The thing is though - and I don't think it's possible to say this too often - John Terry was a total cúnt.2006 in particular we had one of the top 2 or 3 squads there: Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney
I haven't heard that song at all since the world cup started which is such a blessingWhich is I’ve said it. Folks can disagree.. I’ve seen a few podcasts with folks still pouring over ‘the golden generation’ - I think this group of players bring much more to the table.
We’re a bit more sensible about things now and not so rabidly over confident.. fuelled by the tabloids and their prayer mats and all that stuff.
I think the womens team have done well to kill the Baddiel and Skinner song too!
It’s had it’s day 1996 to 2022 - 26 years, that’s more than enough.. we couldn’t have 30 years of hurt solely of that song being out. 60 years of hurt? Time’s a healer.. it’s never gonna hurt that much.I haven't heard that song at all since the world cup started which is such a blessing
I'm sure southgate would have sussed him out and sent him to the permanent naughty stepThe thing is though - and I don't think it's possible to say this too often - John Terry was a total cúnt.
Kyle Walker talks about that to Rob & Romesh on their 3 lions show. He was one of the young lads new to the squad in 2011.But it wasn’t a squad though that was the point it was a group of cliques of a bunch of over hyped, privileged prima Donnas that thought they were doing us all a favour by turning up to play for England.
Listen even now to rio and Gary Neville talk about how they didn’t like playing and being in camp. It was toxic and new comers like downing had no chance.
I Remember watching downing playing for England ( and it could just be me) but it looked very much like the Chelsea players were passing too each other ( Ashley Cole lampard terry etc) and not downing.Kyle Walker talks about that to Rob & Romesh on their 3 lions show.

Yeah, that was embarrassing.I Remember watching downing playing for England ( and it could just be me) but it looked very much like the Chelsea players were passing too each other ( Ashley Cole lampard terry etc) and not downing.
Even watching on tv you could tell It was very cliquey.
Svens management of that squad in 2006 was really poor.2006 in particular we had one of the top 2 or 3 squads there: Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney
