Jordan Henderson is an inspiration

Reaction on Twitter relating to my most recent ramblings...

I don’t switch England games on so I never have to switch them off. International football is dross. @maradufu

Gareth Southgate could be on a £10 million bonus to win the World Cup and it wouldn’t matter. He still wouldn’t win with the players at his disposal. @rclambert1951

Whatever Southgate’s bonus is for winning the World Cup, there’s more chance of you getting the freedom of Wigan than Southgate pocketing it.

@John lamin

England v Slovenia was like a bad Checkatrade game.

@capper_mike

This is the most depressing and desperate match involving a Slovenian since Melania married Donald Trump.

@prodnose

Jordan Henderson is an inspiration to young footballers as no matter how bad they are, they one day could still play for England.

@funkygibbons

Unless England get a World Cup group of San Marino , the Canary Islands , and Doncaster Belles they have no chance.

@Forestboy1977

Southgate has made England more boring to watch than Roy Hodgson That in itself is an incredible achievement.

Raheem Sterling is so bad I actually miss Emile Heskey.

@chrisstaunton

Oxlade-Chamberlain LOL. @Gunnersaurus I’m satisfied with how Posh have performed under Grant McCann (above) over (almost) the first quarter of the League One season.

But then my ambitions were restricted to more entertaining football, beating Cobblers and making a run at the play-off places, even if success eventually eludes us. Posh are three from three in that list and hopefully the 10-day break from competitive action the players have almost now completed will have been used to remember how well they played in the first nine games and to forget how bad they were in the last two. But I still believe Wigan will win League One, Blackburn will come second and it will be hard to keep Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Bradford City and Charlton out of the play-off places.

STRACHAN’S SHORTCOMINGS

Ah I’m grateful to Scotland manager Gordon Strachan (above) for clearing up the mystery behind his country’s continued failure to qualify for the finals of anything.

It’s nothing to do with the appalling standard of their domestic game, or poor coaching, it’s the fact Scotland’s players are smaller than anyone else’s, apart from Spain that is who somehow manage to overcome their own shortcomings to play superb football and win things.

STRONGER TOGETHER NO MORE

‘Stronger, together, but only if Gareth Bale is playing’ is the new Wales slogan. I said they would be a one-tournament wonder after the Euros 2016 and I was right. Dreadful players playing dull football. That’s Wales.
