level as Harry Kane and playing along side him in the England Team. Then again Knowing Southgate he probably wouldn't. Another Interesting point Top English players are now plying their trade in Europe. Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid, Harry Kane at Bayern Munich and Jordon Sancho must be kicking himself, by leaving Dortmund for Manchester United, it would seem his life as been hell at Old Trafford. Once he returned to Dortmund on loan, his Footballing Career began to be back on the Up.

There was an Expedition Group exploring an uncharted piece of heavily Jungled terrain. When they were captured by a local Tribe and were taken to their King, who declared that the Group would be sacrificed to their Gods. The Groups leader stepped forward and said, Your Majesty is their a way where we can keep our lives? The King thinks then say's There are four challengers which one of must under take. If he passes the Challengers you are free to go. Little Paddy steps forward and says I'll take on your challengers Mighty King. Very Well says the King. Firstly you must drink a full bottle of our 100% Spirit which we brew in one Go. Then you must walk bare foot across a bed of white hot coals. Thirdly in a cave in the Mountain, there is a Female Mountain Lion with a painful loose tooth hanging from her jaw you must remove the tooth with your bare hands and finally, you must go down into the village and make Love to the Ugliest Woman in our tribe. No problem says Paddy. And off he sets to complete the Challengers. First the bottle of100% spirit straight down it goes. Taking off his Boots and socks Paddy walks across the white hot coals. Then he sets off up the Mountain path into the cave of the Female Mountain Lion. Every one followed at a safe Distance. From within the cave comes the sounds of Growling and Roaring and screams of Pain and Agony. The group are convinced poor Paddy is Dead. But quarter of an hour later Paddy staggers out of the cave Badly Mauled Clawed covered in blood his clothes Ripped to Shreds. Right he says Where's the Woman with Toothache?

@Chris Regarding your Manager Falling of a Chair, in the Words of BSM Williams. OH DEAR HOW SAD. NEVER MIND.

Is There A Danger of the National England Football Team becoming a less Potent Force, within World Football? As the influx of Foreign players and Coaches in the Premier League seems to get larger with each passing season, how soon will it be before it's starts having an effect on the England Team? Because it seems that there are less and less English Players coming through the Ranks of Footballing Academies in the Premier League. From which all England players are chosen. The Fault lies purely at the feet of the F.A. due to the fact they allow far to many Foreign business people take over the running of a Team ,who instead of encouraging Home Grown Talent, will go out and pay millions upon millions of pounds on players, mainly from Overseas, While English talent is left to go to waste. If this trend continues it will have an effect on future England Teams, who's manager may find himself in the Position of having to look at players from the Championship and perhaps even League 1. The Exception to the rule at the moment anyway seems to be Liverpool. Who used several of their Academy players in their first team against Chelsea in the Final of the League Cup. However with the retirement of Jurgen Klopp, will Liverpool tend to go the way most Premier League clubs do and buy their talent instead of picking players from their thriving Academy? What Is The Answer? This problem as already been touched upon by other members on the PON Site and that is Only a certain amount of Foreign players will be allowed in a Teams Squad and only a set number can turn out each week in the Starting XI, the remainder should be made up of English Players and every Club should be encouraged to produce players from within the Ranks of their Academies. Ignore bringing on English Talent, and eventually there is a chance of England becoming A Second Class Footballing Nation.

Leicester Aston Villa Nottingham Forest and Wolves. Are currently the only teams from the Midlands who are in the Premier League. Leicester and Forest are the only two in the East Midlands and as one as just come up from the Championship and the other has struggled, since their return to the English Top Tier is it any wonder the East Midlands have failed to produce a Regular England International Player? And any outstanding English player outside of the Premier League as more chance platting sand than getting into the England Squad. Add the fact that most Premier Clubs will sooner buy Mediocre Foreign Players for Millions of Pounds to fill their Squads, than bring on their own talent from their Academies,

There were these two Old Girls who were always on the look out for a Bargain. One day they were walking round a Market and one of them finds a Toilet Brush on the label it says For All Your Toilet Needs. Only 50p So she buys it. It's the last one. Anyway the Two Old Girls meet up again a Fortnight later. Here Edith how are you getting on with that Toilet Brush? Well I'm still using it Ada, but my Husband's gone back to using Toilet Paper.

@Chris Now Me , I 'd told the Aussies to B******S and stick their signed Bat where the Sun Don't Shine. I would have given the Manager a round of F**** and the Truth about him being a Lazy B****** and Quit on the Spot. And Believe me it wouldn't have been the First time.

Personally I think the Guy has some good points But we all have different opinions and that's what makes the Football World Go Round.

Well it seems that the Recruitment Team have taken on the worries that Notts Fans have regarding defensive players and a Goalkeeper. Alex had 16 clean sheets last year and just missed out on the Golden Gloves for League 2. Hopefully he and Tiernan Brookes ( who should be promoted to the Notts Senior Squad) can form a decent partnership and help and push each other. He was signed for an Undisclosed Fee. Why do Notts persist in saying this, just tell us Fans how much he cost. It will come out eventually so why Not Tell the Fans from the start?

@Robbie There have been GB Olympic teams in the past they won Gold on three separate occasions in the .early 20th Century, 1900, 1908 and 1912. They have been more attempts at forming a GB Olympic team in recent years which included some Professional Players but the GB team failed to qualify for the competition. Over the years I think it can be said England have had the most success in qualifying and playing in Major Tournaments, but would a Great Britain been a better choice? Players like George Best, Dennis Law, Kenny Dalglish John Toshack would have easily got into the England team of their era. Billy Bremner Pat Jennings Terry Hennessey and Gareth Bale are players from other UK Countries who would have benefitted playing in a Combined GB or UK Team. There must be a long list of Players (other than Englishmen) who would make it into a Great Britain Side a side capable of Winning a Euro's or World Cup Final.

With the Euro's now in full flow and England and Scotland having different experiences and some of the shocking Results England and the Home Countries have had in Past Major Football Tournaments what if all the GB FA Authorities could agree, do you think a Great Britain Side would do any better in the Euro's or World Cup. But more importantly, would team GB Get The Support?

@liampie What a Boring Web Site PON would be if we all Agreed about everything, would it Not? You and I it seems Agree to Disagree about Southgate. His success with the England Under21's I was not fully aware of, however as they say You Can't Keep Living On Past Glories. And while his Results Record is Good his Legacy will reflect the fact like a lot of England Managers before him he failed to Win a Major Tournament. Yes I know the Euro's are still being played at the moment, but Hand On Heart I Can't See England Winning the Competition. I would be more than happy to be proven Wrong. And even if Southgate's England Team are Crowned Europe's Best. He's a Million Miles Away From being the G.O.A.T. Which is what this topic was all about and which seems we've wondered off.

@Robbie Yes you're probably right, however I think the case for their reinstatement is they would be more meaningful than all these second rate so called Friendlies, that the 3 Lions play. I mean I don't know about you but I would sooner watch an England vs Scotland Match than England vs Iceland or England vs Norway or Luxembourg Match. I think Matches against a fellow UK country would Generate More Interest than against some Mediocre European Side.
