The England National Team

I am cautiously optimistic, I think under him we should get a more settled system at least which will surely be of some benefit.

Just seen on Facebook that twenty years ago today David Beckham made his England debut. Fuck I feel old.

In fairness, there's probably good reason for thinking that Owen is currently England's third or fourth best midfielder.

Claiming someone is England's best midfielder is a bit like damning with faint praise.

This is all dumb, i'm obviously England's best midfielder, i mean ive not played much football in the past few years either so i'm perfectly qualified right?

So Fat Sam announces his line up 42hours ahead of kick off and it's pretty much no change from a Roy set up. Henderson starting alongside Dier is not inspiring. Still playing Rooney in behind the striker, the out of form Harry Kane.

Would have probably made a few changes myself, Drinkwater ahead of Hendo and Vardy ahead of Kane at the least.

Not expecting a thriller tomorrow!

Bloody hell that first half is a bore!

It's England, what do you really expect pal?

In the absence of anything else I suppose the jammy bastard 95th minute winner method counts.

Could've been worse but must do better in future.

Can someone check Martin Skrtel's bank account for money from bent Malaysian bookies? The man was on a mission to get himself marching.

And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky Slovakians!

"Who am I to tell Wayne Rooney where to play?.." - Sam Allardyce.

Well Sam, that is actually your job....

Just sack the cunt already and save us two more years of this shite.

Completely forgot this game was on. Then I don't really give a fuck about the national team anyway.

I take it from the comments I didn't miss much?

Jammy 95th minute winner and Skrtel trying too hard to get sent off aside, not really.

This is probably going to be a more in depth in the next few weeks given the article mentions references to current Premier League managers and recent transfers. But this initial revelation looks very bad.

Big Sam is fucked.

Apparently Allardyce has offered to resign and some journos expect the situation to be resolved tonight.

Sam Allardyce to leave England role tonight. Mutual agreement between him and FA to part ways

Yeah a lot of other writers reporting the same.

Fucking hilarious.

Leaves with a 100% record. Best England manager ever. Not even the most bent, Don Revie surely takes that accolade.

Apparently it's been confirmed. Big Sam is gone.

More smoke...

Dunno if this is confirmation enough, not exactly Alan's Available tweeting at the FA but...

Sam Allardyce loses job as England managerhttps://t.co/3cciZUTYyF pic.twitter.com/LIn5VTtYYZ

Allardyce gone, expect Gareth Southgate to take over as caretaker in the short term.

— Owen Gibson (@owen_g) September 27, 2016

I'm sure getting my post count up tonight.

Praying Southgate is NOT the long term option.

Edit: was a shite post. Can't delete. Pls ignore.

He's gone.

FA Statement.

Craig Allardyce set to take over as caretaker?


Makes you wonder what the FA did with the Stevens report, he was obviously corrupt.

Loses his dream job after one match. It's just so beautiful.

Oh and the highlight of the day:

Crazy what's happened with Big Sam. Don't know what he was thinking getting involved. He'd finally got his dream job, so unnecessary.

FA will be dying for Southgate to win his games in charge so they can give it to him permanently...

I'm sure he ruled himself out of it on a permanent basis before they gave it to Sam? Praying he does the same this time around!
