Have you actually seen any of the second half? They've almost been punished it was that boring.

to go with KWP, Harry Kane and Oliver Skipp.
Plenty of paper planes launched though?
I really enjoyed it. My United mate came over - first time since his heart attack - and we had a good laugh and football chitchat with a generally pleasing game to accompany us.
I thought Bellingham was the stand-out, Grealish and Sterling did fine too. I liked Ward-Prowse too - he's not a starter but a very decent second string. It was a good opportunity for Southgate to see how the likes of those (not Strerling of course) can fit in where needed. KWP and Conor Gallagher continue to impress, all good.
My only gripe was Serge Aurier's red card. The first offence was a borderline yellow (an England defender did something similar in the second half without any caution or even a warning), the dissent for the second was very minor (unless he called the ref a cunt in French, which didn't seem likely). It was unnecessarily petty and sort of spoilt the game as a contest, even though England were comfortably on top at the time.

I’ve got to agree with this, Southgate and the players. Seems the crowd was made up with Man U fans from twitter. Absolutely bizarre behaviour.
Isn't it all because of his cuntish behaviour in Greece?
No, it's because he's playing bad for Utd and everyone is piling on
Hmm. I disagree. I think a lot of people were disgusted by his 'don't you know who I am' behavior.
Looking at the replies to Kane on twitter, it seems Maguire's club form is the main reason for the booing.
If that's the case it's pathetic.
When did he display that?
In Greece, presumably. I don't know exactly because I'm waffling and casually making things up to suit my argument.
Probably a different discussion altogether but Southgate doesn't help things when he stills picks players out of form for a friendly, surely these games should be for the ones in form playing well? Like Dier etc (not to fussed he didn't) and all the fullbacks we have he plays Ben White @ RB as well.

White was garbage. Hopefully won’t get picked again after last night
