That would be because he's a woke waistcoat wearing wanky whopper.

This is some killjoy shit. You can think Southgate's crap all you like, but fans of the NT getting behind the side during tournaments and singing songs shouldn't be infuriating to you. People were just enjoying the moment of England reaching semi's/finals of major tournaments, many fans won't have experienced that in their lifetimes.
He's a limited, conservative manager but a decent bloke who has given England fans some good memories and changed the atmosphere around the team.
How shit must Leno be?and now it's been revised to an even lower score!!
Based on what? Supporting his footballers taking the knee as an anti racist gesture?
Load of shit. Being a normal human being is 'woke' now apparently.
I’m thinking of supporting Wales in the World Cup
For me he has every right to support taking the knee but he is going to a country with stadiums built by slaves and we hear nothing. Easy to virtue when there is no consequences, Southgate the FA and everyone around it are gutless if they continue to say fuck all while taking the knee.
Since the Euros:
Apart from battering farmers; 7 / 7 crap performances.
1 win (saved by late pen)
4 draws
2 losses
5 scored
2 pens
3 open play
2 x Kane
1 x Stones.
0 x other attackers
0 x MFers
1 point out of 9 vs Hungary.
Fuck the "only 10 days" narrative.... It's been September > June.
You're Welsh? Or your country hasn't qualified?
It’s simple guys. You play shit negative football you HAVE TO WIN. It’s like Mourinho long as you win it’s ok, the second you don’t it’s fucked.
Southgate and England can always get around this by playing decent football, you lose and play nice fans will accept but they won’t accept playing shit and losing.

Well...... We got to the semi final of the World Cup by beating Costa Rica, Panama (losing to Belgium in the group), Colombia and finally Sweden.
Losing the semi final to Croatia before being beaten by Belgium yet again in the 3rd place lay off.
So won 4 lost 3.
Sounds a lot better to just say "Southgate got us to the World Cup Semi Final!"
Euros was slightly better - beating Germany, Ukraine and Denmark in the knockout stages to reach the final......
Home advantage helped and the fact that Germany were in dissaray the whole tournament and just scraped out of their group.
Oh there's bucket loads of hypocrisy there for sure. If the FA was genuinely extremely principled they'd have boycotted two world cups by now.
But calling Southgate 'woke' is an insult is just dumb. All he did was support his team taking a knee, which is a gesture every team in England is taking part in. From what I can tell everything else he's said boils down to 'prejudice is bad' which unless you're a total twat, everyone agrees with.
Can you explain the shit performances in Sep/Oct for me then pls?
Being tired is also not an excuse for losing 4-0 at home to Hungary.
The starting outfield players tonight played an average of 38 games last season so the "They were knackered" doesn't cut the mustard.
The issue is clear though, Southgate and England have made a clear point politics and morals are part of football and I am fine with that but soon as they get a real true test they bottle it. Imagine playing a World Cup in America in the 19th century with white slave owners and black people forced to work the cotton fields. That is what we are doing now just it’s the Middle East.
I won’t be watching the World Cup and have made that clear, we shouldn’t be going and we have no right to make gestures if we have nothing to back it up.
Sorry I don’t like the football and I don’t like the cowardice.
Yeah, but that's a new generation. The current mainstays are full of disappointment and these new ones are full of overrated 'potential' like that last ones were which will inevitably lead to disappointment...rinse and repeat.
Whataboutery from you Deuterz? Whodathunkit? That French generation has a big medal if you don't remember.
I’m fucking English but we stand no fucking chance with that cunt at the helm!!
No they aren't. They got to a semi final and a final whilst many players weren't in their prime. That's not a disappointment. Unless you're basing them being a disappointment on some nations league games, in which case, how's the bottom of that barrel you're scraping?
And yeah we get it, you don't like English fans, or players, or English anything I'd assume. Apart from this English football club.
You're 'fucking' English but you're going to support Wales over England??
I think you're 'fucking' stupid.
Listening to this beige fucker on TS just now.........
Clueless.
"I made attacking changes in order to come back from behind"?????
......Just lies really. Again.
3 like for like changes....
Saka <> Sterling
Mount <> Gallagher
Foden <> Bowen
"Players are tired...... I'm trying to balance this"
No diff. to any other country.
